Courtyard Garden Sunset

The skies lit up at sunset yesterday. Cerise, navy, pink, orange, red, apricot -- the colors spilled across the horizon and tinted the landscape in a brilliant show of our solar system's power.

Here's a view taken from the courtyard garden at Graywood Farm. You can see the outline of the white picket fence across the lower line of the photo.

The large spreading tree on the left is a locust that Ed thinks we'll have to cut back this coming summer. It's branching system now spreads from across the driveway to touch the roofline of the farmhouse.

The tree right next to it in the photo is the big black walnut that I've written about before. Both trees were inky etchings in the artwork of yesterday's evening skies.
