Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, May 12, 1915 

Sun glows dimly in a whispy mackerel sky – Orioles, robins & yellowbirds – wrens fill the air –

In Park – Birds & dandelion balls dot the green – grackles robins, sparrows – cool breeze stirs the silver hazed air – twinkling shadows under silvery cottonwoods –

Late afternoon sun hazy – haphazard sky – yellow green glittering trees fluttering in the windy sunset –

Salmon pink wispy black windy trees – sense of joy in air –
