The Upside of this Endless Winter
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010Hi all,
We had a really cool frost a few weeks ago that created lovely formations on the trees, etc. My pals tell me it’s called a hoarfrost. Here are some pics of my backyard:

You can’t see it as well here, but my magnolia got some, too:

I had my Needle Arts guild meeting today and Mary Hettmansperger was our speaker. She does unbelievable mixed media work: baskets, jewelry, textiles and a cross over between all media. Truly gorgeous stuff. I’m in a class with her for the next few days. I’m hoping to take tons of pictures. Check out her work here: http://www.maryhetts.com/
I drove up to my house today to see a red tailed hawk munching on a squirrel on the sidewalk. He let me stare from the car, but as soon as I came out with my camera, he flew off. I sure wish I could have captured him on film, but camera or no, it was definitely an awesome gift for the day.
