Midweek Photo Two: You get fall colors anyway!

 

Not Quite Wordless Wednesday: The Field Behind

  A few weeks ago, we drove to Boom's wedding.
  Google says it's 16 hours drive from here, but, what with my needing to get out every couple of hours, we had a motel for a couple of nights each way.
  This was the 2nd one.

  i spent a half hour sketching the view.  The photos, at the beginning & end of the session, do not show the change of light clearly enough. But it does show clearly how wet the weather was: the bench is on concrete, not in a pond!

Wordless Wednesday: Up in the Clouds

Lesson sheet from a class, maybe 5 years ago, with Laura Tesdahl. It's a different style from the most recent colored pencil pages i've posted.  This is a time consuming realistic style, though i find the simpler use of colors maybe more fun.

Wordless Wednesday: Spring Sign?

i don't know why these things fascinate me!

Wordless Wednesday: Recent Trip

Wordless Wednesday: Two Trips to Cumberland Falls

The earlier trip, right, it looks like i was, quite reasonably, nervous about being perched there.  The later trip, left two photos, i remember thoroughly enjoying myself - and my dad got in trouble with my mom when she came back!

 Hmmm, on looking at this again, i wonder if that WAS Cumberland in the 3rd photo.  The falls are much closer, and the railing is different.  i might think it was Niagara Falls, but i'm pretty sure my trip with MyGuy about 15 years ago was the first i'd been there.

Anyone have any thoughts?  i know my parents were quite the road trippers.

What is this? What's happening here?

Wordless Wednesday:Out and In

This is where our dumpster was.  We're sure the peonies will be back next year, but having a dumpster on them from February to June did a number on them THIS year.

Wordless Wednesday: Grandma's Flowers

Words on Wednesday: Did Agatha Christie write a Bodice-Ripper?

   In last week's Words on Wednesday, i wrote about the late Christie novel Passenger to Frankfort, and observed from the linked articles that it was similar to the early effort The Man in the Brown Suit.

Not Quite Wordless Wednesday: French Cathedral

Chartres Cathedral, 1976, from the edge of town

One of those Photos my friends thought i shouldn't take: One of the gorgeous, famous stained glass windows in the cathedral - not enough detail to determine which

Wordless Wednesday: from my art class

The original photo showed two more arches and interesting branches from teacher Laura's trip to the Alamo.  i snipped the photo and pasted the greenery & branch from other parts of the photo..

Wordless Wednesday: Spring and Road Construction

Boom and i spent two hours stuck here once.

Do we understand each other?
