Clouds and tree and camera woes, oh my!

A late afternoon trip across town to Sam's, the members only branch of WalMart, presented me with an opportunity to take a few pictures of clouds, something we don't see too often in Kansas.

On the interstate during rush hour, the end of day presented a lovely view of the sun trying to peep through.

As the clouds parted briefly, I snapped this photo through a not so clean windshield.

The lights in the buildings and on the signs were starting to come on, showing how early the sun sets these days.

Although it's been unseasonably warm here, that's not evident from the view from the window.

Looking out the side window, you can see the river has next to nothing in it. Heat and lack of rain have taken a toll on gardens, yards, and now the river.

Once at Sam's, I KNEW I would see something Christmas, and here is the first indication that it will be here sooner than we think!

When I got home, I was going to share some recent trash gifts given me by a friend who is moving, but my camera will NOT TURN ON. I have no idea what is wrong. I have tried everything, but no matter what I do, it simply refuses to play nice. Thankfully, it's not the card, or I would have nothing to show today. And I know it's not the batteries, because I have put three sets in that were right out of the chargers. Hope you had a great weekend and are ready for the week ahead. I'll be beating on my camera to see what I can do with it.

I must be on a fiber artist kick, because I am featuring one two days in a row. Terry Waldron is another fiber artist whose fabric and fiber art will make you smile. Totally different from yesterday's blog pick, Terry appears to have a fondness for nature and many of her pieces reflect that. Be sure to check out Terry's various galleries. They will provide you with some really stunning art that just might inspire you as much as they do me.
