I SPY # 10

 I Spy #10

This week the prompts are: texture, fun, tall, shoes, own choice.

Texture:  this fell out of our tree recently.  It is beautifully made with a variety of materials: dried grass, a large leaf on the bottom of the outside, dog hair, sheep wool, lichen (the whitish curly bits), moss, feathers, some sort of stringy fibre etc. - what a clever bird to make such a beautiful nest.  I have it in a glass bowl on my coffee table.   The eggs have hatched, not been damaged.



Fun: Who doesn't like playing at the beach?  Here are two of our grandchildren on one of our road trips.




Tall: this is a palm tree, one of a row down the middle of the street in Raglan, a small town and our nearest beach (about an hour drive away).  Every two weeks on a Friday, a group of us get together to stitch, this week we went to Fiona's at Raglan and as soon as I saw the palms I knew it was my TALL!





Shoes:  This is a collection of Ian's shoes by the door - he is too tired to take them upstairs!!!




Own choice:  On Wednesday I took two of our granddaughters to the ballet for their birthdays; it was a surprise and we went out for a pizza dinner, so they didn't know until we got there.  This was taken while waiting for it to start.



What an exciting week it has been.

    So funny; my texture was a bird's nest too and my tall was also a tree! Your photos are great.

    Such great pictures Carol! Loving that birds nest and how amazing is that tall tree!! I'm jealous that you got to take your granddaughters to see a ballet. My daughter has continued taking dance/ballet lessons through this all but they haven't had a performance since the Nutcracker in December 2019. All venues in our area are still closed. I can't wait to watch her dance again on stage!!

    Great photos Carol. I am always amazed at the nests that birds build and what they scavenge to make them with.
    The collection of shoes looks just like the collection of shoes that I saw at Christmas when I visited my son and daughter (struggled to find a space to put mine!)
    Wow what a magnificent tree. I haven't been to Raglan for many years and can't remember those trees. Maybe it is time I went there again.
    Hope your grand-daughters enjoyed their night out.
