I should be at the Mockingbird Cafe (left) this morning knitting and enjoying the rotating art hangings inspiring color combinations and more...however I am in a self imposed quarantine due to a flu-like cold. I am tempted to go anyway, but better to be safe... So I decided to post some pictures from my phone camera from a couple of months ago. Once more my friend Dilania's garden inspires with glimpses of color hidden in gorgeous leaves of greenery.
I wish I had a tenth of the knowledge she has about plants and their care. Her garden always has a surprise or two. (or three).



And one shot of a beautiful sunset. I missed the main blaze of color but still found these clouds so lovely, so pleasing.
One footnote, unrelated to the rest of this post: A while ago I posted some photos of a handspun yarn dyed with Spanish moss and turmeric. I am happy to report that I was working toward an entry for Spin-Off Magazine's Handspun Gallery of Natural Dyes for the Fall 2010 issue. While I didn't make the cut for the magazine my entry was chosen for the web page, so if you would like to see it you can go to http://www.spinoffmagazine.com/ and click on the Handspun Gallery of Natural Dyes and check out the details. It was fun to do and now I have the gorgeous yarn to play with. Hmmm.. what will it become?
