peekin at poppies

It's amazing the subtle beauty you can find if you look closely, like the different  numbers of stigmatic rays on a poppy. The more notches that radiate, the more seeds a poppy will yield, even if the capsule is smaller because these are the parts that take the male pollen grains.

tomorrow's treasures

Since that first net, more treasures washed up on our rocky beach, and I learned they are for lobster bait! I prefer to fill them with other things though...

What's next to come I wonder?

This adorable five inch wide sculpture by artist photographer Mike Goede captures a cozy little alpine or maritime life of simplicity.  I'd love to add some pants to the washline and some windows to the home.

I like this photo with and without filters. The two below would be interesting to translate into rugs, either hooked with strips of velvet or as cut pile wool yarn, with saturated glowing color.
