When I’m not painting or teaching art, I enjoy hiking with friends to places such as Little River in Port Angeles, Washington. This is clearly one of the most beautiful settings; very similar to the Hoh Rain Forest. We hiked in a few miles, enjoyed the fragrance, caves, flora, hearing water drop from the rock cliffs, and strolling by trees who are 500 years old. Then we saw cougar tracks and decided it was time to go back anyway. We are blessed in this corner of the world.
