            Last weekend I got the best birthday present because I got to celebrate my birthday with both my kids in the mountains. It’s not often that I can get my son, a busy Economist and young father and my daughter, a busy attorney, to take an entire weekend off. It was a wonderful time of catching up with what’s been going on in each other’s lives and enjoying the outdoors despite the gray skies. We hiked along the Ocoee River through trees alternately green and bare. Being with the people I love most is the best gift in the world!

            Happy Weekend!

Several summers ago, we took a leisurely train trip up to Rochers-de-Naye, Switzerland.  This painting is of a view I photographed as we traveled to this absolutely gorgeous place. At the peak, which is 2000 metres (6,562 ft.) high, we looked at the various marmot species they have up there (a kind of small marmot zoo) and hiked in the cool, sunny weather. Although there were other people up there, it was a quiet, peaceful place.

Happy Weekend!
