I have moved!

I figured out how to solve my issues with typepad and have gone back.

I saw this graffiti in southern Idaho over the holidays.
The artists must have been excited to have these fresh white trains as canvases.

A fox and a storm

yummy watercolor

one thing i love about watercolor paints is that even if you only have a couple of minutes to paint,
you can still make something pretty with just a few strokes of the brush.

Shades of White

I'm having a love affair with all of the amazing tiny tundra miracles outside my
doorstep. I could get lost out there if I weren't afraid of a polar bear sneaking up on me.

I'm interested in finding out the names of the different lichen species. Here is a book I'm going to look for.

1. dew on willow cotton
2. drops of dew accidentally smudged around the lens made this cool affect
3. this one reminds me of antlers
4. lichen cups! love them!

5. pretty ruffles of lichen that remind me of an ocean plant
