I can do one (or both) of two things when I have anxiety. I can either eat a couple gallons of rocky road ice cream or I can knit. While waiting for the results of a biopsy (turned out to be not cancer, thank you God) I worked on a stress afghan.
First, I bought two big skeins of yarn. That’s what’s at the bottom of the afghan. Then, I realized two skeins weren’t enough so I bought more yarn. That’s what the rest of the afghan looks like. While it may not be great art, it’s nice to snuggle under.
The full moon this month was a super moon. I shot moonrise.
And I shot moonset.
There are problems getting the sky right when shooting the moon. The moon is so bright that it throws off the light metering.
The antidote is to put the landscape into the photo.
Fall in western New York, where I’m from, is yellow, gold, and red. Fall in the desert is mostly green with a bit of white and yellow tossed in.
Itty bitty flowering plant that flowers in the fall.
This is what the flower looks like up close.
So far, this barrel cactus has survived a two-decade drought. But something weird is growing on top of the cactus.
I’ve no idea what this is. I don’t think it’s a seed pod and I have never seen a barrel cactus grow a little cactus.
I’ve no idea what this is, but I thought it looked interesting.
A few flowers cling to the desert sage bush. The bush flowers after it rains and it hasn’t rained in a while. I doubt more rain now would trigger blooming. The shrubs know it’s fall and time to rest.
I decided to take my commissions from Spoonflower sales and order sheets. This is the pattern I used. What I love about the Spoonflower sheets is the fitted sheet actually fits the mattress and the top sheet is generous.
