Friday Finds: Natural Abstractions

10 Aug

As you may recall, Mr. Forager and I recently returned from a long camping trip in Glacier National Park and Yellowstone ( and we threw in the Lewis & Clark Caverns on the way home ‘cuz we weren’t nearly exhausted enough already ).  We both love the outdoors and as I told Christina Baker in our Artist Takeover interview, I find the natural world to be incredibly inspiring in its artistry.  I thought you might enjoy a few of examples of nature’s artsiness I found while traversing through two of the US’s most beautiful places!

Isn’t nature the most incredible abstract artist?  What are some of your favorite natural abstractions?

      We can’t wait to go back to either park! Such vastly different experiences, each amazing and beautiful in their own fashion.

      Thanks so much! Photo editing programs can make even point & shoot photos look fairly good.😉

      Thanks, Leah! We reached that mountain after a hard 10 mile hike. I was really happy to be treated to such beauty once we arrived!
