Well, I’ll say they were WOW in certain places. Some places were more like blah. For those of you who live in Western Colorado, where …
The weather cleared and all was wonderful. We had to wait but finally it happened although it was Friday, our last day in the area. I did manage to get a couple of watercolors done though. The colors had just exploded overnight. It was spectacular. This one is on the old Wilson Rd. just south of Moose, if you are familiar with …

Well, it’s good to be home. Rolled the big two wheeler into my driveway yesterday afternoon about 2:00 after a 16 day, 4,838 mile tour through Northern British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.
