March 22-24, 2017 Death Valley Back to Shoshone, California

The view from our room at Furnace Creek Inn of the garden below through the screen. A mushroom in Death Valley??I looked it up and it is a desert shaggy mane.



A dove checking out the jewels. He probably thought they were food.  The family before dinner at Furnace Creek Inn- Laurie, Judy, Jill , Suep and John. We have been doing this trip since  1991 and most years we took a photo in front of this fireplace. They are going to remodel this year and this fireplace will look different. 
We do this trip over Judy’s birthday. Happy Birthday Judy.  Our good bye breakfast on our last morning in Death Valley.

Just finished this little purple basket. The bead work is called peyote stitch.  This white basket is the the new masterpiece in progress. The center is an abalone shell carved into love birds. Not sure where I am going with this from here. Stay tuned.

I took a water color class on Saturday. We had three students and one instructor and painted up by the pup fish pond. It was lovely weather a fun, informtive class and I think water color is not my medium. My first masterpiece. I gave it to Mac, she named it Calm after the hurricane. 


Sue and Toni painting the pond. Me in front of the scene with my painting. 


Judy and I hiked the loop and the flowers are popping.  A wash and a hillside of flowers.


More brittle bush in another wash. A pile of Master Blister Beetles.
