They are using violet silk taffeta, to match the sky.

I came in somewhere between torch and jazz. Laurie too when she was in town. We were part of Austin Singers Unlimited and gathered on Wednesdays to entertain ourselves and anyone who wanted to listen while having dinner or just for the free entertainment. Sometimes we had a quartet, but always, Sandy, our very talented piano player. We also did benefits. But as fate would have it, we lost Sandy and we lost our venue but we had about ten good years to remember.Dixie Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591688785324214877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-83672246659427915992009-02-06T06:49:00.000-08:002009-02-06T06:49:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dixie Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591688785324214877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-54266492565869084482009-02-06T06:26:00.000-08:002009-02-06T06:26:00.000-08:00the image jumped out of the portal - a house with ...the image jumped out of the portal - a house with eyes!

The hint of mid tones against the dark night with those two glowing windows made me almost think of the witch's house. Not scary, just a witchy lady, labeled so because she has lots of cats and mumbles to herself as she works in her scraggly garden. She is kind to strangers on the street, although they pass her by thinking she is "eccentric and weird." It has a warm feeling. I'm sure my take is totally off than what anyone else will see, but your images conjure up immediate stories to me. I hope she's reading a wonderful book by the lights in the upstairs room.
