Skywatch Friday Two views of Roxy Ann Peak. Sunrise Nearly Noon And a Sunset (behind the overhead road signs).  Roxy Ann would be to the left from this intersection. Have a nice weekend.  Our nice spring weather has changed to nights in the 30s again.  Snow on those mountains in the sunset photo.  This weekend the days will be in the upper 70s. 

 April's theme for Thursday Postcard Hunt is Colors of Spring.  This week the color is Pink .  This bull terrier has a lot of p ink!  I got this Postcrossing card from Dirk in Germany. Pink Peonies Peonies are the official state flower of Indiana. Pink Tulips on an antique greeting postcard.  Pink Shell With Seaweed , Georgia O'Keefe, 1937 Next week the color will be Yellow .

 B ird Women (my name for it) is a ink on paper I rescued from the Goodwill Outlet bins.  The photo turned out rather pixel-y, it's really clear and crisp. Read the related B poetry form here . 

 Welcome to Day 1, or Day A , of the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge !  Each day of April, with Sundays off, I'll be posting artwork from my collection A to Z with a few short lines about the work.  The A to Z is either the artist's title, the title I've given it, or in a few cases the subject matter.  I will be posting the same images on my poetry blog, The Versesmith , with an A to Z poetry form.  It's not too late to join in. So, on with the Challenge! The A rtist painted by my father, Winstead D. Smith, 1962.  I didn't know until I was in my 50s, when my brother told me, that this was me! The A poetry form can be found here .
