Nature’s colors
I wish I could duplicate in yarn the colors God has given us in nature. I told you yesterday about our trip to Homer - the colors were spectacular in the sunlight! The greens of the Devil’s Club, the blue/lilac of the lupine growing alongside the highway, the whiteness of the clouds, the blues of the sky and ocean . . . we just cannot match it with our dyes and paints, I’m afraid.
And . . . patterns!!! the patterns of nature are sometimes so pure it makes your heart cry, you know? Take, for example, the gift we received as we were driving up a rutted gravel road toward the Ninilchik Russian Orthodox Church (The Transfiguration of Our Lord Russian Orthodox Church).
We are always on the look out for big game - bears, moose, caribou - because they are fun to photograph and they are also dangerous to vehicles. We look into the sky to see eagles soar. We look to the waves hoping to see beluga whales.
Today I chanced to look down at the gravel road just in time to see a sandpiper crossing in front of my car! As I stopped the car and fumbled for my camera I was chanting don’t move little guy, don’t move and trying to get hubby to see what I was seeing. I was blessed with a great shot - and can now marvel at the patterning in one of God’s small creatures.

and . . . just for fun . . . I finished another of the petal cloths - used a larger needle for this one so the cloth is a bit bigger. I also used two colors of yarn for this one - alternating with each petal. Turned out pretty cool I think.
