Monday Morning...

Somehow I have gotten out of the habit of carrying our camera with me and constantly snapping pictures of interesting tidbits for my blog. But last weekend, I did get a photo of this decaying mushroom in the midst of the never-ending mess the squirrels are making right now. I know it's kind of gross, but I loved all the textures together.
The same goes for this dead leaf - it looked to me like a piece of textured fabric. Isn't it cool? Well, sort of?
These I spied while I was watching Daniel wrestle with a dead branch on one of our trees. After much sawing, 
finally, the branch fell and our tree looked much better. 
In other news, I blocked two of my new scarves and will be able to take pictures tomorrow after things dry out a bit. We are having an unsettled and stormy day today (it's rumbling outside as I type this), which means I'll probably be off the computer most of the day.

But if and when I can, I'll be visiting your blogs! Hope you are doing well and are enjoying a good start into this week!!

    Silke, I love that you have your own perspective on the world. I don't know that the mushroom or the leaf would have even caught my attention, but now...I see the textures!! Thank you!

    Love the textures and colors.The leaf is from a Hosta, isn't it? I like taking close ups of odd things that are past their prime---makes it interesting to view from a different perspective.
    I am off to a day of studio work, interspersed with some guys coming to cut down the old satelite dish (yeah, the big monster type) and then run a few errands.
    I'd rather be knitting...... ;)

    XXOO~~♥

    OOOooooooo I think the piece of wood looks like a bird wing! I have been thinking the same thing, that I need to take my camera out on my morning walk again! Be safe in the storm. **blows kisses** Deb

    The leaf is lovely, isn't it amazing the beauty in the small things around us. I love rumbly stormy days we don't get those in CA. I miss them. Enjoy yourself.

    I see an elephant in the second photo and a giant bunny in the 3rd. Strange what your mind does.

    Great shots.

    Liebe Silke, das kenne ich gut, mit der Kamera in jeden Winkel *kriechen* und die schöönsten Dinge finden - ist es nicht zauberhaft , was es alles zu endecken gibt, wenn man durch den *Sucher* schaut :-))) Wir hatte hier heute auch einen grauen Regentag, es ist halt Herbst...

    Liebste grüße zu Dir

    What a gorgeous leaf! There are so many treasures to find in fall. :) Can't wait to see your new scarves - I'll bet they are lovely. That stormy weather is headed our way, unfortunately. Hopefully, it won't stay long. Theresa
