With eyelids heavy and red,

A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,

Plying her needle and thread"

I got all of these old thread spools from a dear friend, some of them are from France.

Captured while out for a walk on the River St bridge to Lemieux Island last night. Taken hand held, but I might have to go back with a tripod someday and see what can be done. Nice target of opportunity. With no clouds, the sky was orange for all of about 3-4 minutes and then a duller blue/black.
