~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It has been a fun week for the Poppytalk Gang as we celebrate summer colours week.  I have had a great time making new work especially for the occasion and including a few recent pictures from my back catalogue too.  Halcyon Days was a quick something I knocked up for Mondays Pink theme.  It has turned out to be something of an unexpected hit as it was selected to be an Utata Front Page this week.  What a lovely surprise :)

Crepuscular Rays

Spotlight by Jo Bradford

...

It is interesting that the Ancient Greeks believed that sunbeams drew water into the sky (an early description of evaporation) and so they called this phenomena sun drawing water. Looking at this picture I took recently, you can see why they might have thought that!

These sunbeams are technically called Crepuscular rays. Rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from a single point in the sky. These rays stream through gaps in clouds the columns of sunlit air are separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. The name comes from their frequent occurrences during crepuscular hours (those around dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious.

A World Where Dreams Are Real

A World Where Dreams Are Real by Jo Bradford

On my way home on Friday, I pulled over my car to make this picture, thinking all the while that it was the embodiment of those song lyrics from lod faves of mine, The Cure...

Enjoy.

"I lift my lips from kissing you

To touch the wind that whispers through

This twilight garden turns into

A world where dreams are real"

~This Twilight Garden - The Cure~
