Bicycling the Bodensee

What can I say: we’ve been absolutely blessed this trip with beautiful weather. Today’s forecast was for thunderstorms and overcast. So I rented a bike and headed out on a 35k ride around the Bodensee Lake near Fussen. About halfway

Castles and Cable Cars, Fussen, Germany

It was raining and chilly this morning. I didn’t pack my watercolors because the forecast called for thunderstorms.  But that didn’t happen. It was a fantastic day with bright blue skies and Big puffy clouds. I sketched this landscape at

Bad Zwischenahn & a 20 minute Rollerball sketch

  The weather was beautiful after all the drizzle from yesterday.  I drank some coffee and watched the sun come up over the lake in Oldenburg. The lake was very still and full of flower pollen. Just wish I had
