I love nature, I love photography… bring the two together and the joy doubles 🙂 Capturing the moment, getting eyes in focus, recording the seasons, being in awe of the beauty all around me, it is definitely a joyful thing.
A dragonfly pausing and looking into my camera lens, observing me observing her, allowing me a moment to capture her likeness.
A gasp as a dragon considers my hand a suitable landing place
Managing to capture the moment when Beautiful Demoiselles form themselves into a beautiful heart
Arriving at the usual patch, and finding the Green Hairstreaks are there again, as hoped
Checking in the woods in spring and finding the Wood Anemones carpeting the ground
Holding your breath, so as not to scare a lizard away
Capturing the details of a solitary bee’s eyes
And of course a glimpse into my world wouldn’t be complete without some crochet too! Crochet brings a different kind of joy, a slow contentment, a sense of wonder at the transformation from ball of yarn to garment or blanket, and the pleasure of wearing (or gifting) the results.
Finished rainbow socksFinished Diamonds Not Pearls jumper … but with a lot of ends to sew in still! Will do shots of me actually wearing it when the ends are done.The beginnings of a new project which involves a double ended circular crochet hook, and 2 balls of yarn at once! It’s Tunisian crochet in the round, very new to me.
Suzy, the thing I loved the most about your post were its vivid colours, the natural greens dazzled me and the picture of the insects forming a heart was a winner. Also looking at your crocheted items, I cannot help but admire your skill with the hook. Many years ago, I crocheted a blanket and I enjoyed the activity. I’m inspired to pick it up again. Wonderful post, Suzy. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Hi, Suzy. What fun! I love the socks and your wonderful crochet projects, as well as your shots of nature in all its glory. I really enjoyed your post!
Wonderful world, Suzy! Love your flying friends – and the socks! Is there a recipe to be had?
