amazing color if you just get close enough to look
bow glacier falls
the river was in its spring flood stage and was high and fast the whole way up. part of the trail was under water and we had to scramble along the cliff beside where it should have been.
a little way down from the falls the blue water from the falls flowed into the silty water flowing down the other valley (from the glacier as well but on the other side of the ridge) it took a while for the waters to completely merge, so for a while the colors remained distinct.
a picture taken at the base of the falls about 1/3 of the way up. i know that doesn’t make a lot of sense but i climbed up as high as i could, right beside the falls and then took a picture of what was still above me. if you’d like to see a picture of the whole falls just head over to my flicker and it’s the next picture after this one.
lace shawl
glorious colors
i couldn’t resist trying to capture the vivid reds and greens of the alpine flower against the cool gray of the rocks
color me purple
i changed ember’s eyes to different purple ones that i had in my “eye box”. they are lighter, but with a dark ring and one size smaller. i didn’t think they would work, but they fit really well. i love her new look and she is now much easier to photograph, (even though the lighting right now is horrible for taking pics.)
she is wearing a new thread lace shawl i made for her, not finished or blocked, but it really brought out the color in her eyes.
now if i could just figure out where i got the eyes from! (anyone know/recognize them?)
quinn comes home
here is quinn as he looked before a visit to the “spa”
i know normally boys don’t do “spa visits” but all my kids have to go at least once 😆
and now my shy boy is home to stay (or maybe i should say “up”, since the spa is in the basement 😉 )
he is a real flames fan and claims he wrestled the shirt from a bear, but i have my doubts…
