Another early morning sky

 The light here is so amazing and even the cloudy skies are beautiful though the sun is trying hard to break through over the mountains.

Sage Timberwolf

One of the serendipitous things that happened while we were at Joshua Tree National Park was to meet Sage Timberwolf - a tame wolf that was an animal rescue. He now works in the movie and commerical industry. I have his business card - just in case I need a wolf for something! Has beautiful light blue eyes (his eyes never changed to the true amber color that adult wolves have). It was quite fun to be up close and personal with a wolf - tame or otherwise.

Joshua Tree National Park adventure

We spent a wonderful day with the grandkids at Joshua Tree National Park. They love to climb on rock and rocks there were - boulders, piles, giant piles of rocks everywhere. At one giant pile there were several people walking a tightrope between the top of hte boulders. Very cool and scary to watch.The color of the rocks against the sky, the patterns of shadows, and the sheer beauty of such a simplifed environment made for a good photo day as well!

Tree slice patterns

Walking through the forest at 8500 feet in the San Jacinto forest I find all kinds of beautiful patterns , some of which I hope will become new art quilts in my Line Dancing series.
