Painting and hiking


I've been painting fabric and hiking this week, and I'll tie them together by pointing out that the fuchsia in the painted fabric matches the color in my hiking shirt.

And the deep purple in this fabric ...

... matches the intensity of the blue in yesterday's desert sky!


From there I'll segue into saguaros from the hike in Sabino Canyon on the far east side of Tucson.


We spotted another rare crested saguaro! They look so top heavy that I'm amazed they don't fall over.


We hiked for hours through thousands of saguaros in sunny 70-something temperatures and were rewarded by a rest stop at a waterfall and clear, cool pools.



Barb stretched out on the rocks for more sun, but I relaxed in the shade.


We've officially launched the Feet and Forks Southwest! Here's the feet shot.


We forgot to put our forks in the food picture, but here are the three kinds of fries we shared afterward at Zinburger: sweet potato, truffle, and zucchini. It was a most excellent day!


Have a colorful day

    When you come to a fork in the road ... pick it up and use it.

    Getting back in the swing of life - that's great! And I was surprised at your water picture. My stereotype of your area precludes water features. :-)

    I am so happy for you! Finally, you have found your tribe and are doing what you wanted to be doing when you moved there! Congrats on the Southern branch of F & F! And I love the beautiful fabrics you've painted... can't wait to see what you do with them. BTW, who needs forks if it's french fries? ;-)
