Fifteen

My titles have become uncreative, but they get the job done. These are skies from an unknown location in Idaho. I collect too many clouds to keep track. These might have been in a sky over my daughter as she was practicing driving, working toward her license. I was taking pictures one day when she was driving in the country. Either way, they are very dramatic I think. Don't worry, she was pulled over at the time.

This is just some weird
cat that my daughter
photofied. You can
probably guess why
she decided to do so.

Here is a lovely side shot, so you can appreciate her even more. She's an odd duck, but she probably doesn't mind the heat since she is basically undressed. Her skin is so strange all mottled like that. Who knew they looked like that underneath?

Okay, I don't have any exciting astronaut stories or anything, but I am on lesson 15 of 18 for sign language, so the end of these hours of drawing is in sight. This has been a fun project and I can't wait to start teaching the course! Our first class is a week from Friday.

We watched a movie smack dab in the middle of the afternoon day before yesterday to give the summer a proper send-off. The film was the newest King Arthur and I loved it. It was set at the same time as the Pendragon Cycle by Stephen Lawhead, and it reminded me of those stories a lot. It seems like the authors must have read some of the same history. For as violent as the thing was, it was not gory. I was very pleased about that. If you are in to those earlier days of the British Isles (Braveheart) you would likely enjoy this one. It is set just as Rome is preparing to withdraw its protection from Britain. Keira Knightly plays Guinevere and she does a great job. PG 13 (check reviews for why) This is Arthur with a twist, not a Camelot story.

We also watched Charade with Audrey Hepburn and a cast of familiar actors. It was enjoyable. Carey Grant was adorable in it. He was the oldest I have seen him in a movie. Neither of these would be good for little kids.
