Miss Potter

I have no great philosophical verities for the world this evening. Some days are like that. Sigh.......

We did have lots of thunder this afternoon. But it wound up being "big noise on staircase, no one come down". Although some parts of the area got 2-3" of rain, we got maybe 0.1" of drizzle at our house. It did cool things off somewhat, though.

We watched two movies tonight - or at least I did. John watched Catch Me If You Can with me. It's a 2002 movie based on the true story of the con man, Frank Abagnale. It's a fun movie with good performances by Leonardo diCaprio and Tom Hanks. We saw it in a theater when it first came out, and we were very impressed with the opening graphics/animation with the credits. Happily, the opening was as good as we had remembered.

The second movie was a prize. A friend rented it and passed it along to some others. Miss Potter (2006) is the story of Beatrix Potter and her writing of the Peter Rabbit stories. Renee Zellweger is delightful as Miss Potter. The cinematography and scenery are as charming as her drawings in her stories. Give this one a look.

Today's picture is from our morning at Valley of the Gods.
