Flowering Tree and Paint

A real quickie from me this week - I'm literally in the middle of painting the security bars on one of my bedroom windows (which open out onto the rooftop patio). I'm throwing this post up quickly while the first coat dries. I just scrubbed a bunch of super-duper rust-covering paint off of my arm, which now burns like hell from the turpentine and I'm really not looking forward to going out there to do the second coat. It does look a whole lot better though I must admit. Hopefully that will encourage me to come back this weekend to paint the other window's bars as well as the matching railing along a lower bench-like section of the roof wall. I wouldn't have started this window all by itself at 9 o'clock at night except that we may be doing a bit of work on the roof which will make it difficult to access later, so it was pretty much now or never.

Duty is calling, in the form of a little white paint can. Onward into the abyss and all that.

Repeating to self: it will look a lot better, it will look a lot better, it will look a lot better...

Oh yeah. The photograph. No, I have no idea what it is. It caught my eye at the festival so I grabbed it, and it was red, so it's this week's Ruby Tuesday shot. Pretty straightforward.
