Another Winter Walk in Three Rivers

I love February in Three Rivers, so I walked a route that I haven’t walked in a long time, wanting to test my foot and my ability to endure discomfort. There were plenty of things to distract me, such as stealing a tangerine, dodging traffic, and taking photos.

This is an area where I hope to bring a couple of artist friends so we can paint (and maybe swat bugs) together.
A friend said she cannot see the elephant on Alta Peak, so I took this photo and outlined its image in hopes that the elephant shows for her.

I take the same photos over and over, always hoping that I will discover a familiar subject in better light or find another angle in order to make an irresistible painting someday.

P.S. In case you were wondering, 3.5 miles, foot discomfort tolerable, and I figured I could have gone another 1-2 miles without actively looking for a hatchet.

  1. Thank you Jana! Now I see the elephant in the snow. Can you see it w/out the snow?

    • Melissa, the snow makes the elephant visible; without snow, there isn’t enough contrast.

  2. You have a nice collection of beautiful photos, ma’am! A good rainstorm and a few days of sun creates some gorgeous views!

    So NOW I see the elephant (finally)! Thank you.

    3.5 miles is a very goodly amount. Congratulations! Now rest up today and don’t push it!
