Sunday Sketches

This watercolor and ink painting completes my Sketchbook Project 2012!

As we were knee deep in snow, I drifted to the ocean images.

More Snow and First Tracks

An unusual foot of snow graced our city of Olympia today.

Yes some shoveling, but time for fun too.

Fresh powder tracks......



Tee, hee :) I just could not resist

Time Out

It is vital for one's well being to take time out for fun and new vistas to spark inspiration for creativity.

I just returned from spending time in Whistler, British Columbia, skiing with my good friend, Elaine. Our last day of skiing was absolutely STELLAR! I must share some images of sunshine, new snow, and mountain vistas.

This is the morning view from our window. You can see the snow line and shadow of the mountains behind us as the sun was rising.




I did get a few runs in the fresh powder and can appreciate the tracks down the mountainside off one of the many peaks.


The view from the top of Whistler Mountain.


Here is my friend imitating the Whistler-Blackcomb insignia.


How did she do?


This is my favorite photo of the Whistler-Blackcomb insignia which my son and I took a few years back.



Whistler is one of my favorite places for renewal and inspiration.

And outstanding place to ski!

Snow Sculptures

Occasionally, we get snow in Olympia, Washington. This is day two of the winter wonderland.

This morning I looked outside and found my garden sculptures wearing white coats.










One more day of snow in the forecast :-)

Snow

A foot of snow each day!

This past weekend I was in Lake Tahoe, California, helping my cousin, Anne Roos, celebrate the release of her two new CDs; Velvet and Blue Jeans. Fun evening!

Anne at Play

The snow was an added bonus......little did I know that I would be treated to more when I returned home to Olympia, Washington. I arrived on Friday and the town of South Lake Tahoe was buzzing with the news of the first snow storm of the season. As predicted, about ten inches of snow fell that evening. I was up early to take a walk in the pristine fluff before human intervention.

Camera in hand, I recorded a few photographs.





More snow followed adding another foot the next evening.

I felt like I was in winter wonderland.
