"part one with Misty"

Usually on the first day of my

Valley Ridge art retreats

I don't take many pictures

as I'm so busy soaking everything in

~~~~~

But by the end of day two

there are more photos on my camera

than most humans would ever even want to look at

~~~~~

so if you want to see my ART pictures

you'll have to wait until

"part two with Misty"

but for now

I still think you'll be entertained

with this little ditty

~~~~~

The above photo shows you

the ranger

that Bill and Kathy

use to drive around their land

at Valley Ridge

~~~~~

and a few us were lucky enough

to get the land tour

at the end of our first day

Bill, Kathy and Misty

The beautiful trout stream

adorable and fun loving Misty and me

adorable and fun loving Misty

trying to push me in the trout stream

{way to catch that picture Kathy}

Misty and Mary Ann taking

photos of the cows on the hill

This is Misty's new friend Arthur

{don't laugh, this is what she named him}

and now this is funny

~~~~~

here is Misty holding a stick

with the inch worm that Linda found

this is still the inch worm

starting to realize that maybe

we are dangerous

predators

so what's an inchworm to do

when he feels like he might be in danger??

become one with the stick

{seriously, the tall part sticking straight up on the left side

is still the inchworm, completely camouflaging himself}

~~~~~

So this is how day one ended

out in the fields

with bugs and creepy crawlies

and more laughs than

you can ever imagine

~~~~~

stay tuned for part two
