My step-son gave me this ornament years ago, after his year-long stay in Taiwan. I can't remember its significance, but it has been tied to my office doorknob since then!
The We're Here! gang is looking for rope and string today.
A string quartet performing at the Manchester Town Hall, at the opening reception for the Urban Sketchers Symposium. Tina captured me sketching them from the other direction. I wonder if the musicians really knew what they were signing up for beforehand, performing before a crowd of sketchers - but they were good sports about it.
Here it is, my finished string-quilt. I had so much fun designing and making it. At times it was a bit of a struggle physically since it is the largest quilt that I've ever made.

Another lightning picture from last week. I like the way the lightning ran behind the horizontal line of small dark clouds connecting them like popcorn strung together on a string. Shooting lightning is interesting because you never know what you're going to get. Very different from the typical landscape where everything is carefully composed.
Variations. Preparing for an upcoming Zentangle demonstration, playing with basic tangles (to show that basic does not have to be boring).
Late in the afternoon on my third day in the Tetons, the sun finally broke thru for a short time, and more of the mountains became visible. It would have also been nice if the wind died down for that perfect reflection. The day before, much of this part of the lake was covered by a very thin layer of ice.

Just putting my camera in the boot after a lovely day in Ilfracombe when I spotted this shot. I like how the lights lead to the misty headland in the distance.
