Back from our road trip...

We are home after five delicious days tucked away in the Owen's Valley between the Eastern Sierra Nevada and the Inyo Range.

This view of Owen's Valley is to the south from a bit northwest of the town of Independence.

I captured this image at sunset last Saturday and made a simulated watercolor on canvas image from the photo (with Photoshop).

Directly behind me, from where the photo was taken, is the driveway entrance to the home of the family we stayed with. Our dear friends, Brad, Amy, Claire & Hannah.

We spent most of our time there hiking in peaceful solitude or exploring along roads much like the one you see above.

More pictures to follow, right now I have to catch up on chores around here.

Thank you Brad, Amy, Claire, and Hannah for a wonderful extended weekend!
