Came home last night from Madera Kubo B&B, after spending all week there at 5500' and having the stove burning every night. We were in cabin 4, one in painting here is cabin 1 above the gift shop. It is 2 stories with a spiral stair case and built by Richard, the co-owner with his wife Cora. It is one of the best birding sites in the state. Also home of the Flame Colored Tanager every spring thru August. I took first photo March, 30th, 2008, also first photo a month later in 2009.
CC's welcome and much appreciated, edited repost welcome too.
Keep smiling

Gus, This is sweet! I love the feel to this one. It has a very quaint old world look. Nice painted effect on this. Looks like a really special place.

Gees Gus, this is amazing. You know its darn good when you want to be there to see it. The effect reminds me of an old one called "Buzz" or something like that. Not sure if its still going to be honest, but it really worked well. This is just drop dead gorgeous in what you have done and of course, the original helps a lot.
All the best Gus....... very, VERY nicely done sir.
