Who’s ready for the weekend?! 🙋‍♀️ Our household has been fighting a little summer cold and it has taken its toll on our energy. For now we’ll just admire this mornings flower harvest. .

Vallecito, California (Part 2). Our next installment to our #highway49roadtrippin guide. 🕶 .
.
.We’re sitting here wondering what these caves look like right now with all the water rushing down. We visited Natural Bridges (here pictured with our kiddo) over the Summer on one of the hottest, smokiest days in California. The trek down to this river & rock fortress is somewhat daunting, only in that..... once you are deep into this Earth’s crevice, you might make a silent prayer that nothing goes wrong because there’s zero reception and miles of nothing in between! 🕶 .
.
.
No matter the risk, however, this exploration is worth the steps put in. The caves are magical, the water is refreshingly cold, the seclusion is needed. Natural Bridges, Vallecito, Calaveras County. ✅.

⛈Incredible day in the high country, finishing up as the thunder boomed across the mountains and the rain came pounding down. I’ll post the finished painting tomorrow.

Vallecito, California (Part 3). #highway49roadtrippin. 🌳 .
.
.
Originally, we had passed through this town for work a few times and admired the quaint, isolation it all was- 2 streets and some partial country roads along with a building or two left over from the #GoldRush era plus the Church. We had no idea what was tucked much deeper into the foothills surrounding Vallecito. 🌳 .
.
. .
But, having lived smack dab on #Highway49 for a few years we kept hearing of these lucious green, cool breeze caves with chilled water flowing, ones that didn’t reflect the dry, arid and parched hills visible to the passerby’rs. We mention this oasis, and other nearby caverns earlier in our feed, or see them on our ##highway49roadtrippin hashtag 😊🌳 .

Running sprints...two of the quick studies I painted yesterday of the incredible storm clouds as the high country gets pounded with a spring storm. Love this dramatic time of year!

Snow ❄️ is in the forecast next week. If you’re headed up to bearvalleyresort to ski 🎿 stop by our Tasting Room on the way! Wine is an excellent way to stay warm after hitting the slopes (or anytime really 😉).⠀

Night reflections. ⁣
⁣
I took advantage of the California blackout to shoot the meteor showers. While there wasn’t too much activity, you can see a few near the Milky Way. It’s been great getting out and reconnecting with my home mountains and forests 🌲🏔🌌⁣

New Month, New Cup! ☕️🎄❤️ I cant believe it’s been a month since I posted last! If you’ve been following my stories, you may have seen I’ve was in the hospital 🏥 for a week and had surgery on Thanksgiving followed by an unexpected ER trip that same night! Not exactly the Thanksgiving we were hoping for, as we had to cancel our magical Lake Tahoe vacation. But we’re going to make up for it and are heading to the happiest place on earth for Christmas 🎄🐭🏰
•
What are you looking forward to this month? ☃️🎄🎁
•

Casual Holiday Look or Christmas Outfit perfect for running around doing all the holiday shopping off everyone’s wishlists! This red beanie is so soft and cozy and pairs perfectly with my red lipstick! 👄 The American Eagle Peplum Plaid top is one of my new favs especially when paired with this warm white vest. I’m wearing a medium in both. http://liketk.it/2HUhV #liketkit liketoknow.it #LTKholidaystyle #ltkstyletip

And just like that, winter is turning the mountains white. This little frame shop will be closed Wednesday & Thursday and will reopen this Friday | 12-4p | and Saturday | 10-3p | May you enjoy your feast, whether small or large, with family, friends and friends who are family. As we gather round the table with our family we’ll be feeling abundant in gratitude. Thankful for you, your love and appreciation for all things art, and for the growth that this community has helped us to create this past year!
