Cabin at Olmstead Park

Olmstead Place State Park, where this cabin is located, is a 217 acre park featuring a working pioneer farm and hosts tours & fieldtrips year round. Just 4 miles east of Ellensburg, this park offers many activities such as hiking, fishing in Coleman Creek, butter churning and pioneer games for kids.

The bright bold colors of pink, yellow, green & blue, provide the perfect frame for the mostly white cabin structure.

Barn in Late Summer

Nestled on a hillside near Ellensburg, this red barn stores feed for livestock living on the farm while also offering shelter from the weather.

I like the way the sky is mimicked in the fields below representing the vastness this part of the country is lucky to bestow. The soft green wash in the trees foliage suggests the fullness of the season.

Farmer's Market

Many towns and cities around our great big world have farmer's markets. Small outdoor gatherings of farmers and crafts people selling their goods in colorful displays. I often find that people watching can be as much fun as finding that perfect flower arrangement, or a precisely ripened piece of fruit. Farmer's Markets are full of chatter, laughing, and movement. They are a perfect backdrop for artists using many different mediums.
