The other day Alice and I visited a new store in Easley, SC https://loftyfiber.com which sells new looms, accessories and yarn. It is a great place. I thought the juxtaposition of the tulips in front of the fiber piece on the wall worked well together.Go visit even if you are not a weaver (yet).
I was looking through some fairly recent images and was drawn to the red umbrella and a kind of related shape with the flower.
Alice brought a Christmas cactus home for my study and here a few images of this fantastic gift. It bloomed just before Thanksgiving instead of on Christmas.

These are a few images I made inNM which are not specifically NM, just fun for me to look at.
These are views of our “backyard” at our rental home in Santa Fe. It was great to return there after each day’s travels.
These images from our yard reminds me of conversations the way the objects interact. Some are sort of one to one conversations, like the first one. The second is a sort of happy. expansive conversation with self and the third is a kind of a noisy meeting.
There are other places to look besides straight ahead, though that is fruitful (and safe), but looking down can be rewarding.
The Biltmore Estate has several dining places and I think the views from the Library are the best, starting with the table and going out the window.
This time of year is my favorite for flowers, especially magnolias.
These are from Al’s and my walk pin the
Connestee Nature Park. The toning is via the Palladium Tone filter from the TLR Digital Black and White Toning Set which may no longer be available. Started to play with it and for me it gives a rich, warm feel to the images.
