Drat!

My camera's playing up, so I can't post the picture of the overdyed wool-silk yarn I wanted to show off today. The yarn is leftover from the Engagement Gift blanket. I have several odds and ends in that bag. They'll be great for making cosy little winter accessories, but it wouldn't be fair to expect some-one to wear a leftover bit of blanket, however nice the yarn might be, so I'm spicing them up in the dyepot. This hank has morphed from a lime green to a strong emerald green with the addition of Landscape sky blue, but the camera just makes whirring noises. So, sorry, no pic. And I must add getting the camera fixed to the list of things to do in the next few days. Drat!

The Sky Above

I love these trees. Their bare branches against the sky are such a contrast. And some days I need the reminder to look up. Yesterday was one of those days. I guess the photo is proof that I did remember to look up--and even pulled out my phone to capture the image.

It's turning out the way I predicted with the phone camera: I'm getting to take photos in situations where I never would have had a camera with me. In the midst of enjoying that convenience, though, I do find myself wishing for some of the features of my real cameras.
Aren't I a contrary creature!
