Sunday Walk on Pathfinder

Today was way too beautiful to spend it staying indoors. We walked.

Here are a few highlights from sights seen in the woods near our house today.

Fungi the color of Halloween

Such an intense orange color, these fungi begged to be photographed.

Oak Tree Tops

It pays to look up.

Bright berries and neon green leaves.

I don’t know the name of this shrub, but it was abundant in the flood plain.

Pond with reflected sky

I love the duckweed’s color. It’s so intense.

Great Blue Heron perched in a tree.

At the pond, there was also a snake sleeping next to the path. I didn’t take his picture.

Golden rod next to willows.

Goldenrod was the most glorious blooming plant today. It was a favorite of the bees.

Button Loom – Weaving Progress

So I have been weaving on the button loom for the past two days. I thought that I would have finished today, but it is not to be. I did take of photo of my progress after the first day of weaving:

After day one, I was happy with the way the piece looks. I chose a color scheme of dark red, turquoise, pale blue and ivory white. It seems to go well with the black frame and the brass and silver buttons. The weaving pattern is pretty basic, but I did use a basket weave effect with the white yarn, to show off some of the warp threads.

If all goes well, I will have a finished object for you by tomorrow.
