Everyone is doing well!
And this past weekend…
Thanksgiving has come and gone here in Canada. I actually cooked a turkey this year because of a request… and I was very surprised at how well it turned out. I usually like to cook roasts or something else because. Turkey is so time intensive. But I did some very simple and very yummy sides the day before and it all worked out nicely. The bonus was receiving some lovely sunflowers from my grandson. He planted the himself and he didn’t want the frost to get them first.
Aren’t they lovely? Who doesn’t love sunflowers!
Ok a whole year has gone by…sigh… where does the time go!
Fall is a lovely time of year and this year, after a long hot summer with very little water to quench the thirst of the trees, they are looking a tad dry but still spectacular. I wish I could do the same… how did I get to be this old??? Hmmm maybe it’s best to concentrate on the beautiful leaves in all their glory!
Ah the magic of yellow gold, and a hint of green!
Hardly photos of the week, but perhaps season!
We had a gorgeous fall this year. The leaves were truly wonderful , gone now but it is always good to re look at them in this cold grey month of November. Do you do this too? To keep the grey away, especially in this conflicted world.
The above apricot tree doesn’t usually make it to the colours of the fruit, but this year was mild and dry so it put in a splendid show.
I thought I was going to miss them…
But my peonies are blooming beautifully! They are truly a gorgeous flower!
It finally April..
And the tiniest signs of new growth are showing…
Snow ,Snow, and more Snow, as March closes in.
Greetings
Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Mostly golden trees but….
There are still a few flowers around, this golden bunch has bloomed all summer.
And these red geraniums are pumping out their deep red tones just because…
Dry flowers
Fitting for august… though these ones were not dried accidentally, rathe on purpose because they were still lovely!
My favorite peony
Spring!!!
Thinking about line
I embroidered this a few years ago and it is clearly a study on line.
Something a little different
I’m taking Jane Dunnewold’s Creative Strength Training course again this year. She encourages everyone to keep our eyes open for certain art principles that show up in our daily seeing. One can post ones results on the private Facebook page but I don’t do Facebook for lots of reasons so it occurred to me that I might use this space to keep track of my images , at least for a while. I’m not sure it will happen daily, My rebel has a lot of trouble committing to a daily anything. But this might keep me posting here more often than I have in the recent past. So I’m going to give it a try.
March is all about line: this first capture, was done a few years ago, when I discovered I could draw with my finger on my phone while I waited for something or other… I like the way this drawing uses thick and thin, straight and squiggly but nothing more than lines and it reminds me of drawing when I was a child… maybe that’s a good place to start!
It was that cotton candy like snow
And today….
Winter returns…
