The trail down to Grandview Beach. I'm going to see if I can get myself organized to go down there for sunrise sometime this week. It isn't often that you can park on the street legally in time to catch the sunrise. One of the few perks of the time change. #photography

To me, the tree roots look like creatures emerging from the Bay. #photography #beach

#ShowMeYourKnits lace week. Knitting gives me joy because although I am slow and my tension goes wonky, I can still do it. I have essential tremor and no feeling in my hands, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to. Lace hides the tension issues pretty well. KnitPicks Palette 🧶 #knitsky

I've reached the end of my pictures, and now I'm going back to the beginning looking for pictures I passed by. These are naturalized crocus that we started in 1990 with one bulb at the base of a sapling. 2/3/2012, so they were sprouting early that year. #photography

I didn't keep my pattern names attached to the pictures, but I know the yarn is KnitPicks Palette. Perhaps @kww.bsky.social can get me a picture of it in the wild, off of a multi-colored blocking board. #ShowMeYourKnits lace edition. #knitsky 🧶

I went out to Fort Monroe on 2/13/26 for the Great Backyard Bird Count. You'll notice the total lack of birds in this picture. I saw very few that morning. This happens to be a picture of three buffleheads that dove when they sensed the camera. #photography

The Melt the Ice hat on the blocking board. Didn't need pinned, it laid out to the right size without them. #mtiMAL 🧶

Frigid sunrise at Fort Monroe beach. Sometimes the effort of getting out there is barely worth it. Not a spectacular sunrise. The beach with the drifting snow was interesting. #photography #sunrise

Melt The Ice hat finished today. Now to finish the yellow scarf. #mtiMAL #knitsky 🧶

Yesterday's update for #mtiMAL I was visiting and didn't have time to post. I should finish today. 🧶

Still the Solstice Sunrise 12/21/25. It was an ever-changing morning. #photography #sunrise

Another of the Solstice Sunrise 12/21/25. #photography #sunrise

Quick update on the #mtiMAL I'm a slow knitter, especially when I'm off visiting my Mom and oldest brother. I should get through the ribbing and start on the decrease section today. #knitsky 🧶

Solstice Sunrise, 12/21/25, Mill Creek. The end of the longest night in the year. #photography #sunrise

For a slight change of pace, a sunset. This is 12/20/25, Solstice Eve, the beginning of the longest night of the year. It is hard to find a vantage point for a sunset around here, I need to investigate further away. Problem is, parks close at sunset. #photography #sunset

Today's progress report on the #mtiMAL As usual, adulting got in the way of knitting. 🧶

Weird coincidence - I posted a picture of a sunrise at the Seawall from 5/2/25 this morning. Then hours later One Drive pops up a picture of sunrise at the Seawall taken 14 years ago today - 2/22/12.

Same sunrise, but this time at Fort Monroe #photography #sunrise

I think my yarn got motion sick on its way to me. I now have that straightened out and the first inch of hat done. I'm trying hard to trust the math, but that surely is too tight to stretch comfortably to 22"? #mtiMAL 🧶

We now jump forward to May 2025. I'm running low on pictures and in 2025 there are only a couple of sets of sunrises and sunsets left. This is one of my favorite quick locations, Mill Creek. #photography #sunrise

Got tired of waiting for my red yarn to arrive. I'm doing the gauge swatch on a scrap of Patons Classic Worsted in a different color. #mtiMAL #knitsky 🧶Anyone else interested in joining our small Melt the Ice Makealong? All knitters and crocheters welcome.

Crocus from last February. Waiting on this year's. #photography #FlowerFriday

The beach at Fort Monroe at sunrise. Last shot from that morning. #photography #sunrise

Sunrise over the Chesapeake at Fort Monroe. Same morning as yesterday's post, I can never choose just one. #photography #sunrise

Nudge to my #knitsky and 🧶friends - the protest color for No Kings is yellow. If you are going to participate, perhaps get yellow yarn for a scarf or hat now, while it is abundant. I'll be wearing my Melt the Ice hat and a yellow scarf. Got my yellow yarn ordered today. March 28th is the date.

#WIPWednesday This is one month's work on this sweater and I am finally on the colorwork yoke. I have learned many things. Chief amongst them is that the next time I try this, I'm doing a top down sweater. #knitsky 🧶

Reblooming iris are fun, because then you get flowers in December. #photography #flower
