The Sky, Art, Birds and Travel

A Wyoming Herringbone sky.   Wyoming was the rainiest place in our travels west.

Could be a spooky Halloween night in Hot Springs, S.D.  

A paper cut in a house we stayed at in Hot Springs.  The lady had so much great art.  We found out Air BNB is a fine way to travel, meet new people and stay in interesting places.

Guys want color and original too, he walked in, tried on a few vests and decided on this one.

He is a singer and wanted something for performances.  He let me take his picture, it's a good fit and looks fabulous.

A store window in Ogden, Utah.  Unfortunately it was closed.

Trick or Treat

OK -  I tried to think of a way to pull this disjointed post together and it didn't work.  Photos from downtown Hot Springs, a spooky looking stairway, the town wasn't spooky though.  That herringbone sky was remarkable and decided me on a pattern for a weaving.  I had to include the cool guy who bought a vest, he was the first man to come in and seriously look at a vest for himself.  I was really happy when he decided he wanted one.  I love everyone who tries on my handwoven wearables, whether they buy or not, they make it fun to do the art fairs.  The photo of the shop window taken when walking past it, Ogden, UT.  Second time in Ogden, UT, it's got a great main street with little shops and restaurants.  The last pic - Swallows, waiting to be fed.

Sky Dancing

Sky Dancing, neck ornament - experimenting and playing at the end of the warp, colors and pattern.

We have been traveling and some of the sights we saw are too spectacular and wondrous for words, some need an explanation.  Loving summer!

The Falls of the Sioux

Art Sculpture in downtown Sioux Falls - I love the downtown, I don't know how long they have been featuring sculptures from around the country, they're good and different every year.  Some of the businesses purchase the art pieces making their stay in Sioux Falls permanent. 

Sky watching was our entertainment across Wyoming.  Lots of rain in these parts this year, flooding in some towns, everywhere fields and ditches were blooming with wildflowers and green grasses.

The Tetons

Bitteroot and mallow.  So many wildflowers.

Hanging around the campground.

Our destination, cute little house in Boise!

Paint brush clouds, downtown Boise.  Love that light blue brick.

Flowers in the lava cracks at Craters of the Moon, Idaho.

Lots of big sky, miles and miles...

The Mitchell, South Dakota Corn Palace.  The guys on the scaffolding were scraping off the corn cobs, I'm guessing getting ready for the new crop when it arrives.  They have lots of work left.

Yes -- corn cobs make up this building's art.  First time seeing it.  The domes were sitting beside the building - someday I want to see the it with the domes on and decorated.  Even more impressive!
