the day’s end

Written by patty on August 28th, 2008

Are you familiar with the book The Day The Babies Crawled Away by Peggy Rathman? If you have little ones, it’s worth checking out. The artist / author did all of the artwork in silhouette against a fiery sunset . Let’s just say she’s a better artist than I will ever be, but I sure had fun trying.

    I wrote a poem about sunsets once, it won me some money…YAY for brilliant sunsets and all the inspiration they provide. Your photos are magnificent!

    What beautiful photos! I love that brief moment of the evening.

    And we LOVE that book at our house. It’s got a permanent home in my youngest son’s bookcase, and we read it often!

    Thanks for visiting my blog, and for your comments. I’ve been remiss in getting over to thank people, but please know I appreciate you giving a bit of your time to my ramblings!

    CO, thanks. I love dusk too. I also love the peacefulness that accompanies being 30 yards away from my children.

    FC and Lynn, thanks! Lynn, I recognize you from MM’s place.

    Sarah, you are right – I am at peace. For the first time in a looooong time.

    FADKOG, no apologies necessary. I visit your blog because you’re FUNNY.

    Ms Picket, I hear you. I am just a few miles away, and I am wistful too! That second photo will be finding its way into a frame at the House of WingDangDoo.
