Columbia River scene

photo credit: Sally Ashbrook

as many of you know, i grew up in the Tri-Cities (Eastern Washington). a land of sagebrush, wind & dust, it also boasts the green beauty of vineyards, orchards and other irrigated agriculture, thanks to the bounty of the three rivers that converge there. it exudes a beauty all its own--one that growing up there slowly taught me to appreciate. i am eagerly anticipating crossing the state of washington today--watching the transition from lush green forest and mountains, to high mountain meadows, to desert sagebrush giving way to irrigated farmland.

i was pleasantly surprised to find the above print in Sally's collection (available for sale at http://sallyashbrook.com/photography/prints_for_sale) as it instantly reminded me of home and summers spent on the river. she's having an art giveaway on her blog, Aprovechar, and i *hope* i might be the lucky recipient of this beautiful photo to join my other B&W artwork in my home.

happy browsing, and cross your fingers for me!
