You need Adobe Lightroom I think it was to do it, I had a free trial and since then haven't had time. Sigh. I do intend to fork out the dough for the program when I have time to create a few more the posters and hang them around the house. If you want the instructions let me know and I will forward them on to you via email. As for the tent cots, I don't know if you remember but I started out using one years ago and while it was comfortable a smaller tent is just as easy to set up and the tent cot was HEAVY and it got moldy and I had to throw it away.Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/05979446142128610261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-61154462647932906562017-06-16T11:03:40.230-04:002017-06-16T11:03:40.230-04:00So happy you had this opportunity and the wisdom t...So happy you had this opportunity and the wisdom to take it!! Wish I could have been there too. I have had to substitute snapshots for sketching due to my seemingly endless "to do" list. Patience may be an obstacle too to my drawing more. If I ever become confined, maybe then I will sketch.

I haven't seen Jack-in-the-Pulpits in forever. I am happily surprised to see the electric car plugins. Almost had to be put in by a friends group rather the the Park Service. We barely have room to park all the regular cars.

I also kept a journal for many years, but like Jodee said, I stopped journaling when I started our travel blog four years ago. But I picked up my watercolors and brushes when we were home in Ashland, thinking once again that I might want to start an illustrated travel journal. We'll see how far I get with it, haha! I hope you'll show us your paintings. :-)) Your photos of the mountains and flowers are beautiful. Oh, and I want one of those tent beds, too!

And I have to say, "No, no, no pruning of apple trees or anything else on the trails." Let those old apple trees be a reminder of the people whose farms were confiscated to create this park.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
