The Final Trip Purchase

We bought this steel sculpture in a gallery in La Conner Washington on the trip and it just recently arrived via UPS. The photo here doesn’t do it justice. The peaks are actually a silvery white, there is deep navy blue water under the trees and the mountains themselves are a greenish brown.  It’s now hanging in our stairway, where we had a huge, blank wall that is nearly impossible to reach without a series of ladders and scaffolds. Mr. Martha and Me got creative with a stepladder and some 2x4s resting on the landing to get up there. I’d rather not remember it, if you don’t mind – I was sure he was going to crash to his death. But it’s up now and we love it because it reminds us of the beauty of the Northwest.
