Here are some views of "our" park where we walk almost every morning.  The "elephant" sculpture is in the middle of the image.  Our house is on the left edge about in the middle, beyond the chain link fence and the flood control channel.  You can see the cider block wall on the right along the east side of the park. 

 

Still lots of California Sycamore leaves left for the wind to blow around.

Looking the other way (south) toward the only entrance/exit.  This is the zip line  which has two lines, each with a round "seat" hanging from the rail.  I can't  pick the  seats out in this picture, some day I'll take a photo of someone zipping.

 

We did most of our steps this morning due to the threat of rain and we did have a few sprinkles.   But the rain started seriously about 2pm while I was  driving to see  the orthopedist and it has continued the rest of the day and into the night.  So, no walking for KoKo this evening, but I did the cul de sacs alone  to fill out the two miles.    Rain predicted for tomorrow, so we may not be able to walk at all.

From TCQC 03-04-25

 Guess I am not going to be able to post as regularly as I once did.  Of course, my life is a lot less busy and, therefore, a lot less interesting - even to me!  This post is a make up for the one I didn't post on Sunday and shows some quilts from the past. 

 
Red Wave 1 - 4   Diane Firth - Australia  2005  44"L X57"W

Cotton Fabric, Machine Pieced and Quilted.

"Into the Deep"  Diane Firth - Australia  2024   12"X 12"

Black netting on front, cotton layer, white netting on back. 

You can see the light shining through between the cotton strips.  

Diane Firth does some experimental work using unusual materials. I enjoy all of her work and added these two to the Collection years apart.  I have been tempted by many of her creations, but, alas, money and storage space have prevented many more  additions to TCQC.  

I wanted to add a website for Diane, but there are several with good pictures of her pieces and even an museum docent giving comments on a particular piece. Google "Diane Firth, textile artist" to find the websites.
