Telluride Yoga Festival

Telluride Yoga Festival | July 11-14th, 2013 | MarlaMeridith.com

Yoga.ahhhhh.

When I discovered this meditative exercise a decade ago I was sold immediately. Whether you are looking for restorative, hard core, insightful or a dang good sweaty workout….yoga might just be your thing too. If it isn’t all ready.

Last summer I attended the Telluride Yoga Festival. It is coming up around the bend. What could be better than our majestic mountains & yoga?!

ColorFresh { Rockfish }

Happy Sunday! It’s been a long while since I shared a ColorFresh color palette…so here it is! I took this photo last September on my press trip to Sitka, Alaska. Wow was that a great trip! This beautiful Rockfish was caught on one of our many sea outings.

You can see more about this palette on COLOURlovers and check out my Rockfish Pinterest board too.

Have a GREAT day!

Berries

Kids Chopped Vegetable Salad

Sometimes you walk in the house and your 6 & 9 year old kiddos have complete control of everything. Or they think they do.

See the other day I walked in from fly fishing lessons. Was a typical Sunday except for the fact that ALL of my knives were out. There was broccoli & cauliflower everywhere. Knives everywhere. Fingers were fine...thank goodness. Apparently they took it on themselves to prepare dinner while their dad was fixing sprinklers outside.

Not cookies for dinner. A very healthy…..Vegetable Salad.
