October 7-10, 2016 Summer Lake Hot Springs, Oregon

Another wonderful day of 70’s and sunny. Very relaxing here.

Our neighbors last night (three groups) were  on their way home from Burning Man. They have been there since August 11th. Running the show and then doing clean up. There was some breezes, but it looks like there was a lot more in the valley, this is blowing dust and salt on the dry lake bed.

I sorted my giant bag of needles I collected yesterday and put them in bundles.

Not a bad haul. We spent at least an hour in the hot springs this after noon. We are pretty noodley. John at the outflow of one of the pools.

I made this basket while we were driving across northern Utah and Nevada. I don’t usually get up for sunrise, but I saw this outside the window, got up, took some photos and went back to bed.

I am working on a new basket. It has a piece of glass I made in the bottom. It has golden aspens and a deer on it. and so far I have two of the 4 aspen leaves I am putting in. Stay tuned. I boiled some of the new needles in glycerin. I like the color it makes them, and it makes them more flexible so I don’t have to use them wet.

Looking west you see this plume of dust in the valley.  I had to move the lawn chair to the lee side of the bus. All this soaking in the hot springs has made us very relaxed. Progress on the basket, all four aspen leaves and the yellow wrapped coil. Going to do some blue beads and blue wrapped coils. Or at least I think I am, the baskets kind of have a mine of their own.

Sunset was spectacular tonight. Kind of a 360 degree one. Here are a few shots.

Other views of sunset. We found the meditation  labyrinith at the resort today. Walked in lots of circles to get to the middle.

In the middle of the labyrinith was this circle of stones with the heart shaped stone. There are a number of wood carvings around, found this owl today. There is a controled burn across the street, looks like we are burning up. The air was really smokey all day.

Added the blue wrap and some blue beads to the basket. Stay tuned for progress. The sunset was firey tonight.
