Globes, Whips, Hats and Wood Art - Oh My!




 The local outdoor area of the mall has this lovely ponds area, filled with fish and turtles...and one large bear. In the top photo, the smaller turtle had swam very quickly over to the larger one. Why? There are signs to be kind...signs to not touch or feed the turtles. A woman sat at the edge of the pond, petting a turtle. I noticed that the turtles seem to want to 'dogpile' on top of one another. Who knew? Also, they hang on the edges, the sides - being still in the sun. I could do well as a turtle.

Wow, what an informative and fascinating video. I love how you can learn about new things with ease...things one never knew existed. 




City Park walk = bird viewing, glaring sun...and then on the canyon drive, someone had dumped cactus pieces roadside. These chopped up pieces held such a violent end in my eyes, especially when dumped by the side of the road like this. Who thinks this is the way to care for plants?




Late river - bridge walk yesterday. We liked the light at this time of day and the animal activity...a small 12 inch garter snake and bevy of quails running down the path, gathering on the fence...playing follow the leader! The tips of the trees shimmered and the long shadows made bridge photos even more special.

The shades of gray mountains reminded me of Medicine Bags, both undulating and Alpaca grays. I wonder...(voice trails off).






I finally made the "Free" tags for these 9 CMB's. Now if I just remember to take them with me to plant them. Their colors are both joyful and calming.



What have you been doing or avoiding to do?

 

May you kick it in gear now and then

May you go easy on yourself when you do nothing

May you enjoy your days, however they look

I’d make a good turtle too! I notice the half hillside photo with the gleaming water slashing across ALSO looks like a medicine bag. ~ Dee

Dee~ Turtles unite! Ha. Where else will we see weavings?! Years ago, more than a decade, I used to take photos for a series I called "Places To Weave"...all had some sort of structure to cross over and open places to go in and out...particular fences, heaps of rusted wires etc. So fun 🙂

oh to be a turtle! the circle of bags looks so joyous and the bird silhouet is perfect

Saskia~ Thanks Sasx. I love seeing the bags all together, in different 'poses'. haha The circle works really well for me. The bidr had such a beautiful, typical 'bird shape' - shown off so well as it sat on the fence.
