How are you spending your time

[hrguy54]

I have been driving to some of my favorite locations and taking long walks....collecting fossils.

I do it alone so I figure I'm only maybe sorta kinda going against the rules.

So I was wondering if you all think this would work in the river? even looks like me on the right... I might could afford this one

Well , Who would have believed that ? I actually went fossicking in the sun yesterday . And was quite successful to boot ! Will make a post about it

Today I have been making miniature frames to set off our pixelated embroidery’s art works . They was a lot harder the making full size frames .

I was able to make a trip up to the Salmon River on Monday. I fished for about 2 hours and had my favorite section of river all to myself. I managed to hook up with a Steelhead, for a minute or two before it unhooked itself. Today I went to a popular local trout stream. Though there were quite a few people, everyone appeared to keep their distance from one another. I managed to get my favorite spot on this stream to myself, with the exception of the kids who live at the property. The parents have let fisherman access the property providing you stay at the waters edge. One of the boys fished a distance from me for a bit and we chatted. My friend showed up and practiced social distancing by fishing across from me on the opposite bank. It was alot of fun. I landed 5 fish but only kept 3. But there were many other fished that chased my flies, so there was plenty of action.

I got to shovel 8 inches of wet snow this morning.

All our embroideries are framed up and Mrs R painted the wall that they are going to hang  on a really nice purple. A few days work but it is going to look great and make us smile.

Purple is my favourite colour - nice choice!

I’ve been spending my time primarily reading, hiking and browsing TFF. Here are a couple pictures I’ve taken from trail I like to hike near my house the last couple of days.

Sequoia sempervirens (Not sure how to rotate pic on my phone, sorry guys, this is what one looks like when it has fallen down )

 

Next up is a Pacific Trillium,Trillium ovatum, these were popping off like crazy in the understory.

 

Clover! This is Redwood Sorel, Oxalis oregana, it might sound weird but I really enjoy eating this stuff raw, you just gotta makes sure that you pick it off the beaten path. A lot of people walk their dogs around here if you catch my drift.

  
 

Some cool ferns. 

Lady Fern Athyrium filix-femina.

Western Maidenhair Fern Adiantum aleuticum.

And to cap it all off... a cool unidentified mushroom. Maybe a Crimson Waxcap?

Awesome photography. I always wanted to see the red woods never made it that far..maybe one day..thank you for sharing!!!

Part of my ministry is doing photos for non profit organizations to bless.

Yesterday I took my 2 youngest kids to shoot BB guns and then took them to a park in which my favorite trout stream runs through. We didnt fish. We just watched others doing so, while we walked the trail and enjoyed fresh air. Today I wanted to see my older son. Him and his sister (who is my oldest child) live with their mom. Since they live in a different household, I have not seen them as much as I would like as we are all trying to social distance. But it is hard when you have to social distance from your own family. But I know it is in the best interest for everyone. So today I drove over to their house. My daughter was working. My Son David met us outside and we all went for a walk in their neighborhood and when we got back to the house we sat outside and talked for awhile. Atleast I got to see him in person but it was hard not giving him a hug. Same thing happened when I saw my daughter the other day. She works in the seafood department at a grocery store and she told me at least one co-worker had tested positive. She had also complained to me that some of her other co-workers were coughing and not even covering their mouths. I had managed to get my hands on a small amount of masks so I brought them to her job and spoke to her briefly. Before I left I wanted to hug her but I knew that it wasn't a smart decision. I cant believe it has come to this. Despite this I am really trying to stay positive. I just love my family so much and hug and kisses from my kids mean alot to me.

Frames are up they look a little wonky in the picture but look quite nice in our dining room.  
 

safe and sound all. Bobby

Bobby, do you really think it's wise to play favoritism with your loved ones?  You're going to make all the other needlepoints jealous!

Haha we felt we should leave this framed up in the frame it was in the Rijksmuseum.
My favourite is 

‘The Death of Chatterton

Painting by Henry Wallis based on the version in Birmingham museum.
