that blue is amazing. and the blue sky--a welcome sight. is that a chicken running around under the cloth?
ReplyDeleteI read your comment and wondered, "What?" ... then laughed when I realized our rusted metal roadrunner sculpture had made it into the picture. See above for a better view.
DeleteBeautiful results Liz...and beautiful weather. What great colors you got!
ReplyDeleteThanks much ... I'm trying to let go of preconceived notions and letting the cloth tell me what it wants to be
Deletewhat a blue!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Marti for the recipe!
Deletewell, YES, the BLUE, but if you turn the mountain pink the other way, what a great
ReplyDeletelandscape with SUN FILLED sky it might be....these are GREAT! and a week of
Sun with no rain, what seed will sprout all over your Place....how all that Rain will
transform the land, i am waiting to see
Well, a week of sun is still a dream waiting to happen. Another 3.5 inches of rain yesterday ...
