      @deborah-Haagenson I grew up in southwest Iowa, and this prompt made me remember the gravel roads we road our bikes on, and the quality of light turning all the greens kinda orange, and the sound of tree frogs and locusts as the lightning bugs started to light up in flashes all around. I remember realizing for the first time that the moon was appearing at the same time as the sun was setting...

      I tried to capture that a bit. It's amazing how these prompts can launch a person down memory lane, you know? So many of these words and phrases inspire vivid memories for some reason. They're hitting the nail on the head every time they announce something! LOL! I love it! 🙂

            I remember nights in the hospital. I would always have certain recurring nightmares. It was horrible and I'd get very little sleep.
            I am glad you are alright now. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your personal story in your work.

              I asked my niece (7 years old) what she would want to dream about at night - and you nailed it. 🙂

                We vote on the bottom right side of a post with the upwards arrow. But they count for likes not votes in terms of counting towards winners. Lee, Will and Jake make the winning decision. 🙂 I know I am not Lee and I haven't read any other comments on this but I thought I'd reply.

                            @Heather-Boyd Thanks for the comment Heather 🙂 Yeh all good thanks. I just thought this was a nice way to display a very different side to Nightfall, so hopefully people agree.

                              decided to be on the ball and enter early! I'm a bit confused on what size the image should be though..........?I know there was a post a while back but I can't find it now.

                                          After watching a few critiques and reading comments, I feel like I submitted my painting too quickly. Am I allowed to take it down, rework, and resubmit before February 29?
