Aspen Wood

Day 3, July 23rd
I drove to Lake Katherine on a beautiful road early in the morning. It was rainy and cold but the view was absolutely beautiful with occasional sightings of white tailed deer by the side of the road. I parked my card at the entrance to the lake and found myself facing the wood of aspen. It started to rain which could not stop me. I set up my easel and painted away. There was absolute serenity surrounding me. The only other sound is from the birds and lapping of water against the shore of the lake. There was something about this beautiful place touching me deeply and I almost felt choked with teer.
