I hope it isn’t too shocking to you, my fine readers, to learn that the California artist sometimes goes out of the state. She has a penchant for the Pacific Northwest. (“Penchant” means a strong habitual liking.) She also blogs while she is away so that the bad guys on the internet can’t tell that she is gone. Tricky, eh?
While visiting these other places, she takes photos that she hopes to paint one day. She hopes to have a show called “Going Places” to show and sell these as of yet unpainted pieces of art.
And, while she is away, sometimes she gets on a weird roll and begins writing in third person.
Joy, how lovely to hear from you! It is important to me that I write as I speak, so I appreciate your opinion. I’m glad you made it out of the flatlands. (and because of my internet paranoia, I deleted the specifics of your location from your comment!)
Here’s what I remember from my geomorphology class: River rocks aren’t that flat — they are rounder, unless they have been washed into a river from a lake. Rocks from lakes and flat bodies of water are flatter.
Jennifer, I don’t know what got into me with that third-person-speak phase. . . 😎 And I learned from a reader that the gorgeous blue flowers are Chicory! (Thank you Rebecca!)

Jana, I love your writing style. I can almost hear you, and it has been years since we have had a real, live conversation. Still enjoying your blog.
Our family moved to the mountains this summer – but not so close to you. Lovely place, much better places for the kids to play.
Anyway, I still read, but haven’t commented in a while. Looking forward to buying the cabin book when you’re done.

Thanks, Jenna – that makes sense! And thank you for the new word – “geomorphology”.
Hello Jana friend, my traveling artist. So, do commenters need to speak in the third person too? 🙂
Beautiful delicate blue flower edges above, and hike-inducing natural bridges too. Thank you for sharing.
