Back from the US of A!
Posted on
Well I'm back from 2 weeks in the US where we've been working hard on birds, flowers and butterflies! Here are two of the Western Meadow Larks from Portland....
Then it was a trip over the mountains to Colorado...
...for some time in Denver.
A drive past the blue bear (I have no idea!)...
...for a stop at the Denver art museum...
...to see some of the textiles like this beautiful piece of goldwork!
