They are quite difficult to catch sight of in this area. What a pity you couldn't take a stroll through one of our Victorian cemeteries. They are crammed full of gorgeous angel statues. Hope you are having a good weekend.

I love watching for the Kingfisher birds when I walk near the creek.<br />You are right the tree would make a lovely needlepoint pattern.<br />Along with sharing a love of old gnarley trees we share a love of angel sculptures. I love walking through older cemeteries looking for olders sculptures.~ Phyllis ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12469317811031836145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179606490232711248.post-2781891306198849572010-08-13T03:09:02.235-07:002010-08-13T03:09:02.235-07:00Thanks Amanda.

I really like your new digital tree image as well, and I agree that I might like it even better with some black added to the background as well.

I haven't ever thought about making my photos into a book but apparently there is a website where you can upload images into a physical book and it is published. It doesn't cost too much either. My nephew has had one done for his photos. Worth thinking about if only I could remember the name of the website.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095469968246647873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179606490232711248.post-13721449811133318092010-08-10T14:44:10.303-07:002010-08-10T14:44:10.303-07:00Hi Cathy, love the charity shop etching - what a f...Hi Cathy, love the charity shop etching - what a find.
