Hiking with the girls!

A few of my favorite artist friends decided to take the day off from our studios and go for a hike in the Appalachian Mountains of Western Maryland.
For me, it was so refreshing to be out and crunching on all the crispy leaves with Ceil, Dalis and Piver, smelling that wonderful smell that only happens with the changing of summer to fall.








Ceil and Piver decide it is waaaayyy easier to decend the trail, than backtracking up it.
Just look at all the wonderful colors that surrounded us as we talked about our lives, and yes, our art!
What inspiration of color for us to take back to our studios or just the quite peace that allowed us a breather from our busy lives.
We had to gingerly step on mossy slippery stones and decided it was necessary to use sticks because a couple of my friends accidently dipped their feet in the babbling stream!
Ceil, myself and Piver, after stripping ourselves of some layers and saying goodbye to the warm fall day, jumped in the car with Dalis and decended the mountain back to our busy lives. Now, where did I put those pliers?
