Rich Evening

When I went out for a walk late this afternoon, I wasn't expecting much in the way of photogenic sights.  Evening was approaching and the partially overcast sky was not very promising.  I was glad to be proven wrong, however.

There was this intense iridescence low in the evening sky;  kind of looks like "The Mark of Zorro";  plus it sure looks like I was risking my neck in the traffic here

Then there was this amazing "winged figure" near the horizon

Oh, and I just happened to be listening to Bach's "Sheep May Safely Graze" on AirPods when I came across this outdoor display^^

Tongue Twister

A SAD AND DAINTY TALE IN NINE SYLLABLES

First, the long version:

"Once upon a time, a lamb wandered away from its mother and its herd and became lost.  It wended its way down a steep incline and eventually found itself in a deep canyon, unable to climb back out.  Fortunately, there was fresh water seeping out of cracks in the cliffs, and delicious grasses and flowers to eat, so the lamb was relatively content to live there in the canyon.  Still, as the lamb grew into a sheep all by itself, now and then it fell into a nostalgic reverie, remembered its mother and its herd, and shed copious tears of longing for its lost former life."


Now, the condensed version:

"Deep dip sheep sips seeps, eats treats, weeps heaps."
