Flood warning
I got this phone call the other day from a homeward returning bear.
"just thought you might like to know the river's really high at Goring - some good photographic opportunities"
And he was right. There was Old Father Thames, behaving a bit skittishly among the trees
And a swan and a seagull making ripples on the bank
and the river making fun of people who might have wanted to sit down
and admire the view
And a tree poised above the water.
So since I'm quite without thoughts at the moment, you have water instead.
And then twice last week, there was a really weird glow in the sky after sunset. Sort of brown on one evening and then sort of purple the next. I caught the purple one :)
I wonder what that was all about.
Somebody broke our headlight the other night while we were playing at Pierrot and Beetlejuice so tomorrow I have to go on a headlight repair expedition!
Better start early. Somehow I feel that there may be ordering of parts and long delays!
Goodnight. I hope the sun shines on you tomorrow.

*looking out at the 8" of freshly fallen snow*
Oh, it'll thaw soon enough (not soon enough for me...LOL) and we'll have a big mess. Or....photo opportunities!
See--it's all about perspectives. LOL I'll tell the farmers that when they're flooded out of planting fields. I'm sure they'll agree!
And as for that purple haze--I was wondering where the aliens went off to.....now I know! ;-)
(eerie lookin', but way cool!)
The purple haze is lovely, in a creepy way, but the photo of the chair in the water peaks volumes!( no pun intended!)
I really like that one a great deal!
These Photo's speak quiet well ..
good luck on the headlight search...
I'm sure the farmers would agree that their perspective is different! And all the people whose houses are next to the river!
But I can't help taking advantage :(
Well, I do take advantage whether I could help it or not :)
That's cos I'm bad :)
They do have my sympathy for what it's worth.
Thank you Sorrow :) Headlight success :)
I used to visit Goring quite reguarly
have some lovely photos from the top of some hill near Goring
but I prefer yours of the hellish high water!

(suppose it's Goring-Under-Thames right now!)
Goring has mostly emerged from underwater and I bet your hill was Streatley Hill. It's very high and steep and has VIEWS from the top :)
I'm so pleased you like my wet stuff :)
