    What a lovely Degas! He captured the ballet world so well. I really enjoy your takes on TT, Betsy!

    I love Degas! My family and I saw a Degas exhibit in New Orleans when I was a girl. It was fantastic!

    I had a reproduction of that painting hanging in my bedroom when I was a little girl - probably explains my attraction to the impressionists!

    nice take on TT

    Christine ~ hi...yes, I've seen the wrens! They're in the back of our property in the pine trees. I was back there picking raspberries and could see them...they've filled out with feathers and are looking a bit more grown up. So fun!

    Hi! Betsy,
    Thanks, for sharing!...The picture of one of my favorite artist painting(s)...Edgar Degas' Prima Ballerina Taking A Bow.

    All the words that you used to spell out the word stage is all you need to set the stage.

    Thanks, for sharing!

    Sweet! Degas is one of my favourites. There was an exhibition here in the summer, simply breathtaking.

    Betsy said,"You know, I don't think I've ever seen this oldie!"

    Hi! Betsy,
    I placed that (The Univited) post in draft, but I just wanted you, to know that I did read your comment...Oh! Yes, I watched this film when TCM aired it...which is very rare!...because some of these classic films are very rarely aired
    on television/cable anymore...I guess they figure you, can purchase them on DVDs...I must admit I watch a lot of current films too!...but, I feel that "some" classic films had more interesting story to tell!... Oops!I'am so sorry for being so long winded!
    Take care!
    DeeDee ;-D

    Nice Degas but even nicer acrostic type work. I like these but haven't done them in years. Cool theme take :)
