Some days are better than others. I make a mistakes occasionally. Any errors will be corrected ASAP.

A Bonanza--Morning Light

Am getting a late start writing this morning since I froze my butt off waiting to catch the sun on the mountains.

Saw these two images while waiting for sunshine.

Then, the sun arrived:

Dancing Willow

Yesterday when I came home from town, this young willow was stretching and bending gently to the right. The branches were leaning in unison--an autum ballet.

After seeing the willow, I hurried inside to write:

Soft breeze

Young willow

Dances.

Today, late afternnoon...I ran, camera in hand, to catch the willow in yellow. Soon the costume will be gone.

Soft breeze
Young willow
Dances.

Where Are My Crayons?

Looking at yesterday's creation, FROST FRAKTUR, I want to grab my crayons, pens, ink and watercolors. Such fun it could be tinting it with a variety of hues and techniques. The older I get the more I revert to childhood pleasures. I long for a coloring book filled with detailed images. Perhaps I will make one. We have an old encyclopedia filled with etchings and drawings done in the early 1900s and I find these treasures tempting. They are calling out to me to do something with them. A coloring book in the making?

Sometimes I get the urge to draw and paint again too. Well? Hmmmm... Winter is just around the corner. Hooray, time to play.

Oh, just noticed something...Do any of you see the eye (person) looking out from behind the frost? That's a pleasant surprise. Actually, there are several eyes (and other things) hiding in there.

Have been playing with abstract image of Yesterday Updated. Bob says it looks like frost on a window.
