The thin waxing crescent moon floating below brilliant Venus and above the much dimmer Mercury on a steely blue sky fading to a light peach color near the horizon. An evergreen treetop and clouds are at the bottom of the picture.
My blue-framed glasses in an oblong brown crocheted glasses holder. The bear has ears and beady little eyes but she's missing her snout and nose. It's sitting on top of a printed copy of the pattern which is sitting on a teal blanket with a ball of white yarn.
A Belgian Malinois (they look like German Shepherds with long necks and leaner bodies). Her face an neck are mostly black except her chin/muzzle , which at almost 3 is already turning white.
It's night time and a pic of a domed fairly small Japanese maple with snow on every single branch. It's in front of a brick building with two windows (the garage) And in front of it are some bushes and a landscape light that's not lit. Deer tracks are evident in the snow on the ground.
The Shortest Day, Susan Cooper So the shortest day came, and the year died, And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world Came people singing, dancing, To drive the dark away. They lighted candles in the winter trees; They hung their homes with evergreen; They burned beseeching fires all night lone To keep the year alive, And when the new year’s sunshine blazed awake They shouted, reveling. Through all the frosty ages you can hear them Echoing behind us—Listen!! All the long echoes sing the same delight, This shortest day, As promise wakens in the sleeping land: They carol, feast, give thanks, And dearly love their friends, And hope for peace. And so do we, here, now, This year and every year. Welcome Yule!
A crescent shawl in gray with variegated white, blue, yellow, orange, and brown stripes and a lace border and a looped picot bind off in a bright yellow named Tumeric. Yarn is Manos zdel Uruguay Marla (variegated) and Sami (tonal gray, tonal gold).
Varying shades of pink alpaca French knots in a circle surrounding a center of Japanese seed beads in similar colors. Some people see a fingerprint and others see something stained for viewing in a microscope.
Three pink lotus-like flowers with green vine stems float in circles on a background of blue herringbone. They are bordered on the top and bottom by bands of grape purple with stylized gold and green leaves.
