NEW EXPERIENCES

There is such a pretty park with a paved path around this large pond.  It was a perfect day for a walk 
after waking up to another freeze!
On the other side of the pond, the lighting was so different!  
This photo has no adjustment on the color!
I saw this new-to-me tree called a Chinese Elm.  This is about 5' from the ground, about 18" diameter and just a crazy section with so many branches!  I would love to get my hands
 on a piece like this to work on the lathe! lol  
The park would probably frown on my idea though!
The leaves were in clusters with the round, brown things that were flowers but I didn't see any berries.
And to top it off;  Jeremiah's Italian ice Gelatis and soft ice cream in Mango! Think orange ice and vanilla for a wonderful Creamsicle taste! Delicious!

  2. Those blues in the pond photo is amazing! So pretty. I've heard of Chinese Elm trees but I've never seen one before. It does look a bit spooky.

  3. Great photos and the blues in the first two photos are beautiful! That tree is quite interesting and I'm sure you would create something fantastic on your lathe. I wonder if the wood is even available anywhere? Thanks for sharing!! xo

  5. I would have loved to have a tree like that elm to climb when I was a kid. We had a walnut tree that had lots of thick, low branches that I used to love to sit in and watch the world go by. The bark was a little rough though. I do remember that and eating my fill of walnuts every fall.

PRETTY STRIPS

Yes, they do look good and play together well!   It is very relaxing to stitch them but I did find that I have to trim  all of the 2 1/2...
