 A few more pages from the Sketch Books:

Same design as above except...

Left Page.....Leaf shapes instead of plumes.

Border Designs

Would also work as background fillers

Yellowstone Trip......2

The camping gear is stored away,

The laundry is all washed,

so I started editing images from Yellowstone...

Paul Harvey Quilt at Yellowstone Park

This is Paul Harvey's first CAMPING trip

Lower Falls at Yellowstone

This Raven flew by the falls and perched long enough

for a few photos...

Ravens are much larger than crows and are more willing

to stand still long enough to be photographed.

The crows in our yard don't give me enough time to turn the camera on,

and they squawk and fly away!

 This is the reason we went to Yellowstone:

Our youngest son, Heath, is working here with the

Fish & Wildlife Department.

 Yes, the trip was a family affair:

Gunnr absolutely adores the Buffalo!

Every time Gunnr heard someone say the word Buffalo

he started looking all over to see those big beasts!

We started calling them Bison, so we wouldn't get 

Gunnr all hopped up and excited.

I was hoping to share a few pages from the sketch books

I filled up in Yellowstone,

but I haven't come across them in the unpacking....yet.

More to Come...
