(Shot with a Nikon D60)

I started getting together items I needed to crochet a few Christmas presents. I picked up a few skeins of yarn, and pulled out my hooks and patterns books. I’m ready to begin.

Despite the warm weather, many of the birds have gone further south. I need to get the feeders ready for winter.

As the grass turns brown and slows its growth, there remain a few splashes of color ready to keep our spirits up.

Making ready for Halloween, sunsets and spiders played their part.

    Love the shots this week!!
    I had so many bird feeders up in my yard, before I had kids :-) . Unfortunately I didn’t have time for the upkeep and regular fillings when the boys came! I loved my birds!!

    I love how the earth prepares for winter. It’s an amazing time of year.

    Can’t wait to see what you do for the Christmast pressies!

    There are a lot of textures in these shots. My favorite pic is the one with the crochet hooks–I love the many “colors” :)

    Have a great week, Tara :)

    great shots, but as a fellow crocheter my fave is the hooks. I could see that printed up.

    I love the spider, even though I’m terrified of spiders. And you reminded me I have a blanket to finish..

    Love the last shot, and that beautiful sky. Hope you finish the crocheted goodies in time

    I’m envious of the fact you still have beautiful flowers during winter and of that sky, naturally :)

    I just prepped the feeders, too. We still have tons of crazy little birds up here and the girls adore it. Enjoy your crocheting!

    What you crochet, too? Seriously, what can’t you do? Love the photos (another great talent), especially the spider!

    I hope you had a great Halloween (and I’m making brussel sprouts for dinner. On purpose. With bacon. Cuz they’re GOOD!) :)

    That spider does not look itsy bitsy! As always, Superior Snaps…

    Beautiful pictures, Tara!! I sure wish I could learn to process my photos like that one day…

    I love the flower, that B&W with the shock of purple is just gorgeous.

  22. 2009 November 2

    Are you a stitcher?? I never could figure that out – I needlepoint instead!

    I always love looking at your photos, Tara!!!!
