Feeding frenzy in the Hampton Roads channel as viewed from the sea wall at Fort Monroe. The noise was intense. #photography #birds
Many birds flying above and diving into the water to catch fish. Large Navy ships can be seen through a haze in the background.

#WIPWednesday Another pillow. This is one repeat of the pattern, there will be a total of three. Patons Classic Wool in Rich Teal and Cool Gray. I'm not finished with the knitting bag set yet, waiting on 9" circs because I failed on dpns. Getting quite a pile next to my sewing machine. #knitsky 🧶
Incomplete knitting project, still on the circular needles. It is gray and teal with a pattern of diamonds and flowers. It is about a third of a pillow casing.

Some days the sky doesn't even look real. This is the path down to Grandview Beach. #photography
Wide gravel path with reeds on both sides. There is a slight curve, so the end of the path is not visible. The sky is an almost impossibly bright blue.

#ShowMeYourKnits holiday knitting. No pattern, just figured it out as I went along. Some of the beads are antiques from my Granma's workbasket. #knitsky 🧶

Grandview Beach. Being under the open sky is as much of the experience as the water is. Makes me feel unburdened. #photography
Expanse of beach and Chesapeake Bay under a bright blue sky with wispy white clouds. One person can be seen in the distance.

Recycling a photo for #ShowMeYourKnits holiday colors week. Made for a different holiday, but red's a Christmas color, and it goes out with the decorations each year. #knitsky 🧶

Don't judge the quality of this photo, please. It was taken in a hurry. This is a doily I made for my mother for Valentine's one year. #showmeyourknits lace week
Image of a deep red lace doily. It consists of 8 petals radiating from a central point.

I can't make out enough detail to identify the birds, so if anyone wants to help out, feel free. Hawkins Pond off of Grandview Beach in the morning light. #photography #birds
Two birds swimming in a pond edged with brown reeds that are reflected in the water. Everything has a golden cast in the early morning light.

Even nature thinks everyone's equal. Grandview Beach. #photography
Image of a sunrise over the Chesapeake Bay. The sun is coming up behind a dense cloud, so only a sliver shows. That sliver is reflected on the water, making it appear like a big equal sign. The sky is a deep orange and the water is almost black.

A pair of red throated loons I spent quite some time trying to take a photograph of. I discarded lots of shots that could have been titled "Place where loon was a second ago' #photography #birds
Two red throated loons swimming in open water. One loon has its head turned away from the camera, but the other loon is seen in profile. The water is a deep blue. The loons are in non-breeding plumage.

It's #WIPWednesday again. I'm about halfway through what will be a zippered notions bag. It's starting to feel more natural to knit with two yarns. I've chosen patterns with longer floats this time. #knitsky
A piece of unfinished knitting in raspberry and gray yarn. The stranded colorwork is of a flowered vine and the beginnings of a butterfly. Picture shows the bamboo circular needles and two yellow metal ring stitch markers.
