Tuesday Treat

I'm afraid that this evening at the computer must be spent on Company Business. Therefore, I am rescued from the requirement to think of something pithy to say - that's "pithy", NOT "pissy". Because if you know anything about me, you know that I don't get pissy. Most of the time. Anyway, I found this pretty picture I thought I would share with you. It was taken last July on my friend's farm, near Fort Dodge, Iowa. Janet was getting the goats into the barn and I didn't have anything better to do, so I turned around and saw this:

I actually lived in Fort Dodge for about a month and a half with my aunt years ago.

Nice picture, Lou. Thanks for sharing.

Christy said...

It's pretty. Would you call that a red sky at night?

Sailor's delight?

(Hey, they call me that too....)

What a great piece of art. I love the way the trees outline against the sky. My eyes were drawn to the trees first, their black shadow making such an interesting pattern against the lighter sky. I bet if you took that picture and enlarged it and put it in an old wood window frame, you would have something really nice to look at. Oh, I am such a decorator! : )

Aw Lou, but pissy is so fun to read most of the time.

I'm also a fan of catty and gossipy.

What's wrong with being pissy? ;)

Love this sunset shot. Such gorgeous skies.

That sky is screaming to be replicated on your canvas.

The colors are beautiful.

audubon ron: Thank you.

Rebecca: Yes?

warriorwoman: Clouds on fire. If I paint it, that's what I'll call it.

elizabeth: Why, thank you, ma'am.

employee: you're so very welcome.

christy: I would have thought, "a sailor's warning".

moneythoughts: Thanks, Fred. Most people don't think of photographs as Art.

maggies mind: Thank you.

shadow: I'll try not to.

witchypoo: Why, thank you, too, ma'am.

alice: you're really a doll at heart. I was going to say 'pussy cat', but given the general tenor of my comments, some people might take that the wrong way.

Sandy: You wouldn't know - because you're NEVER.

hyphen mama: I'v been thinking about that.

alice: I have no idea where that came from.

myst 72: Can you see me? Is the web cam on?

Great shot Lou! And you should definitely paint it, though I know you didn't ask our opinion on it.
