Into the blue

At the end of the summer last year,

after the holidays

I wanted to capture the essence of

those warm sunny days...

I started a coastal coloured crochet cushion,

taking it out on our autumnal walks 

so I could crochet the rows.

For a while, once it was finished,

the cushion sat pride of place on the settee.

 Then,

over the course of the winter months,

when I yearned for brighter skies.

Blue seas.

Warm salty air.

 I started another cushion,

also in shades of blues and sea,

sky and sand.

Then there was another,

all reminding me of summer holidays. 

Suddenly, I had four cushions.

All related, all different,

all falling off the hook

during a driech winter... 

Now that spring has landed,

the sun has finally found it's strength and

begun to warm the air,

reminding me that summer is just around the corner...

Friday morning. 

A good time to take photos.

Great light.

Almost that same clear blue light

that I associate with being on the coast.

Happy?

You bet I am :)
