Autumn foliage at Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

Tapestries are woven into meadows like our lives weave into who we are, from the threads of who we used to be...

On this day that looked like autumn but felt like summer (we are having an unseasonably warm and dry autumn so far), I spent a glorious stretch of time in this mountain meadow. As I sat in solitude on a rock, surrounded by the vivid colors of the season, I listened to the trickle of a small stream and the sounds of the buzzing bees and occasional bird calls. The sun warmed my face and arms as I breathed in the clean mountain air, a refreshing change from the wildfire smoke that has lingered in the air off and on for weeks where I live. And in those moments, all else seemed to fade away…

Life is a great tapestry. The individual is only an insignificant thread in an immense and miraculous pattern.

Have you seen the seven oceans?

Or the snow cap of a mountain top?

Or the northern lights set in motion?

Or a heartbeat slowed to a stop?

Have you read a book by candle light?

Or heard a leader's call to arms?

Have you ever felt my love burn so bright?

Like a fireball in your palms

More than all the things that I have seen

You will always be part of my tapestry

More than all the places I've been

You will always be part of my tapestry

Have you felt a revolution?

Do you ever sit to stop and pause?

Just to take a little moment

To see what's mine and yours

More than all the things that I have seen

You will always be part of my tapestry

More than all the places I've been

You will always be part of my tapestry

These are just lines of latitude

That we made up, drawn upon a map

We could be meeting with more than minds

We could be woven and intertwined

More than all the things that I have seen

You will always be part of my tapestry

More than all the places I've been

You will always be part of my tapestry

blueberries, the end of summer.../Tapiz, arándanos, el final del verano…/Skogsmatta, blåbärsris, nu är sommaren slut...

Sometimes life can be a bit of a blur as you struggle to separate the fine threads that may prevent you from seeing what’s in front of you. This past week we went through a kind of blur as we helped out family through some tough times. In the end, we all found our way. This image is part of a series of ICM images I took with the fall colors. Our local club had a theme of ICM this week. This image was done with a slow up and down movement over grasses with their reflection in the water below.

Thurber's wild buckwheat

This is a fairly uncommon wildflower that is very small and delicate.

Usual fare from the Teign Valley

The Tapestry of Christ in Glory. Is 23m x12m. It was designed by Graham Sutherland and made by a team of 12 French weavers at Pinton Frères bear Aubusson. It took nearly 10 years of work by Sutherland and two years to weave. It contains wool in 900 colours!!

I have gazed at this crabapple tree in our garden countless times. When the winter chill comes to an end, I have seen how the pink flowers push their way through its bare branches and stay there till spring, when the leaves make an appearance, reddish at first then turning into different shades of green through the summer. As the flowers fade, the tiny, red crabapples appear. In autumn, the leaves start to turn yellow and as winter draws near I see the crabapples fall on the ground. Towards winter’s end all that is left is an image of a somewhat desolate looking tree - no pinks, no reds, no greens, no yellows, just the deep dark browns of its gnarly trunk and branches. Yet the sight does not sadden me because I know that when spring returns, the cycle begins all over again. Such is the tapestry of time which I witness in my garden through the years. Different patterns and textures and colors get woven into this tapestry, their memory forever etched in my mind – and sometimes captured with my camera.

The lovely layers and colors of fall

Looking down from the Alcazar in Segovia, I couldn't help but notice the beauty of the river Eresma lined with the stunning gold of autumn leaves framing a tapestry of lacy reflections.

If I could take a brush and paint the mountains and the moors,

I would splash the hillsides yellow and cover them in gorse.

I'd take the finest needle and the darkest thread of green

And sew a line of bracken along the landscape. In-between

I'd lay a purple carpet of wild heather in the dells

And fringe the edge of all the woods with their pretty lilac bells.

I'd merge the bracken with the heather, mix their colours like the sea,

A green and purple ocean on my own rich tapestry.

Then I'd take a ball of soft, white wool and stitch a mass of daisy chains

Around the lush green meadows and up the sides of winding lanes.

I would stencil on the marshes, just like pure white china cups,

Some fragile water lilies and by the ponds, sweet buttercups.

I'd mix orange, reds and yellows planting poppies wild and free

Onto nature's colored canvas, my own rich tapestry.

A Matter Of How You See It

The rolling hills of the Palouse are a thrill to explore and photograph. I drove along dirt roads at random just to see what I could see and I was not disappointed.

St John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta, Malta

This is one of 29 17C tapestries from the Gift of Glory exhibition depicting episodes in the Life of Christ and the Triumph of the Catholic Church which are currently on exhibition in the cathedral until late June this year.

They were commissioned by the Grand Master of the Knights of St John, Frà Ramon Perellos y Roccafull, between 1697 and 1702. This particular tapestry depicts the Last Supper.

Anyone visiting Malta before 24 June should try and visit the exhibition if they can and also see the two magnificent Caravaggio paintings hanging there. www.stjohnscocathedral.com/the-co-cathedral/the-tapestrie...

The #MacroMondays theme for tomorrow is #wallet- something that carries bills, coins or cards. Had a few possibilities that were of the yellow transparent zippered bill holders that I use in my crossbody bag but I’m going with my DD’s card and money “wallet” Cropped it down to be absolutely sure it stayed within the parameters. It did it’s about 1 and 3/4ths - see the first comment box
