Paintings from our travels

It has been two months since the National Parks trip. Good news - the sights inspired Popsie (aka Pop Pop) to paint some of the memorable scenes we encountered. Bad news - De De has a stress fracture in her left toe from the hiking, and then playing pickle ball and golf a bit too intensely. We'll have to find a better balance for our next trip (snorkeling is pretty low impact). De De is now making good progress toward recovery. Steve and Jess have given Pop Pop a showing for his paintings during the next "First Friday" in Old City, Philadelphia. The paintings I'll show are from our travels, our neighborhood, our grandchildren, our garden, or a combination of those venues. Here are pictures of the paintings: ...From the National parks trip are scenes from Yosemite (right now burning in forest fires), Glacier, Crater Lake, and what we call the "Oregon Trail." ... From our trip to Turkey are scenes from Cappadocia, and Fethiye. ... From our trip to Antarctica and South Georgia, the "invasion" of South Georgia. ... And locally, barns in our area and the garden. ... And certainly not least, pics of Madison and Nicholas a few years ago.
