CLOUDS AT THE TEPEES 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel 8" square archival white matt, glass + gold frame $150 + $15 insured priority shipping Here everyone is thinking of turkey and I still  have my head in the clouds. What can I say? . . . I'm a blonde. To me, the rain on Sunday was so luxurious, that I'm still daydreaming and right back at the Petrified  Forest National Park. Yesterdays post was of a downpour over the Puerco River, where this image is a few miles  past above the Tepees .  The Tepees were created from erosion with each colorful  band indicative of a different era in time. More can be read by clicking here . By the way, I LOVE turkey and am looking forward to the day!

RAIN AT PUERCO RIVER 6" x 6" pastel 6" glass + gold leaf frame $295 + $15 insured priority shipping * *tax inclusive I got caught in a rain storm as I stepped out last night and then it rained throughout the night.  And the evening brought back a sweet memory during  my residency two years ago at the Petrified Forest  National Park.  Standing afar, I watched the downpour as the  rain pelted the Puerco River. Love the sound, fresh  smell and the ripping wind!  Beauty of Nature!
