A storm blew through last night, and there were some amazing clouds in the afternoon. Of course, the sun is setting at 4:30 already - hard to get used to!
This big black cloud was visible from everywhere, prompting me to go to the beach where I could really see the sky.
As the sun went down, the cloud shifted, and the light glowed on the edges.
The leading edge of the cloud picked up some of the light, too.

Art day was at Carol's today - and EVERYONE showed up, even a guest! Clockwise from lower left: Audrey, Mary ann, Suze, Jamie, Andy, Carol and Janet. Suze is headed back to FLA tomorrow, so it will be a while before she's back with us. Mary ann will hopefully be able to come often!
Carol shows her caricature quilt.

The birch leaves are perfect right now, especially with the sun shining on them.
Later, it rained, the wet roadway reflecting the traffic lights.

It gets dark so early, and it rained all day today. I had a class, and the leaves on the sidewalk caught my eye.
The building's lights cast a yellow glow over this birch tree, with the last vestiges of the sunset fading on the horizon.

Well, I finally got caught up on my Photo-A-Day - I have added the photos from the days that I was in Ohio, so go back and check them out!

A new project - "FLOW" - a pin made with a combination of inspirations. The fine wire twining is a technique learned from Marilyn Moore, and the pin and flattened ends ideas are from Mary Hettmansperger.

The Whidbey Weaver's Guild sale was yesterday and today - I had a shift as cashier, so go to see all the beautiful items that were sold! There was a great turnout, and it looked like sales were high. Above, the Greenbank barn is reflected in the duck pond.
The adjacent wetlands sported a whole flock of great blue herons - several line the edge of this pond.
The farm from up on the hill top.
Handwoven scarves at the sale.
The pink table. The items were arranged on tables according to color - it looked great!
