Summer Delights...!

I have been having a beautiful and radiant summer! Here are some blessings that I have been enjoying...

....Crocheting... oh yes. I finally, finally learned how to crochet. I have been reading so many books on how to crochet. But I never understood any of them and could figure them out. I saw some videos on lion yarn's website and I actually understood what they were saying. Now I know to crochet. It is so much fun!

     Here is one of my more neat looking squares. It's not perfect. But it is a good test square. This is not one of my friendship squares. :-) I am going to crochet a bit more first.


                                    A smaller square.

          I tried doing circular crocheting. It's hard. But I just got to keep crocheting! Practice, practice. :-)



                                                     ... I have been enjoying these....



....Photography...

 
      I have been seeing so many butterflies at our butterfly bush... mostly this kind of butterfly.

                                               

      This one is so lovely... it took me a while to actually capture it, because it kept flying away.

I have a picture of a butterfly that looks very similar to this one, that I took in 2008. Swallowtails are stunning

                                                               ...Watermelon...
                                               Yum. This colorful fruit is the picture of summer...

  Although I love drawing, I haven't been drawing too much this summer.

My sister Maggie on the other hand has. :-)
She is very talented and a great artist.
I have really been amazed by my sister's breath taking
pencil drawings and watercolor paintings.

I hope you all are having a lovely summer! 

What fun things have you been doing? :-)
