I've had a bad week, anyone who follows me on Twitter will already know I hit myself rather badly on the head with my car door on Friday and ended up in A&E (or the ER if you are American). That is the closest I've ever been to knocking myself out!. I think I just have to accept that I am accident prone, coming to that conclusion after sitting down on my sewing needle!
After the head incident, I'd started thinking I must have knocked all the good ideas out too, until a trip to a local charity shop resulted in a couple of illustrated nature books. That helped get the cogs working again.
Kingfishers...,
such beautifully coloured birds,
and Bullrushes.
Not easy to photograph the two together!
Great kingfisher - so glad you didn't lose the pattern!
