While wandering down to New Mexico, I visited the Washita Battlefield NHS in Oklahoma, which is the site of an attack on a Cheyenne village by General Custer. A very moving experience listening to the wind and feeling the stillness of the landscape. #Washita #NPS #eastcoastkin #rememberhistory

After a bit of a hiatus (that sounds better then too much work and life happening!😜) I’m going to try and get better at posting my art and wanderings. This mornings post is a new illustration that I’m still deciding what to do with. #illustration #eastcoastkin #nature #Gouache #springflowers

Happy #blueskymonday! The blue skies of the southwestern USA never fail to impress! I learned on this trip that this is called a crested or cristate saguaro. It is a nature mystery as biologists don’t know why this growth pattern happens. #saguaro #arizona #desert #cactus

Here in Massachusetts, we generally fared better than our southern neighbors, receiving mostly powdery snow. While housebound, I decided to look to spring and paint a lady's slipper! Here's to thinking warm spring thoughts! #wildflowers #sciart #gouache #eastcoastkin #springthoughts #art

Another photo from our camping trip this week at Mohawk Trail State Forest in western Mass. A stately guardian of the forest, the barred owl, for my #forestfriday offering. #owl #birds #dcr #MAstateparks #eastcoastkin #mohawktrailstateforest #berkshires

While hiking we saw a flutter and after a while we noticed this beautiful owl watching us from their high perch. As we walked further down the trail we realized it was right next to the trail - a little stressful for us as we walked by, but the owl did not show any stress and we quickly left it to its hunt.

My young campers & I spotted a slithery friend in the water today. After inspection (from a safe distance) we continued our pond exploring. Mr Snake decided to follow us and stay alarmingly close. I decided our retreat was the best choice and we left him to his frog hunt. #herper #eastcoastkin
