Counntry Structure

 East Ottertail Minnesota has a collection of old

farming buildings re purposed. I think these structures

look amazing and have the potential for a

series of quilts. We are down to 4 days of our

month in Battle Lake Minnesota. This trip

has been on our bucket list. This is an area

that my family and I have visited for over

59 years. I hadn't been here in 20 years and

I have enjoyed my visit.

 Friendly people. We had lunch Sunday and

the computer was down so they could not process

credit cards. Just com back tomorrow and pay us.

What trust. I am well rested and ready for creating

in the studio. Lots of ideas from my visit to Minnesota.

 I am ready to go home and start processing .

First I must spend some more time with the

camera and record more of this special place

from my childhood.

Water studies

 This is a great opportunity to study the movement

of water. It is fascinating to see the patterns  that

moving water makes.

 Add is some rocks and it changes again

 In still water I can see what is beneath. But my

favorite is water under pressure. These patterns

are the most interesting. This is the last week of

our Minnesota adventure. One more thing will

be crossed off of our bucket list. I have loved

the cool nights sleeping in fresh air. The air

is so free of any pollution and dust that

I sleep 6 to 8 hours a night. I will go home so

rested that I will be supercharged in the studio.
