POD – Images from the Weekend
The firetruck who came to put out the car fire that happened on the corner near my house. It was pretty spectacular. The new color of red. The hat I’m knitting. There is something about knitting in the round with five knitting needles. The rope marks – the end result of the quickie that SG…
POD – CIty Scape & Twilightish
The sun was rising and I love how the windows were reflecting the sky. Twilight – hopefully it looks right on the page, but the trees, the sliver of moon – made for a neat picture (or at least a neat idea) Another view.
