Sunsets & Flowers – Spring Camping in the US West March 2022

I was born in Baltimore, and even though I’ve lived nearly half of my life on the West Coast, I still consider myself an East Coast girl — BUT! — I love the west—- I’m conflicted, what can I say?

The western states of the US (to me) means grit, gusto, exploration and it’s still raw, full of innovation waiting to happen. FWIW: I still love John Wayne and the Beach Boys… call me old…I guess I am.

Here’s a few shots of some zen experiences from our recent 3500 mile camping trip from 2/28/2022 – 3/17/2022… It was windy and cold, but sunny (unlike our home in western Washington)…and COVID seemed to be over (for now at least)..yay!…..a good trip for sure! I’m definitely going to pop open this page for painting inspiration! xo
