Wow! What an incredibly warm summer we've had in Vancouver. I think it's one of the best summers I can remember. We've had all kinds of wildlife in our backyard - bear, cougar, raccoons, skunk, squirrels, noisy blue jays and crows and so on. I'm working on some ideas for my next set of paintings. I've also just published a website - check it out http://paulinemitchell.homestead.com/. It includes some of my photos.
