Passing Shot: South Lake Tahoe's Zephyr Cove - Douglas County Nevada

Ascending the mountainside to reach hole 15 at the Zephyr Cove Disc Golf Course is a rewarding challenge. Hiking to an elevation of 6,348 feet above sea level with a 30 pound pack requires a steady pace of confident foot placement and intermittent stops for water and an intake of the views.

Outsider Art with an Artist Outside

I celebrated the Vernal Equinox today by spending nearly the entire day outside. The first half of this first day of spring was spent in Orangevale, California playing a round of golf at Shady Oaks Disc Golf Course. The second part of this last day of winter was spent pushing paint around on paper ein plein air.

Outsider Art is a phrase used to describe self-taught artists. I didn’t go to an art school to learn how to make art, but I am an astute student.
