Range Gallery
This gorgeous print (titled: Afternoon at El Tapatio) is the only souvenir I brought back from Colorado. While we were exploring Manitou Springs, we stopped in this great little gallery & met the proprietor, Kathleen McFadden. I'm always so happy to see a woman earning her living in a creative field! Her work is really

Manitou Springs
The Peeps! That's the name of this public art display by Liz Szabo in the cute town of Manitou Springs, Colorado. Probably since I'm a new chicken-owner I seemed to be spying hens everywhere. 🙂 The whole downtown area was sprinkled with artistic touches. Loved these store fronts… The basket on this pink bike says,

Extended Summer
I'm back home from Colorado and what a great trip! We had blue skies every day. Good food, good company, beautiful scenery. I couldn't have had a better time.

A fair day…
Ok, do you know what kind of critter that is? When I saw it from 10 or 15 feet away, I thought it was a bunny. It's a chicken! A Silkie Bantam to be exact. We visited the state fair today and the first stop we made was the chicken exhibit. Who knew there were

Fair Weather
Overcast & kind of drizzly? Must be almost time for the State Fair! I love walking the fairgrounds before the official opening ~ the rides aren't quite together & there are no crowds. Found the Ferris wheel seats waiting to be hoisted up… A bit of trivia ~ do you know where the name Ferris

Weekend Adventure
This weekend my daughter was invited to go along on a glacier flight-seeing tour. What you're looking at is part of Knik Glacier about 50 miles outside of Anchorage. Isn't it beautiful? I've never gone to see a glacier up close, but perhaps I should take better advantage of where I'm living and do so.
