Weekly Photo Challenge: Trio

A trio of birds waiting for their turn to eat. Bird feeders can be fun.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Careful and My happy place

Living on the island surrounded by wildlife is a cautionary tale. Cougars and bears have been sighted in neighborhoods around the city these last weeks– they are after their prey – the deer.

So we are carful when we head out to our back yard – My favorite happy place.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Grid

These are bits as found in an antique sewing box that I won at a thrift shop today. There is a removable tray that is a grid of boxes and spaces, pins and cushions. Based on the advertising and projects found in the box the last time someone used this box was 1927. Spindles, spools, pins and pin cushions. Locks, keys (but not for the sewing box) buttons, hoods and needles. A true treasure for the sewers.

This is an Ivory Pin cushion with a small thread holder.

A sport cap and scarf pattern.

All of the threads are silk.

The Letters are to placed on the garment and embroidered so it is perfect.

The top part of the box without the bits.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Monochrome

Sunrise over Fairy Lake – the summer forest fires from the mainland made for a few monochrome days.

Weekly Photo Challenge: From every Angle.

Ripples are always fun. These are not only fun but so amazing – the prisms of light of the mid day sun dance like sundrenched crystal chandlers. So I will share with you these ripples..

This little creek is clear, cold and deep! He didn’t even touch bottom so over 6ft.

A pristine place along the Pacific Coast from every angle!

Weekly Photo Challenge: today was a good day

My partner was throwing rocks in the swimming hole to make some ripples – Loki thought that they were for her so she jumped into the water and not finding the rock that was thrown for retrieval she happened upon a leaf floating on the water and brought that back to us like a good dog.
