Just a couple of steps north to DownEast (yes, DownEast is truly is NorthEast), and the landscape is ever so slightly different than what's outside my own door. Just enough so that I noticed throughout our week, and marveled at the color - the rich lush moss, and all the green.
I might be particularly noticing this right now, as I've been spending a lot of time visiting The Art of Embroidery again. This book amazes me - full of beautiful inspiration from nature and then the translation to art and craft through embroidery.
There's a bit of embroidery instruction included in the book, but I
think it's best use is as a beautiful reminder of the inspiration that
really is all around us - everywhere. Grass, moss, fern, leaves.
Everywhere and Anywhere. It's there.
and a little more green today from my flickr favorites:
