Three horned grebes swimming in open water.

Many birds flying above and diving into the water to catch fish. Large Navy ships can be seen through a haze in the background.

Feeding frenzy in the Hampton Roads channel as viewed from the sea wall at Fort Monroe. The noise was intense. #photography #birds

I'd use the same white yarn the trim on the top is in.

That works for this area at that time of year. Thanks.

How to stitch: Backstitch and Whipped Backstitch - Elara Embroidery Backstitch is a versatile outline stitch. Nice and secure for practical sewing or embellish it with whipping in your embroidery.

I'd use backstitch. www.elaraembroidery.com/how-to-stitc...

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.

#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 🧶

I think a shawl would be pretty fading from one shade to the next.

Do the modification! I like the way the wide brim keeps the area under the ponytail covered. Much less flimsy than the other ones I've seen.

Three buffleheads on open water, one is preening. Picture taken from the seawall at Fort Monroe.

After years of stalking, I finally got close enough to buffleheads that they are recognizable in a picture. #photography #birds

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.

Some days the sky doesn't even look real. This is the path down to Grandview Beach. #photography

A Christmas decoration display against a denim blue wall. There are 5 mini knitted cone shaped trees in pastels; 1 nine inch tall live cedar tree; a giant striped red, white, and green ornament; and a floral display with red and green flowers.

More knitted mini Christmas trees, with one 9" tall live cedar, a festive arrangement, and one giant ornament. #ShowMeYourKnits #knitsky 🧶

Ominous gray sky over a deserted sandy beach and low grass covered dune.

Nice sunny day at Grandview Beach, I'm about 3 miles from the car when the sky starts to look ominous. #photography

Knitted cone shaped Christmas tree with pinned on beads, ribbons, and toy necklaces for decorations.

#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 🧶

Expanse of beach and Chesapeake Bay under a bright blue sky with wispy white clouds. One person can be seen in the distance.

Grandview Beach. Being under the open sky is as much of the experience as the water is. Makes me feel unburdened. #photography

What brought him to your attention?

Definitely - gives my mind something to do besides fret and panic.

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 🧶

Gray and white sanderling on a sandy beach with little rocks and bits of shell, spotted with seafoam. It is a monochromatic picture.

I stand in awe of your powers!

Beautiful work. I hope you can get your cataracts taken care of soon - it was so nice to get the colors and crisp lines back in my world!

3 blue windflowers amidst green foliage.

From April 2016... it's wet and dreary out there today #photography #flower

I stand with my feet in the surf just looking around and listening.

Image of a pond seen through the reeds. It is sunrise and the sky is pink, orange, and purple.

Hawkins Pond. Same pond as yesterday, from the other side. #photography

Hampton, VA - they're not shown as being around here on all about 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.

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

You're not going to make me feel guilty for living here.
