For those of you that don't know the origin of Silly Tuesday here is a bit if a run down....It started on this day. My thoughts were as follows......
Monday is the start of the week...
Wednesday is the middle of the week.....
Thursday is nearly Friday and Friday is the start of the weekend:-)
I know some people work weekends as I am one of them:-)
But its still the weekend BUT......
What is Tuesday???? Its just a Silly Day that means nothing....so thats where ST came from:-)

MrsAmber from United Kingdom

Interesting result. Of course the original probably wasn't a sow's ear in the first place so that helps. Interesting! Hope you've 'been away good' and not 'been away bad'...whatever...nice you're back and roll on Silly Tuesday tomorrow!

13 Apr 2009 9:32am

@MrsAmber: Thank you MrsA! The original wasn't bad I suppose:-) I've just been away, having time out not bad but good....time to chill is sometimes needed:-) Thanks hon:-)

grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom

Perfect timing on the sun. Like the way the glow is eating in to the horizon. A tad over sharpened for my taste though.

Wow! it's an oil painting. Knew you has a a rangey camera but didn't know it could actually hold brushes etc. Whatever the medium this is an excellent result. Forgive the old honourable, it is a great composition.
