We camped under the full moon in my parent's backyard last weekend. Spent the next beautiful day with my whole family wandering around - walking in the creek looking for treasures and found so many. My son walking in the trees - this very spot was an open field when I was his age - full of daisies in the summer - now it is a young forest.
The sun printed "seedling" in blue made a week (or two!?) ago in the warm sunshine. Now the weather has turned - cold, overcast and windy - halloweeny. Our dog is sleeping in the bed instead of at her post in the open window. All the windows are closed all the time.
I have been mostly daydreaming of stitching - been so busy with a bit of freelance work and volunteer projects, keeping the boys busy and happy for fall break. Am working my way back around to fabric and thread. I am missing it - a lot.
Thank you for thoughtful comments on the beetles. I am thinking of more of them - insects. Maybe a big one - with more detail. Kind of funny to be daydreaming of them when there are hardly any left outside - my way of keeping them around a bit longer?
Such a wonderful collection of photos. Getting in touch with nature in a way that I love, too -- so quiet and mindful.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a beautiful place, one photo looked like a piece of Glennis' cloth but it was the sky! Who planted the forest? Maybe your parents?
ReplyDeletethank you, Eva. we love looking for fossils - the boys are excited about it now too.
ReplyDeleteRobyn - thanks! the trees are tulip poplars mostly - growing very straight because they are all so close together - reaching for a spot of sun. they planted themselves!
ReplyDeletethe daydreaming may be because
ReplyDeletemany of the "bugs" ARE still out
there....wintering over?
Love the image board. Sounds like a fun time. Can't wait for you to get back to stitching and cloth though!
ReplyDeletedid the boys find any fossils? what fun. i love your photos... you are an artist in many ways.
ReplyDeleteNandas, thank you. The boys did find many fossils - a nautiloid, corals and some shells. It's so fun they like to look as much as we do. So sweet they have the patience for it.
