Birds As A Source For Sweater Colors?

Recently, I've been watching a lot of Wild Earth Safari on You Tube.  Not that I am ever going to go, nor do I really want to, but I do enjoy watching animals and animal behavior in the early mornings or late evenings.

What I have discovered is how much the birds in Africa have me looking at their colors for possible future sweater color combos.

I am seeing combos in them that I never would have thought would go together, while also finding out about birds a world away.

But, also colors I never would have put together, like these below in the Merops.  Beautiful green, orangey red and brown.

It is funny how sometimes, the color of the same bird comes up differently on the tv screen, but also gives color thoughts too.

This Blue Waxbill intrigues me with the sort of light turquoise and gray/brown combos.

So many color thoughts and more just keep coming.

While we are on the subject of birds, I finally found a hummingbird feeder that is bee proof and ant proof this year from Chewy. I have been having a hoot of a time watching a couple of hummingbirds come all hours of the morning into evening.

I, also, am paying attention to how long the water is out there and changing it often.  

Funny how the little things bring moments of Joy.  I hope you, too, are finding those moments.

 

Summer of T- Shirts

 I do love a good knitting tee shirt and when it is hot, isn't it the perfect top to wear when a knitted sweater just is too much?

Here are just a few of the collection I've accumulated over the years.

This one is so me. And I don't apologize for it, nor can I be shamed about the amount of WIPS/Unfinished Projects I have.  It's just me.  And a gift from my friend, Norma, many years ago.

Norma gifted me a lot of knitting t-shirts over the years.  This is another one.  And again, me and maybe you reader, especially if you are retired, and knitting is better than almost any other task I could do.

This t-shirt I bought.  So appropriate during the pandemic when we all were doing and exploring via the internet new things in knitting and in crafting.  And we made it to the other side and still knitting, me exploring avenues in knitting that I never thought I would.

Last, but not least of my t-shirts, this is another one I bought for myself.  Yes, I am a Grandma of five now, but, I don't think my knitting reflects the stereotype of Grandmas of old knitting.

Do you?
