Sometimes I enjoy looking back through my pictures and revisiting scenes from past years. These pictures were taken in April/May 2013 when I drove to Washington State to take a class with Joan Schulze at the Pacific Northwest Art School in Coupeville on Whidby Island. It was an enchanting trip and the class was terrific. Unfortunately it was the last class that Joan taught before she retired from teaching (but she is still making quilts). I visited friends along the way and drove some byways to see the landscape and the gorgeous spring flowers. Wish I could do this exact trip all over again, but then I do have all the pictures and wonderful memories.
