This is a causeway, and then there is a berm, and then an agricultural field. Skagit is known for good ag, and especially for those darn tulip fields. Maybe the bear eats tulips. I did see several Great Herons, a raccoon, a Kingfisher and of course our bear tracks!<br /><br />Love it there.<br /><br />Jala, we did meet up with another painter who is local, and who complains about mosquitoes.

Many of my artist friends who I know from other walks of life have taken up blogging, but of those I know only via the ethernet, this is number 2. I may get to meet Lisa McShane next month, too, and I hope that works out.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-6426774928000423492010-07-22T12:07:49.884-07:002010-07-22T12:07:49.884-07:00Is there better blog copy in the world than when b...Is there better blog copy in the world than when bloggers meet?

It sure was a pleasure to meet ......Hi Casey!!!!!!!<br />It sure was a pleasure to meet ... finally! Thanks for taking the drive all the way from Kirkland to La Conner, just to share talk and painting time! The blogosphere is wonderful, don't you think?<br />I loved having the opportunity to see your paintings and to see your process as well.<br />Thanks also for telling one other piece of the story...it seemed only fitting, since you figured it out! <br />I am glad to hear that you had a good trip home. Thank you also for the "full spread" on you blog. I embarrassingly feel like a "cover girl"...can't say i have been in that place:-)<br />Cheers!!!!<br />Loriannloriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.com
