In the airport in Grand Junction, waiting for the flight from Denver to arrive so I can get on and go right back to Denver and then Bakersfield. It’ll be good to see my husband and my cats. And my house. But those wonderful comforts like the big bathtub and the 100% latex foam hypoallergenic mattress…well, I’ll really be happy to see them all again.
Anyhow, for today’s AEDM, I have a few last Colorado creative memories. To see all the wonderful art and participants in AEDM, look here.
First, Paonia. Here’s the main street.
Yes, this IS the main street. Population is about 3,500. No stop lights. No traffic. No bad air. Good schools. Good restaurants. Good organic produce. Many wineries. Excellent art colony. But don’t tell anyone because this town is a little gem. Did I mention the deer, elk, prairie dogs, bald eagles? And the moose from last year that wandered down from Grand Mesa?
It has other little small town quirks. This is what we saw yesterday when we headed out to Delta.
There was a round up and the cows were being moved down the main highway! Actually, pretty cool.
Back in town, here’s a typical street. There are homes tucked here and there on the mesas, but in town, this is what you see.
But at the end of the street, turning the corner, is the coolest fence I’ve ever seen. Talk about art!
I want to do this in Bakersfield, but I don’t think folks in our neighborhood would react well. Nor do I think they would go unmolested. I’ll leave you with a couple of detail shots . Tomorrow I’ll have another in the Pink Daisy series. I’m happy to be going home even though I love being with the Davies Five. As soon as I get rid of this pathetic cold, I will be in the studio. Hooray! Creative every day!
AND I have some new photos in the flower gallery. They’re at the front so you don’t have to go all the way through if you don’t want to. You may not want to look at all, and that’s fine! But they are there.
