Frames

Frames hold nature best. A shafting of light sifts gray marsh and water-- turning past dim hills of hay solemn in silence. An essence of earthworms fill the air as light seeps through a colander of clouds, catching the ephemeral cattle in a vase of sun. How gentle is the hand that lightly places and is gone as evening rings clear and cool like the edge of a wine glass.

Always thought Wyeth was the best at framing nature and you've got me thinking of his painting with this write ... smile ... wonderful music here and a well-deserved selection to be a feature this week. Congratulations, Glen.
