Waterwheel in MO.....

My husband built this 4' waterwheel for a cousin in MO.. looks beautiful in their back sloping yard... stream recycles and originates in a lake at the bottom of the slope.. green, lush.. peaceful.....

desert wildflowers, desert scene and .......
















these are back in MI on one of our trips... Lake Superior at Paradise is cold and breathtaking... Taquamonon Falls is a 50' drop on the Taquamonon River in the Upper Peninsula... so much beauty there.....


these are still lifes we did at a Lilli Pell workshop here in Seguin. She is wonderful and is offering us weekly lessons this fall... an opportunity not to miss...





several more portraits/water scenes
