This is for the July Monochrome challenge to use green. I was originally going to do a Christmas baking LO for this challenge, but it didn't look right to me. Then, I came across this pic from Lake Tahoe and it worked really nicely with the greens! I didn't do much to it -- just cut up strips of green PP and stuck them on the page -- but it works for me. I was in a "git er done" sort of mood when I put this together, so there was not a lot of time spent on technique, or waiting for things to dry. :/

This sort of covers the VLB challenge to use an "older" photo -- it's from 2004, so it's not quite 10 years old. I used to be very involved with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team In Training program. My mom had Leukemia, so being a part of the team, and training for century (100 mi) bike rides was a way of life for me back then. It was a very special time -- I actually found this photo and thought, dang, I climbed that switchback, about 11 miles in! That was not fun, esp. being from Illinois, but it was gorgeous.

Sketch is loosely based on one in SBE.
