irises in boulder

Hi, there!

Eric and I just got back from a lovely trip to Colorado.

There was so much good about it, and the timing was

just right as today marks the end of the school year.

Good to get a nice dose of chilly weather and rain just

as we head into the ninety degrees of summer!

Also, the trip was a nice blend of structured and unstructured

activities, time with friends and with just the two of us,

lots of walks down bricked pathways in downtown

Boulder and Denver, and GREAT FOOD. 

This patch of irises was growing outside the window at 

one of the coffee shops we discovered, and it may be

the first watercolor I've painted in over a year. It felt

good to pull the ol' paintbrush out again. I hope to do so 

more in the months to come! Light-colored watercolors

don't scan well, so I've attempted to color correct; however,

you may get a better feel for it by clicking on the image for a close-up.
