Most of my tatting projects are in the not-ready-for-camera-lens stage. My piece for the Carmel Bach Festival Art of Music fundraiser is at the framer’s. My hair bun lace is close to being done, but not quite. My booties are still in the 2nd sock syndrome stage. I’m in the process of tatting the Revers piece in a smaller thread.
I spent some time recently looking through all my WIP and
deciding which ones I needed to work on first. Then, I went on a hike and saw
this:
We were on the trail at Ano Nuevo State Park. Yes, there were seals. Yes, there were small lizards sunning themselves and birds galore. At one point, we were watching a flock of brown pelicans. There must have been 50 or so in the meadow! There were turkey vultures doing their thing keeping the beach clear of carrion. It wasn’t until a friend trained his rather professional type of camera at the tree that we realized the bird in the picture above wasn’t a hawk or turkey vulture. Those white feathers really are that dramatic. Even against the foggy sky. We were thrilled to see a Bald Eagle up close! We were able to get within a few feet of the tree (staying on the trail) and were so in awe. You never know what you will see in our parks around here. It makes walking for exercise that much more thrilling!
I was able to finish the last of the stars I've been tatting for Starfish Fibers. Whew! What will today hold????
