This month I experienced a lightning strike in the backyard, and earthquake, and a hurricane! This is the first pattern in the series of "Natural Disasters" patterns I'm planning. Although, I might change that to "Forces of Nature" instead, because things really weren't that disastrous.
I have sketches done for the other 2 patterns, so I might instagram them & upload them a little later.
This one was inspired by pictures of the Chrysler Building in New York. I think shading is mandatory to get it to work and not look too busy. Keep your domes tall and their sides straight for best results. I wasn't careful with my zigzag lines if you were wondering...
In my garden, Zaragoza, Spain. Given the host plant (Sedum sediforme) Aphis sedi seems the most probably, but not sure.
I've made a free step-by-step tutorial for this flower: crocheterie.blogspot.com/2012/01/crochet-cute-little-flow...
I spent a few days in downtown Los Angeles and photographed something other than bugs and flowers. There was so much construction going on, everywhere I walked.

"Long summer days choked with wildfire haze has made this the smokiest summer on record in Alberta's biggest cities.
Environment Canada data shows Edmonton and Calgary have set new records for "smoke hours," which are counted when the haze becomes particularly thick, reducing visibility along the horizon to 9.7 kilometres or less.
Records on smoke hours have been kept for more than 70 years. The previous record for both Edmonton and Calgary was set in 2018.
Between May and September of that year, Edmonton recorded 229 smoke hours. Calgary recorded 450 smoke hours during the same time frame.
This year, as of Sunday (3 September 2023), Edmonton has recorded 244 smoke hours. Calgary has recorded 464 smoke hours so far this summer.
The totals for both cities are expected to rise as smoke continues to drift in from wildfires burning in B.C. and the north." From The Weather Network, 4 September 2023.

"A friend told me about a display of fungi near Fish Creek Park last year, so of course I had to go and check it out : ) Taken on 29 June 2012, near the edge of the eastern end of the park. Wish I knew what kind of mushrooms these are - I love the patterns that form on the top surface of the caps. They look so much like some of the Easter Hot Cross Buns that I buy.
Any chance that these could be Cracked-Cap Mushroom / Agrocybe dura? Apparently, they are very common in wood mulch, which fits with my photo."
Gajillions of individual duckweed plants cover the surface of the marsh at the Galien River County Park in Berrien County, Michigan.
