Let the hunt begin!
Lace
Lacy fungi on the dead tree. . .
Shelf fungus of every sort is a favorite of mine . . .
Lacey lichen - taken on a very rainy ride today. I love the little drips of raindrops.
Bling
The ocean, reflecting the sun, about to set - looks like it is made of purest silver!
Wood
An old boat that used to take passengers from Blaine WA over to a lumber mill across the bay.
The boat shed where the workers would gather to wait for the boat on rainy and blustery days. They now have a restored boat that will take you on tours of the bay.
A long wooden dock - just perfect for a seagull convention. You can see the other side of the bay - so you know it wasn't a long boat ride - but no bridge connecting these two areas.
Fuzzy
What could be more fuzzy than a lamb in a field of flowers?
Fabric
These are portions of a Crazy Quilt that I am making. It is make entirely out of fabric that I hand painted (not dyed, painted) and since it is 100% cotton I decided to only use cotton floss for the stitching. It is only about half done - it is going to be bed size - and I work on it from time to time. A great project for sunny afternoons on the deck with a glass of iced tea, or snuggled up in the winter with a cup of hot tea.

That old boat is such an amazing find! I could probably spend waaaaay too much time photographing it! :)
Well done! When I scrolled to the first photo to illustrate 'bling' it was as though the silver water 'snapped' and I imagined I could hear it. Lovely photos - and the Crazy Quilt is really something!
Wow! That old boat almost looks like an ark. Great set of captures.

I am bowled over by all of your picture. You really got creative. The quilt is beautiful but after living in Maine for so long the boat tugs at my heart strings! You did an awesome job!
Happy Sunday ♥
Loving that boat - oh my!
Everything around that bay would be a wonderful place to explore with a camera!
Great shots!! Love the lace and bling!
I really like the lace shot.
Wow what a creative lace shot! I love it. When I initially saw the list I thought of a spider web but it isn't the time of year for one to be hanging out where I live. And I love the crumbling wooden boat, I love all things crumbly. Great Shots.
Your expert Victorian stitching is beautiful. I hardly see this type of stitching with newer quilts anymore. Nice that you are keeping up the tradition. All your shots were fun to look at -- great idea to go looking for categories. ~~ barbara
Lots of great photos here. I love that old boat. And I love what you used for lace. Very creative.
Wow...that boat is gorgeous! But your quilt amazes me. The colors are beautiful. Happy quilting!
As always, great photos. I my two favorite are the old wooden boat & the breaking wave.
