As I'm looking at your pictures this morning I happen to be hearing a train whistle tooting in the background here at home. It is making me itchy to take a trip. I really, really enjoy traveling by train.
I just adore trains and your photos are wonderful. We are near 2 train routes, one on either side of the river and I love to watch them pass by. I always thought it would be really cool to do a photo journal of the graffiti that gets painted on boxcars. Happy Sunday!
Love the photos of your old trains Elizabeth. I really like the colours, they dont make these beautiful muted vintage colours any more, or may be they never did and its just age that has created these shades. Anyway rust with green is a great colour colour scheme. Thanks for sharing. xx

Bleubeard and I welcome you
Art, including the journey, background techniques, sewing on both paper and fabric, new experiments, photos, failures, and successes will be shared on this site. I have removed my e-mail address until such time as I can get it to work again. Thank you for understanding. You can always leave a note on my blog and I will visit you.
Please check out my Previous Collaborations link above to see what projects I have been involved in over the past 12 years. Current and ongoing projects only are shown below.
Occasionally, Silent Sunday will showcase photos of my home, neighborhood, or community. A picture is often worth a thousand words.
Feelfree to drop by every second Thursday of the month for my Second Thursday Tutorials. They are interspersed with my other Tutorials found at the link page above.
Click on any lesson you might have missed or want to review
Click on the above image daily and help feed hungry dogs and cats. You can donate cat litter, too. You simply answer two questions (one about cats and one about dogs), and whether your answer is correct or not, you have just donated kibble to help feed both shelter animals and those in need.
I will create the art, critique things I feel are important, and put pen (and sometimes glue) to paper, or fingers to keys, while Bleubeard will mostly watch, supervise, or sleep.
