Michigan in Fall

 

 We went to Michigan a few years ago to visit our relatives . Took lots of pictures while visiting the parks we used to go to. MI is a riot of wildflowers in the fall. I painted this with pastel then did a larger piece  in acrylic.

Bahia Beach,FL

 

 

This was a beautiful day at Bahia Honda Beach between Marathon and Big Pine Key in Florida. I took pictures and painted this a few years ago but this time I did it in pastel. We haven't been back there since hurricane Irma. I heard the campground we went to has been sold to a resort firm. Oh well. Now that Fort Myers, where I live now, has been devastated by Ian, I'm sure the same thing will happen to the beach area here.

 

St Augistine

 

We went to St Augistine a few months ago. It's the oldest city in Fl with an long history going back to the Indigenous people and Spaniards. We took the trolley the first day, getting off at the spots of interest. I like historic cities that do that, don't you. You see more attractions and and the drivers share interesting  information about each site. The architecture is very European.
