Linus sees the stoning of Stephen, "with the Apostle Paul down there on the right," as well as the profile of Thomas Eakins, "the great 19th-century American portrait painter and sculptor."<BR/><BR/>Charlie Brown sighs and says, "I was going to say I saw a duckie and a horsie, but I changed my mind."<BR/><BR/>And yes, I Googled the dialogue. <BR/><BR/>FANTABULOUS PHOTO MY FINE FARAWAY FRIEND!

The sky was very dark and the lighting not ideal, but still I'm OK with it.<BR/><BR/>MMM - Are you sure you don't teach poetry and/or art? Also, I've been waiting on those magic beans for some time now. At a minimum, can you bring some to blog fest?<BR/><BR/>MPM - I had one foot out of the car, two hands on a camera and felt a move forwards. After a panic attack, a scream and a few choice words, I put the other foot on the brake and then found the emergency brake. I was too engrossed in this scene to pay attention to small details such as preventing my Saturn from plunging into the Piankatank River.<BR/><BR/>Daryl, you have my deepest sympathies but hopefully dinner tonight will cheer you up. If it were me, I'd be a basket case by now. No root canals for me,no can do. <BR/><BR/>GJ - You are right, that's very unusual for you. Glad you're OK (and glad those turkey buzzards didn't attack when you were taking pics the other day). <BR/><BR/>Meg - I am so glad you get something other than a nap by coming over here (I put myself to sleep, in fact I'm doing it right now). Looking forward to hearing more about your uncle.<BR/><BR/>In other news, Annie, Big Hair Envy, Mental P. Mama and Daryl are all convening in NYC tonight for dinner. Can't wait to hear the reports tomorrow....Chesapeake Bay Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187804072769932131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-82986692228030750252009-04-06T13:47:00.000-04:002009-04-06T13:47:00.000-04:00I love all the photos you post of the dilapidated ...I love all the photos you post of the dilapidated and weather-worn buildings that dot the landscape in your surroundings... they kind of remind me of my artist uncle's paintings, which make me feel wistful and melancholy.<BR/><BR/>When I need blog inspiration, I visit CBW's site and - Eureka! - it occurs to me what I need to write about next.

Preconceived expectations about the "forms" are challenged. For example, the roof of the building is not a flat surface and the flowers are not upright - the evidence of wind and harsh weather is everywhere. The trunk of the tree to the right and the branches fanning out above the shed, while not unexpected, add to the energy. The variations of gray in the sky add energy as well. The low angle at which the picture was taken add to the weight of all the forms. The complementary red and green somehow contribute as well.<BR/><BR/>You've captured a moment, CBW; but, if you don't see it yourself, let me know and I'll send you some coffee beans.mmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17055514234118779559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-88637899060726576302009-04-06T08:40:00.000-04:002009-04-06T08:40:00.000-04:00Just love your photo and your philosophy!And I sur...Just love your photo and your philosophy!<BR/>And I sure hope that nobody was injured or any calamity happened during thee taking of said photo!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698343129217681652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-64361196779115443412009-04-06T06:18:00.000-04:002009-04-06T06:18:00.000-04:00beautiful isn't the right word for the shed (and I...beautiful isn't the right word for the shed (and I haven't had my cup of brain jolt yet...lol!)...but it is a beautifully shot picture!<BR/><BR/>I so enjoy your site!<BR/><BR/>Tracey<BR/><BR/>picturethis-tlh.blogspot.comThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935595857109815870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-11328739831766119852009-04-06T00:28:00.000-04:002009-04-06T00:28:00.000-04:00Well, all I see is a really good photograph.
