the reds of fogo island
the red really stands out in contrast to the deep blues of the ocean and the muted greys, yellows and mossy greens of the land and it just so happens to be one of my favorite colours :) ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ....

Corner View: Birds
This is a repeat back from a few years ago but I couldn't find any any birds to pose for me yesterday. This heron was at the pond. The pond is stocked with trout, so you can see the draw. He was very beautiful and very large. The wingspan is amazing.

You know, in real life, I've always been considered kind of a ditz. Having four kids hasn't helped ~ no, sir. And on friday I had my wisdom teeth pulled, which means... well... I don't feel any dumber but my head does hurt. That's my excuse, at least, for taking so long in showing you my prog...

walking on sunshine
Happiest of birthday wishes to my friend Sonia. To have her as a friend is to have sunshine whenever you might need a little brightness or a lift to your spirits. Which really if you think of it is really most of the time, isn't it. I woke up with this song in my mind and warmth in my heart....

spring stitching
It's so interesting to me, the pull of the seasons as it corresponds to crafting. While the knitting needles were in my hands all winter long as often as I could manage, they've been sitting a little more quietly of late. Surely, I knit all year long. But this time of year, certainly less....
