Description "When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young,
pretty wife. The sun and wind had changed her, too.
They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a
sober gray; they had taken the red from her cheeks and
lips, and they were gray also. She was thin and gaunt,
and never smiled, now."

"Uncle Henry never laughed. He worked hard from morning till night and did not know what joy was. He was gray also, from his long beard to his rough boots, and he looked stern and solemn, and rarely spoke."
-The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Small preview of the Oz project. I hope you like.
BTW, Categories suck!

My, it's a good thing Nebraska isn't like that! We have a saying here, it goes like this: "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute."

XimonR In reply to WeepinAngel [2009-10-14 17:40:44 +0000 UTC]

I would love to visit Nebraska one day, a dear friend of mine is from there. I will definitely remember that saying!

No, not really. My friend always love it there because he loves cold weather... freezing weather

It snowed last Thursday night. XD

The rolling plains, because they are so flat, allows air fronts (think of bubbles) to move and pick up speed really fast. That's why it go from a hot sunny day to below freezing in a matter of hours out here.

Very grim couple. You capture those characters very well...such a sharp contrast with all the color and wonder of Oz.

Kansas was so gray and depressing... it's not hard to capture if you really want to

There are many books of Oz. >.> Are you going to include those too?
Cause I am a fan of Return to Oz.
Despite Disney trying to hide it under layers of their sugar coated modern movies.

Yeah. Though the guy who wrote the books...
