An Art Filled Day

It's fall. Every view out your window is a beautiful painting. The reds on the mountains, the yellows of the devil's club plant and the pink of the raspberries in my back yard all create a stunning palette.

Ginzee and I took a bike ride on Friday. I was on my pink coaster bike, Bonnie. The world looks different on Bonnie. She prefers slow and easy, taking in the scene and enjoying the moment. We wound through a neighborhood that I had yet to explore. My puppy's exercise needs have opened up a lot of new experiences.

Our winding trip took us to a trail that we frequent during ski season but don't often visit this time of year. Ginzee took off after a grouse and I parked Bonnie to reel the dog back in. On my way back into the clearing, there sat Bonnie all content on this beautiful fall day. Yellow leaves scattered about with her pink paint against the green grass. The sun was peeking through the clouds adding a glint of orange to the mix. Every artists dream.

It is short season here in Alaska. I try to make time to enjoy every minute. Fall sure makes it easy to have art filled days!
