the carrizo


we're off!
for four days of camping
to california's carrizo plain.
i've written about it here and here and here
(it's a favorite place!)

on one of the days we'll be at the goodwin education center
selling photo cards and images we've made of the carrizo.

in february when we were there, the visitor's center bought some of my cards
and in march they called and invited us back to celebrate the ten year
anniversary of the carrizo plain being named a national monument.

if you are in the area please stop by and say hi
we'll be at the goodwin education center on saturday
from ten till four.

  


















mountain bluebirds, owl's clover, phacelia, fiddleneck, coreopsis, tidy tips
meadows and fields and lakes and hills
and quiet enough to hear a butterfly's wings
oh how i love this place.

i made cards with some of these photos for my shop also
you can find them here
thank you so much for the interest you show
and the kindness and comments too
it all means the world to me.

have a safe and wonderful rest of the week and weekend too
see you in a few days.

p.s.  before i forget again, the book i mentioned a few posts back is on it's way to germany, to angela.

  4. To me?!! Oh I can`t wait!! Thank you so much, Lori! And yes yes yes, your photos are so beautiful! I thought, the first one, I`d buy that, and then I saw the second, and all the others, and the bird on the wire, and the views... I`d love to help you sell them! I would stand on the other side of the counter, always bubbling, "Lady, now say, isn`t this gorgeous!? Which ones should I pick? I want them ALL!" They`d be gone in no time!
    Have fun, you both and relax well! Love from here!
