"Snow in the Shade" 8"x10" (Click here to bid on eBay)

One of my favorite memories of our trips from the Midwest to our kids homes in California and Arizona, was a three day stop in Jackson, Wyoming where I had two days of walking the paths up to Jenny's Lake and beyond to Hidden Falls. What was around the corner or down over a ridge was always a surprise. I have to disagree with the old adage: Travel the path less taken. I think the people that went there before me knew where the best sights were. Besides, there are thorns, bears and poison oak on those less traveled paths. Click on the image for a larger view.

"Rocky Path" 9x12 SOLD (Click here to view results on eBay)

These Path scenes always remind me of the fun I had hiking up to Hidden Falls in Jackson, Wyoming. It was the first week in May and everyone was being warned not to go alone without bear spray. The bears had just come out of hibernation and were hungry after a winters sleep. I didn't get any spray, and every crack of a twig or bird chirping would make me jump.
