Thank you so much for all the kinds words about my Spring finishes. I almost have all the Easter/Spring things up around the house. I like to do bunnies and eggs for Spring so I will be leaving them up for a bit beyond Easter. We had another wonderful day, temps in the 50's and sunny so the SBA and I took a nice walk to a place about 40 minutes from our house . It is a state park called Penrose Point State Park. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
I am really enjoying this quick little stitch!
Tonight I will be stitching some of the strawberries.
We heard a loud banging on the deck and look who was at our suet feeder. That bird must be at lest 10 to 12 inches long.
The flickers are especially pretty!
Now we are on the walk. Can you believe a wild flower was blooming?!
And the ferns. Almost as tall as the SBA.
This is actually under water. Notice the floating seaweed.
I thought is was such a pretty spring green color.
We do have lots of moisture up here. Love that hanging moss!
From the point, Mt. Rainier was spectacular!! Notice the reflection.
Notice the mountains to the left. That is part of the Cascade Range. That let's you see just how tall Ranier is compared to other mountains.
Lots of sea birds were in the water. I'll have a few more pictures tomorrow. I hope you are having a nice restful week-end!
Beautiful stitching and great photos!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are beautiful! Hopefully soon it will be warm enough to walk around here. Yesterday we got 15 inches of snow. Your stitching is lovely.
ReplyDeleteOkay now I have two things to be jealous about! You can't top the view / vistas of Mt Rainier in my book. And now you have a Pileated Woodpecker who comes to your feeder! Life is just not fair - mine are so shy and skittish, they'd never get that close to the house. Your newest stitch is coming along well, and what a nice walk. Wasn't Saturday a pretty day in the Pac NW?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the wonderful pictures that you took during your walk. What a scenery!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
ReplyDeleteWow, the pictures are great. I love those with the Mt Rainier. You really got an eye for the scenery. Thnaks for showing.

ReplyDeleteOh how I miss my bird feeders! We haven't had one since moving to the lake. They hang out on the back deck though and "decorate" it to the hilt! I need to find a way to keep them off of there.
