I was thinkin' of goin' out diggin'. Then when I went outside, I saw this, just now...

There was a weird greenish light outside, which we often get before and after a rainstorm. Can't really describe it.

It's just been very slightly drizzly here, though- no real rain to speak of. Then the clouds started moving and the orange light came. Suddenly everything was bathed in this warm golden color. (It's a horrible cliché, that description, but oh well).

I'd been thinking of going out, perhaps to the old plantation site that's less than a half mile from here, on the other side of the river.

I stepped outside the front door and saw this:

Guess where the other end of that rainbow is.

D'you suppose somebody's trying to give me a hint? image



I think I have my new sigline picture, at the very least.

The last time we had this weird light, it got all orangey, and I shot one of my past favorite sigline pictures, in the backyard:

  • Those are some nice shots. There could have been something really nice at the end of that rainbow.

    THIS is the site that's at the end of that rainbow.

    It's been very productive for my friend Billy, but not so much for me. I did get my last silver coin there. (Only my second silver this year).

    Here's goes Billy, diggin' a Spanish half-real, a 1798 large cent, a couple of other large cents, an 1864 2c piece, a nickel three cent piece, 1829 and 1834 half dimes, several Shield nickels, and an 1854-O Seated dime...

    ... and I got only one silver dime. And it was a Mercury. Oh, well. It was a nice, early Merc, at least. Made me happy. But I sure wish I could find some of the sorta stuff Billy has. The site is mostly overgrown, now- everything they cleared this summer is now a thicket. Only the road remains clear enough to walk around on, just as it was before they started clearing. A lot of Billy's finds were made in the road, though, before they cleared, so there is still hope.

    BentFork PM'ed me this one. It's frighteningly close to reality.
