Cat curled on my lap
Scritch behind ears to start purr
Stop scritching; no purr
Redwing blackbirds fly.
A riot of black and red
swoops past my window.
This photo was shot by an old HS friend, Billy Kurtz (the © might be cut off if your monitor resolution is below 1200dpi). It was taken Halloween evening 2009 at Watts Bar Lake. Of course it’s cropped and the resolution is low (it’s from FaceBook), but I like the soft edges, actually.
So, until I can think up a new theme for the site, we can enjoy Billy’s lovely shot. Thanks for allowing me to alter it and use it here, Billy!
If you have a theme suggestion, give it to me. I’m having theme block! And no decent fall or winter pix, either. :-/
I hung Stormy’s piece a while back and today finally got around to hanging the wisteria piece. I’m very pleased with how it looks! I love working with old windows. I need to do some art very soon. Until then, I guess it’s Shrinky Dinks and maybe lino blocks! Buttons need to happen for the Weasel, but the button maker is pricey ($250 ish). Guess I could do some magnets… Well, whatevs, here’s the lovely art on my front porch!
