portrait of an afternoon in may



I was on the front porch earlier, enjoying the horses snorting and the sunshine. As I turned to come in the house, this caught my eye. A magical painting of the same scene I'd just been viewing.

  4. Thank you, Mamie. I have gotten a lot of mileage out of my digital camera, even though I still prefer my old Nikon FM and film. One day I'm going to get my huge case of old negatives out and go down to the rent-a-darkroom space and make one big portfolio of all my prints. A retrospective. :)

    (why oh why did I give my darkroom equipment away when I moved back from California???)

  5. That is a nice view. Whew, glad you are okay in regards to the twister! I am glad we don't have those. For some reason I have always had a strong fear of them! That movie was really good.

  6. Pony Girl, I remember the flying cow from the movie and had images of flying horses and donkeys in my head when the wind became strong.

    Fortunately it did not last long!
