Last week my son Daniel and I spent some time up in the Wasatch mountains planting elderberry bushes to help the local wildlife habitat. The group we were working with planted about 300 plants. Notice the half dead looking sticks in the left side of the photo. I plan on heading back up there in the fall or next spring to see how many of the plants survived.
I was impressed by the view so much that the next day I went back for some painting. On my way up I was surprised to see a cinnamon colored bear in the road. There were campers in the area, so I hope the bear got away without encountering any more people. I was able to get one little (9×12) painting done it is the view from one of the spots where Dan and I planted the elderberries looking towards mount Timpanogos.
