For the past several days it has been unseasonably hot here in the valley of the sun. The highs have been around 115 degrees. Needless to say, it does not make you motivated to leave the house. Thank goodness for air conditioning.
It does however make me think back to several years ago when I went to the Oregon Coast.
I suppose the weather is never perfect anywhere year round, but I do have to say, other than the three or four months of summer, it really is lovely here, but today I would rather be at the beach.

First of all, let me borrow a line from the Grateful Dead...what a long strange trip its been.
I grew up in Appalachia, not far from Wheeling, West Virginia. I decided at seventeen that working in the coal mines was not for me and soon found myself standing at an on-ramp with my thumb out. It was the Sixties and adventure beckoned.
I'm a self taught artist, primarily focusing on the natural world. I enjoy painting the flora and fauna of this beautiful planet. I currently live in Arizona, and most of my recent works reflect the inhabitants of the Sonoran desert.

Wow… This is a beautiful picture, Ralph. It reminds me of Turtle Beach in Oregon.
