i have been complaining
of the winter
and the dreary.
this morning
just past sunrise
my driveway
swathed in
the inside of a shell
or a cecropia
swimming in blushing air
until it changed
this afternoon
these clouds
like tapestry
ushered in the
weather change
there was a bit of ice
on the drainage
and one calf.
i asked where is the other?
in the freezer, he replied.

Amazing photos! Those skies, both the colors and then the clouds, stunning. If I painted clouds like that, people would tell me they didn't look real. I get that a lot... and I reply - have you LOOKED at skies a lot?
valerie, i live on a hilltop, and it's great for looking up!
best view in the house: upstairs bathroom!
i've noticed on these colder days it is clearer and at sunset the tops of the trees are painted pink, orange sometimes red. without the leaves the color is picked up ever so differently by the trees...the city doesn't allow for too much appreciation of the natural world but there is this little offereing. I hope he's not in the freezer - i'd hope the fellow was in the "out house" or camera shy.
henrietta, these are "beefers", beef cattle. the farmer told me with pride that this one is growing well, too. a garden of sorts, i suppose.
love the way that light falls through down and into all the tree brambles. you have a graceful eye
Beautiful
that sky! the colour and the bare branches and the ribbons of cloud, spectacular. I was never a good farmer's wife.
love the pages and the blanket stitch. will have to investigate the book technique. thanks for letting us watch the book become...

V - that sky is like a daylight gift of the northern lights in a way; and those clouds are threaded...simple beauty!
kathy, skies to remind us
fiona, daylight aurora
V-beautiful pinks and greys. We actually saw fragments of a sunset in NY today. Great to share with you. B
b, wish i could have made it down to the city
The pink is magical! Great series of posts here, Velma. Storytelling through images and poetical words. Thank you for sharing.
I say ditto to all these comments about your beautiful sky photos. I really like the pink morning you enjoyed...and then those wispy rolling afternoon clouds came along.
An artist like you notices these things. Thanks for sharing.
maggie, that's very kind, being inside that pink was amazing!
judy, it's all the sky, really
one freezing cold, one in the freezer. it's this aspect of farming i'm daily becoming less reconciled to! lovely images though...
thanks. yes, it's hard for me, too.
Some gorgeous photos here, Velma.
thank you, morna
