Day One Hundred Ninety One 2012

Awesome sunset over the Wal-Mart parking lot this evening. There was no escaping the light poles, unfortunately. Don’t they look like those long-necked, bug-eyed aliens in ‘War Of The Worlds’? Hope your Monday had a silver lining.

Day Thirty Seven 2012

I did not err; there does a sable cloud
Turn forth her silver lining on the night,
And casts a gleam over this tufted grove.

~John Milton coined the phrase 'silver lining' in Comus: A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634

Day Seventy Seven 2011

Winter says goodbye, and I say good riddance! The last day of winter offered up almost 80 degree temperatures and a breathtaking sunset that my little cell phone camera just could not do justice. I wish I had been on some vista at this moment, high above all the clutter of this town which is so hard to escape, especially when you're trying to take a picture of a beautiful sky. I hope you can see the silver lining. So long, Winter! Happy TGIF, y'all!

P.S.~~I'm getting ahead of myself~~today is the NEXT to last day of winter and tomorrow will be winter's last hurrah. Sunday is first day of Spring! I guess I'm anxious to get rid of winter and so ready for a more colorful world :)
