Miles and I out for our Sunday hike on Cougar. Stac drove us to the top of the mountain and we walkd over and across Wilderness Peak and down the backside to the Wilderness Creek trailhead where the car was and we drove home. This is taken on a small forgotton trail to the Wilderness Cliff trail.
A wonderful afternoon at the Seattle Waterfront. This is the back of some of the shops.

Simple stockinette stitch, with the first stitch of each row slipped. The backside isn't as "pretty", so I'll likely apply glue to the toothpicks on this side (to keep the stitches from sliding off).
For this set, I used "Japanese toothpicks", which only have a point at one end. According to The Toothpick: Technology and Culture by Henry Petroski, the single point is to help keep your fingers clean. If you used the second end of a toothpick, you'd have to touch whatever gunk was on the first end. (Maybe they prefer not to hold them in the middle? Better reach to the back teeth, I guess.) You can also break off the non-pointy end and rest the pointy end on it, like a chopsticks rest.
In the future, I'd like to add little beads to the non-pointy end of the toothpick. I don't have access to the right-sized bead at the moment, and it would be only for decoration - not mandatory.

I've been talking with Adi adirotynd recently about tiny knitting sets for dolls. Finally got around to making one, and the resulting set looks reasonable with 1:4 scale and 1:6 scale figures. It's the start of a scarf with a "center-pull" ball of yarn; non-functional, in this case, so it stays together. I plan to glue the stitches onto the needles later (from the back), so that also stays together.
- Tiny knitting set uses Sirdar's 4-ply snuggly yarn
- Shawl uses yarn from local alpacas at Black Woods Farm, in Cherryfield, Maine
- Magpie is a Tonner Deja Vu "Rose Red Ball" Judy
- Outfit is the "Cape Cod" fashion from Madame Alexander's "Alex Fairchild" doll line

It feels good to see a bright Sunflower on such a cold, snowy day as today, 10 December 2016. Several of these tall flowers were growing at the Alberta Birds of Prey Centre three months ago.
It had been a few years since my last visit to the Alberta Bird of Prey Centre - I had only been maybe three or four times - and I had been longing to go back. Much too far and all new driving territory for me to even think about driving there myself. However, on 9 September 2016, that is exactly what I did. A friend had said she would come along, too, but she emailed me at 1:00 am that morning to say that she assumed our trip had been cancelled, as she hadn't heard back about the time to meet. In fact, I had sent two emails giving the time, so I don't know what happened there. Very unfortunate, as it would have been great to have had company on such a long drive, and I know she would have had great fun with her camera.
I knew it would be a long day and further than I would normally drive - and in a brand new car that I am still learning to drive! Only got lost twice on this 481 km drive, one minor and the other major. Must have taken a wrong turn somewhere way down south and I ended up in the city of Lethbridge, that I had very carefully planned to avoid. After driving for three and three-quarter hours, I finally arrived, to my huge relief.
Despite getting there later than I had hoped, I still had plenty of time to wander round the grounds and photograph the various raptors. Some were tethered out in a couple of grassy areas and others were in outdoor cages. Wonderful to get such a close look at the various majestic birds.
I took a slightly different way home via #845 (?), making absolutely sure that I didn't accidentally find myself in Lethbridge again and it wasn't too long before I found myself in the area that I had driven a few weeks before, when I went SW of Vulcan to look for Common Nighthawks (without any luck).
Just so happy that I finally made myself do this drive. When I Googled the Centre's website, I had discovered that they were closing two days later for the winter. So, it was either a case of going the next day or not at all till next May onward.
The day after this adventure, 10 September 2016, I took my daughter on a long drive in Kananaskis. This was yet another place that I had longed to be able to drive for many years - and finally I did it! I had been lots of times with various friends, but this was the very first time I had ever driven myself. We had planned to do this a few weeks earlier, but then my car had major repairs that needed to be done. Instead, I knew I just couldn't put any more money into my 17-year-old car, and I ended up replacing it. So glad we went on this particular day, as it snowed the following day.
