Mrs. A and June have it. I was trying to capture a moonrise and it needed a longer exposure than I could hold the camera steady for. When I saw the picture on my computer screen, I almost deleted it. Then I noticed how the green squiggle (security lights in the distance) looked like some weird calligraphic writing and I rotated the picture counterclockwise and added a title ... and there you are -- modern art! :-)

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.
There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Hahaha, that looks like what I get, when I try to get shots of the moon!
An inebriated firefly?
A redlight turning yellow-??

Looks like a 'happy accident' to me, Vicki.
No idea! I look forward to seeing the answer.
hahaha victoria...nice...a torch?
It looks like the squashy-tangerine moon that I saw sitting on the western horizon yesterday at about 3am.
LOVE a mystery.
The sunset? Whatever it is, it's lovely!
Sunset?

Good save, Vicki! It's a different kind of moonshine, but it still has a kick to it.
I don't know-but I love the pic!
(the book review below is good too-more to add to my list)
