We just spent more than a week in the deserts of the southwest. Donna made lots of new watercolor paintings, Peter played some ukulele, and both of us hiked up and down and through the vermillion cliffs.

I love it when the trail just drops into a slot like this! Hovenweep

Well, we are nearing the end of our second wandering book artists' road trip. The next post will probably be the last and it will certainly come from California!

I'm going to miss taking this trip vicariously with you two, but I'm sure you can't wait to get home.
Anyway, beautiful photos of the SW. Would sure like to see some of those watercolors Donna painted. Maybe you should post some.
Take care,
Carl Mario
