We ran around this morn in Terre Haute...at the time we came home, I just did not want to go in another store...much less a Super Walmart. Yet, this evening, I got to thinking I would like to go and get it done and not have to go tomorrow or the next day...so Roger said he was willing...
The sky was wonderful....so we decided to do a little cloud/sunset chasing on the way.
You might have to enlarge this to see the moon peeping out.
so this was in the east....(and it is East of the sun)
And there was the wonderful sunset, that is West of the moon...
but not until I was going through the pictures and seen this particular shot of the awesome cloud did I think of that old fairytale,
East of the Sun and West of the Moon.
That was my favorite fairytale of all time when I was a child. I read it more than any other. And a couple years ago, my sister-in-law/BFF got me a copy of it. Now I read it to Lorelei sometimes when she is here.
Just wondering, what is the childhood story that sticks in your mind. This is not the only one for me...I just happened to have an old schoolbook that had it in it.
I loved The Little Red Hen, The Little Engine that Could, plus one or two that I don't recall their title. And my favorite poem of all time when I was little was Little Boy Blue!
that sunset is spectacular! and so is that funny puffy cloud. i have not heard of this fairy tale. i had Grimm's book of fairy tales. i loved Cinderella above all others and Snow white and Rapunzel were next in line.. and i love the Little Red hen because she is ME
ReplyDeleteThe Little Engine That Could was my son's favorite. If I had a nickel for every time I read it to him, I'd be a wealthy man.
ReplyDeleteYou made good use of the trip to get some fine clouds and sun pictures. That thunderhead is awesome and it speaks to updrafts and violent winds inside.
ReplyDeleteThose are some magnificent sky pics!
ReplyDeleteLove the sunset. They are always my fav.
I remember all those stories too! Read them to my son! Lol. Funny.

That cloud is spectacular, and so is the moon! And a gorgeous yellow sunset. My favorite was Little Boy Blue, the one where the little boy dies...do I have the right name? But I cried whenever someone read it to me.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite fairy tale was "Elsie Piddock Skips in her Sleep" by Eleanor Farjeon, who also happened to write the lyrics for "Morning Has Broken".
WOW! The sky was gorgeous! I think it was a great evening to go to Walmart. ;))
ReplyDeleteYour title brings a lovely song to mind, and each capture you've posted is just simply perfect!
ReplyDeleteI think that cloud is the North Wind.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sky photos and lovely photos.The Little Engine that could was a favorite of my son. Have a happy weekend.. BTW, You should link this post up to the Skywatch Friday Meme.
ReplyDeleteLove the cloud shots and I do see the Moon peeking out. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteI liked all those stories too. My favorite one--can't remember the name right now---but it was about a pup who got sruck under the fence because he liked to get out and explore. I can see the pic on the front of the book. It was a Little Golden Book. I used to have a zillion LGBs I read to my girls. And I loved Robert Louis Stevenson poetry specially The Swing.
I could go on because I love to read and I love books and hope I instilled that in my children.
