Southwest — All The Rest
March 6, 2014 by
If I may say so, you should prepare yourself for a visual feast! I didn’t think I did a lot of shooting on our trip to the Southwest in February but this collection of images would prove otherwise. These photos were taken in the Mojave Desert of Arizona and California, the foothills of Ramona, California and San Diego. When Robert and I set out to plan our February adventure we hoped to make it over to Texas to raft a portion of the Rio Grande after meandering through New Mexico but had to axe a huge portion of our journey in order to make it to a family fiesta in San Diego and then home to a wedding in Idaho (in which we played roles of bridesmaid, groomsman, wedding official and hip hop dancers…more on that at a later date). So, while this trip did not turn out how we planned, not at all, it was still a very, very fabulous time — we made some memories together which is, in essence, all I really wanted from this trip.
Thanks to all our friends and family who opened their homes to us, and special thanks to one of my favorite little boys who gave up his bunk beds in his man cave for us — you’re the best, Roo. We sure appreciated it.
Without further delay, please enjoy!

Dawn patrol with fresh powder, two buddies, and the willows full of chickadees? Yes, please.

When we began walking, the valley was white with the frayed edges of a fog bank. We walked long enough to watch the sun burn the clouds away revealing a brilliant sky, bluebird belly and red berries divine.
In the studio, all was warm and I built a few bare, sterling canvasses to be worked with and finished out tomorrow. At the height of the day, I looked out the big studio window that opens to the West, saw Tater Tot sleeping in the sun and I joined him there for a bit, running my hands over the silk of his ears while hearing our heartbeats collide under the pleasant blanket of January light.
It was such a lovely day. Now friends are coming for dinner and drinks and tea and talk. Rob is in the kitchen making his famous sweet chili (The secret? HONEY!) and I suppose I’ll go help out.
I hope you are all better than well!
Items of note:
I am over here today with a dash of prose and some pretty photos — Dog Power.
I failed to mention this little interview last week.
You’ll love this, not just because the fellows strip down to their gitch for most of the film but because it’s awesome.
And how about this beautiful, online book — a quick read that will make your heart light and your soul yearn for the summer forest and the mountain meadows brimming with lupin and larkspur.
Tra la la!
