I had a rather lovely experience on our drive home from Iowa. I was listening to this song (
Turned to Real Life by Shiny Toy Guns - You Tube link) and as I listened, I noticed that the sky was an incredible parfait of pink, purple and blue. Like the toys I played with as a child, like princesses who sneak out of the castle and dance their satin slippers to mere strips, like cotton candy and airbrush paintings at the Fair.
"Now i'm glowing
Like a sunset
In the window
Of my dreams
That turned to real life
I'll never forget when
For the first time
A girl in a fantasy
Turned to real life"
The photo was taken on our way down, so I tweaked the frame as close as I could to the colors I saw. We had quite a few warm days down there, so a lot of the snow had melted in the fields. The rich, black soil was spotted with large patches of white. The animals seemed a bit happier as well!
