The Ponderosa

It's time for a "last hurrah" before school starts up again. We called a family camp out to whichever of the kids could make it, threw our bedrolls and hammocks into the truck and left the terrible heat of home behind for a few days. Evening gully-washers with thunder and lightning are just part of camping in the southwest during monsoon season and the cooler air they bring is heavenly. I decided my sketchbook needed a ponderosa tree to commemorate the day, so sat on a rock for a couple of hours of creative work. Sweet day. 

Thanks for stopping by! Alice
