February sunrise

MORNING - for artwords
This picture was taken last Wednesday, February 14 th. The temperature was - 30 degrees, pretty much the same in centigrade and fahrenheit. I took a few photos after walking about half a block. I don't think my hands could have managed doing any more without my heavy mittens. The next day, Thursday, the temperature rose by almost 30 degrees centigrade from what it had been the day before. People had been waiting anxiously for almost a week for Thursday. Fortunately that time the forecast was accurate.

Funny though, on the Tuesday morning when I took Billy dog for walk I encountered a couple of others out doors. Though the temperature was - 24, the comments were about "what a beautiful day". There was not a wind. The - 24 seemed comparatively warm. We may still have our snow for another six weeks and we could still get a number of blizzards but we'll all be hoping for no more of the frigid temperatures, at least this winter.

Happy morning light to you.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Light of the sun - November 17, 2006 - A day of many photos.

New light was supposed to be a photo with the moon. You can barely see it. I love the picture anyway. It's from our backyard. The streets were too icy to take much time to walk back to an open space.

I took many photos on way to Saskatoon and back. These are some of the images on way back from Saskatoon. I'll share more of the photos in upcoming days.

I'm chomping at the bit to get back to real art. This digital stuff seems more like pretend.

I spoke with my Dad. All went well. He was acting quite typically when I spoke with him. My brother told me the nurses in recovery wanted Dad to stay. He was handing out many compliments. Ah, my Dad - apparently being a "cheeky" old elephant.

Purple Sunrise: AEM - November 13, 2006: I actually did the background this past weekend, on cardstock with stamps and ink pads. The photo is printed on mulberry paper and then stitched on with metallic thread. I'll be doing more of these pieces but will practice tension next time and use some wonder under so as not to get the pillowy effect. Practice, practice.

Got a bit frustrated with transferring to blogger beta. Actually it was OK but a bit uncertain about comments. I had four junky comments all the same on Friday on windyangelsandyou so changed things. I have a feeling I may have messed things for people to comment now. Sigh. Hopefully I can figure it out tomorrow. Some patience together with practice.

I love that I now have labels. Anxious to see if it will connect to my other blog also.
