Gorgeous! What fantastic views. Love the flowers. 

[Ryrin]

I love the flowers too. We had such a good time!

Thinking about making a “Fall Chitter Chatter” but it’s going to be 109F here tomorrow.

[LadyWordsmith]

? They keep telling us we had a cold front this past week. We did. The temps stayed in the 90s instead of breaking the 100s again. In theory next weeks MIGHT Pull us into the low 90s. If we're really lucky we might get a brief high 80s. Which is glorious but unseasonably cold for us this time of year. (Not that I will complain at ALL). 

[LilyElizabeth]

Those are beautiful, Ryrin. I'm sorry you hurt your back. 

[Ryrin]

I get you, Lady. I’m leaving our summer Chitter Chatter up for the time being. 
 

Lily, thank you. I was really scared about my back.

Fantastic pics, Ryrin. My wife and I drove through that area (sheesh) twenty-five years ago, and they look familiar.

 

The Autumnal Equinox isn't for another two weeks, so it's still summer in my book. Although we've left the one-hundred-degree days behind, thank goodness.

 

Next month I'll be entering three of my paintings in a Fine Art show. 

[LilyElizabeth]

How exciting, James! The art show, I mean.

 

I can't wait to leave the hundred degree days behind. Maybe this week will be the last of it.

Have a great time at the art show! 

We have been informed that our 90s-100s will be interrupted by glorious highs in the low 70s later this week per a very strong cold front. I desperately hope so! 

[Ryrin]

Glad to hear someone may get cool weather! Lol. We were supposed to get 108F today but it’s not that hot.

 

James, that is exciting about your art being shown!!!

[JamesBrown]

Thanks. This is one of my pieces I'll be showing, that I finished last week.

 

 

 

Transcendence

Acrylic on Canvas

I also finished a pair of small pieces which will be offered as fund-raisers. Both Untitled, 6" x 6":

 

 

 

[Ryrin]

Those are wild!!! Love them.

[LilyElizabeth]

James, those are so good! I especially like.... wait, I like all three a lot!

[JamesBrown]

Thank you both. I look at them and see nothing but flaws and mistakes. But that's just me. Despite the flaws, I'm glad I made them. I just finished my last piece intended for the art show, and I'll post it here soon.

There is a lot of smoke here. I’m watching TV and they have this running thing at the bottom of the screen for people who need to evacuate. One channel said they may go offline. I can’t get away from that

Ah humans.. We will forever be our own worst critics, you are not alone in that!

I love you're pictures, I'm not the one looking at art and seeing all sort of stuff in them, It's more about the feelings they give me.. ? can't wait to see the last one, and good luck on the art show!

What the...what is going on? Are you ok?

[Ryrin]

Yes, just had to stay inside. Wildfires in California. The air has gotten better recently.

 

I'm going to post a Fall Chitter Chatter on 10/1 !!!!

That looks delicious! I will admit one of the first thing I searched about our new area is the nearest farmer's market. ? I haven't decided what we want to try growing at the new place. Figure I have until a little later in the fall to figure out some of it.
