This young snowshoe hare gave us such a lot of laughs. He seemed to be living or sheltering under one of the porches, and would go through such antics playing and leaping and flipping around in the air.
Some of the ranch's horses and mules.
The painting I worked on at the retreat - a 24x36 oil. I left the pond only blocked in to dry so I could put the details over the top of the underpainting. I also did another small painting which I got nearly finished.

Buck Deer
Early one morning and another afternoon we had nice rain showers. They didn't cause us a bit of problem, just gave the trees and flowers a nice watering.
Melita, - because of her and Hank we are able to come here and enjoy such a wonderful spot.
Melita, Lois and Judi
Cow and Calf Moose - They came every day on their rounds, and probably watererd from the horse trough. We think this is the same mother moose we've seen with calves other years.
The three photos above are of Ruth repairing the torn painting. The top one is spreading Miracle Muck (glue for this purpose) onto a gatorboard backing. Then the canvas is pressed onto the backing. It came out wonderfully, and I will next paint over the repair after which you should never be able to see any damage.
Some of the cooks (or ... Too Many Cooks?) As usual the meals were all delicious. For the dinners there were teams of two that made the meal.
Cabin. Very nice accomodations.
There were
millions ... MILLIONS of gophers.
Hillsides of Sunflowers, and many other varieties, turning whole areas pink or lavender.
Part of the Group and the table we share to work on. Ten attended.
This is Kay. A few people painted outside, but not for long because the bugs were so bad. Everyone got bitten, and their favorite remedy was to swab the bites with vinegar.
