A Different View – a Photo Essay – Mind’s Eye

During a hike along the Bear Valley Trail up in the Point Reyes National Seashore I was busy snapping picture after picture – Glorious scenes in every direction – soaking it all in.

I happened to glance down at one point and a pile of leaves caught my eye.  Thus began my chronicling of this previously neglected surface.  There will definitely be more to come.  I also want to play with these images and see what else I can uncover in them.

My Peach Rhapsody

Just about the time we got the Haiku prompt word for September I was itching to do another fiber/ribbon collage quilt.  The perfect opportunity arose when we were presented with the word “Rhapsody”.

I always think it’s kinda interesting to look at thought processes and how we end up where we end up so I hope you do too.  I immediately discarded the obvious (to me at least that was Rhapsody in Blue) and considered “what have I been rhapsodizing about lately?” Peaches!!  I had brought home some from Costco and every time I had one I was oohing and aahing about how delicious and perfect it was.

AND, just a few days before I had been in the local quilt shop looking at orange and PEACH fabric and carrying on about how gorgeous it was.

Tada!……………….. Peach Rhapsody

And here’s the Haiku
