thread crocheted owls

crochet owls

i’ve been having fun lately making little crocheted owls for my small cousins.  this is a rather odd line up of them, ’cause i used them in an assignment for my photography course.  we were learning how angles and aperture size affects depth of field. i love how the reflections showed up so clearly on the table in this photo.

crochet owls with books

here’s another shot against some textbooks, also part of the assignment, but it gives a better idea of the size.  we had to line the objects up against a flat background for the second part of the assignment, and i couldn’t resist the juxtaposition of cute little crocheted things against serious math texts.

on top is another of my all time favorite books ” a wrinkle in time” by madeleine l’engle.  i’m re-reading the series for the umpteenth time.

banff/lake louise trip day 3

it’s been a while since i added to my trip log, life’s been busy…isn’t it always?
today was a quiet day. the sun was bright, the air was clear, we went for another stroll around the lake. for some reason most of my pictures didn’t work out, but i have a couple to show you….

enjoying the day

at the end of the lake i climbed up on a huge snow covered rock just to enjoy the view.  it was warm enough that i chose a lighter weight sweater today – this one a lovely pink lace knit out of zephyr wool-silk, teamed up with my cream colored scarf to keep the chill off. i relished having the sun in my face and being able to go bare-headed today.

an introspective moment

as usual we found many places to explore and a few good enough for a photo op.
