Thanksgiving, Knitting and Last Night’s Full Moon

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in America!

It was lovely at singing this morning to see one of our growing-up Choir-babies knitting so carefully. It was a delight too to sing to her baby brother who found it very amusing and chuckled and chuckled in that fabulous way that only babies can.

Last night’s moon was big and beautiful. These photos were taken about 7pm and when I woke at 2am it was as daylight outside with the whole garden clearly visible in the bright moonlight.

Mayor, Owl Hat and Full Moon Rising

06 Dec

1 In Redruth today there were mince-pies and tangerines, biscuits and hot chocolate all free from the town council and our Mayor was there along with others handing them out to all the shoppers. It was delightful!

2 Today I had the loveliest thank you note from Kari and Lael and photos of their beautiful baby wearing the owl hat I made for him.

3 There is a full moon tonight and I took a series of photos as it rose over the hedge in our back garden.

Rainbow, Shadows, Reflections and Full Moon

16 Jan

1 Just as we finished singing this morning there was another glorious rainbow across the Penryn River. I love the boats and the flash of blue sky here.

2 Along the road near where I had parked one of the shops had put out balloons. I loved how their colours were caught in their shadows on the wall and in the puddles. Click on any photo for a bigger picture.

3 I just managed to catch tonight’s full moon in the stormy sky before the rain hurtled down again.

Sunrise, Full Moon and Home

19 Oct

1 As the aeroplane flew towards the dawn we caught just one shot through the tiny window.

Dawn over the Atlantic

2 That was followed by seeing the most beautiful full moon.

3 And now we are home after our brilliant adventures around New England! Seeing Truro Cathedral from the train always meant that I was almost home and my Mum and Dad would always be at the station ready to take me, not home but to the sea, usually at Perranporth so that we could walk on the sands together, hear the waves and catch up on each other’s lives over the last term… Lovely memories!

Three Choirs In Trelissick Gardens, Golden Squirrel and Wisteria

25 May

1 After another lovely day with L and Grandbaby B, I came home just in time to be part of the Three Choirs event at Trelissick Gardens: all three of Claire’s choirs singing together on the great lawn, about 100 of us and it was brilliant! The cafe art being done by the artist Carol, whose work I wrote about here, is now finished with a beautiful Tower added to the lovely Wisteria stencils.

2 On top of the Water Tower is a delightful weather vane with a golden squirrel instead of the traditional cockerel.

3 The Wisteria outside the cafe is in full bloom and echoed by the stencils inside (See this post for the photos) Further into the garden and after the concert, I took the last photo by the light of tonight’s full moon!

Last Night’s Moon, Nest Building and A Miniature Horse

27 Apr

1 I was catching up with blogs late last night and discovered Alastair’s post about a pink moon. That made me realise that the moon was just past full. I looked out of the window to discover a beautiful big moon, low in the sky and almost full and so out I went to capture it if possible. I have no tripod so this is far from perfect but I love the way it shines through the foliage.

2 We saw this pair of Jackdaws yesterday. He was working so hard collecting for the nest while she sat there appearing to say, “Well, keep going! That’s not enough yet!”

“Is this enough?”

“Okay! That’ll do for now!”

3 Working in the front garden this afternoon, we heard a soft neighing and looked up to see this tiny horse going by. The owner was very happy to hold him still so that I could take a photo and told us that his name was Boris.

Beautiful little Boris
