Day 5: This is what at least half of day 5 looked like, leading us toward Bellingham, WA. In my opinion, eastern Washington State has really been overshadowed by western Washington State. This country is beautiful! The topography here is a geomorphologist’s dream… these rolling hills are enormous features formed by the catastrophic release of water from glacial Lake Missoula. … (more…)
Day 4: After spending the night in Bozeman, we continued westward on I-90, headed toward Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. Here’s where we crossed the Continental Divide - sure doesn’t look like raindrops that fall on the other side of this overpass head west… I suppose there’s some slop in the location of signage at the divide. The divide is around Butte,… (more…)
Hello there! It sure has been awhile.

Here we have Yellowstone again – my inspiration photo for the old bathroom remodel. This photo of the Grand Prismatic Pool has so many colors in it – it could inspire more than one room in my house… I like this palette because it has a cooler end and a warmer end… that mimics nature in fact; warmer colors for… (more…)
Here’s another photo that Eric took. He was literally out in the field for work this time when these colors and textures caught his eye. I’m beginning to see that natural color palettes are synonymous with ‘neutral’ color palettes. Maybe. No wonder most people like them – they’re everywhere. I’m partial to the left end of this palette – looks… (more…)
