| Yellowstone Reflections Soft Pastel 19 X 25" original available - email Mimi image #16 available as note cards or prints |
Mimi's thoughts ~ I saw this view on a hike in the southern part of the park during the lovely-lazy days of summer. I was struck by the reflection and knew it would be an incredible pastel. |

| Mimi's thoughts ~ This day was one of those unbelievable days in the first part of Fall in the Northern Range of the park. The sky was so clear and the air carried a twinge of chill, yet the sun was so warm. I hiked with a friend and kept stopping to take photos. The colors were amazing! Aspen are, hand's down, my favorite tree. I love this image because it makes me want to follow the trail to unknown finds :) |

| Northern Meadow Soft Pastel 12 X 20" original available - email Mimi image #48 available as note cards or prints |

| Mimi's thoughts ~ This perfect meadow in the Northern part of Yellowstone is the companion piece to Aspen Glow, above. I have been wanting to do this picture for quite some time. I was drawn to the striking sun slanting across the meadow and the contrast between the aspen and the dark fir forest. |

| Mimi's thoughts ~ Every time I watch a show of Old Faithful I see some thing new. It's especially fun to focus on the soft colors of the steam, reflecting the sky and clean light of our park. Also, I admire the warm textural pallet that surrounds the famous geyser. It's a kick to see the before and after changes! P.S. - a great spot to watch an eruption is up at Observation Point. This is the lava flow situated above the geyser. Then stop at the General Store for a scoop of ice cream. |

| Sunset Lake Alaska Basin ~ Grand Teton National Park Soft Pastel 19 X 25" original available image #46 available as note cards or prints |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mimi's thoughts ~ The Alaska Basin is a very special place in Grand Teton National Park. It looks west, towards Idaho and is filled with a full spectrum of colorful gems, from the rich wildflowers to the rocks. Every time I go there I have a hard time seeing everything! I want to stare at the views far away, then I want to see all the tiny details in the sands and rocks of the lake. Then there's the riot of flowers come July and August - whew! A very special place indeed. |

| Mimi's thoughts ~ When I drive into the park for the first time every summer and when I leave at the end of the season in the fall, this is the place I consider my touchstone. This view is 9 miles north of Fishing Bridge, where the Yellowstone River leaves Yellowstone Lake. We affectionately call this place, Grizzly Overlook. This is the spot to scan the valley for an incredible diversity of wildlife at dawn & dusk. The mountains in the distance are the Washburn Range. They are the northern edge of the Yellowstone Caldera. Hike to the top of Mt. Washburn for one of the classic jaw-dropping views of the park (6 miles round trip). |
