Art to Inspiration: Charlen Willliamson

Posted on February 6, 2013

Wow, it seems like a long time has passed since I participated in Art to Inspiration, a monthly collaborative blog project, how I’ve missed it! Mr. Forager and I are still in the land of sand and sun, but our time here is finally growing short. This month’s inspiration, In the Mist by Charlen Williamson, has me longing to return to the cool grey of the Pacific Northwest. So it’s only fitting that Williamson’s image inspired me to put together a gallery of black & white photographs Mr. Forager & I have taken from our favorite places in the Northwest. 50 Shades of the Pac NW, if you will.. 😉

    black and white, great minds DO think alike 🙂 I actually have never travelled to northwest part of the US and would love to!

      I think the Northwest is the most beautiful area of the US, but then again, I’m very biased. 😉
