Once upon a time… a couple weeks ago, actually, I hiked up the ridge line that connects Arlington Peak, Cathedral Peak and La Cumbre Peak. Some call this sandstone formation the Dragon’s Back. Just use your imagination when looking at these mountains from town and you’ll catch of glimpse of him breathing fire and challenging knights. (I’ll include a past painting below of Arlington Peak from town.) The bee in the sage garden on the top of the peak encouraged me to include her in the painting and suggested this title. The title, I think, would fit just as well on an old-fashioned fable that begins “Once upon a time…”
