TWiP: Leaves

This Week in Pictures, Week 42, 2021

Some weeks you don’t think to take many pictures. And when you do think to take one, it’s of the changing leaves.

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the little (and big!) moments I have captured all week. Some of these images are posted on Instagram, but many aren’t posted anywhere but here. Some days there may be no photos, and other days there may be multiples. It’s more laid back than the Project 365s of previous years. You can learn more here 🙂

Photos taken with 📷 (Canon EOS 80D) or 📱 (Samsung Galaxy S9).

Here’s a very short video, featuring 1.5-second moments from the week:

Monday

Grateful today to be working from home and to have the opportunity to leave my desk for a half mile walk. It’s the first truly autumnal day we’ve had, with just the right amount of cold. All of my senses were engaged on today’s walk. The feel of the wind on my face, the smell of pine needles, the sight of birds gracefully crossing the beautiful blue sky, the sound of gentle music in my ear buds, and the welcome taste of hot coffee upon my return 🧡🤎💛

This is just the right kind of day for @theinnocencemission to accompany me on my walk. I know it’s typical to listen to something with a driving beat when you exercise, but sometimes (often) I feel more energized by peaceful tunes that don’t compete with the sounds of nature. I’d rather pay attention to my surroundings than drown them out. Especially at this time of year.

It’s blanket season again 💗

Tuesday

Looking up through the leaves.

Wednesday

Getting dark
Look what I found in my basement, hiding behind the tub full of inexpensive workhorse wool: a tub of Malabrigo! I totally forgot I had this scrumptious treasure trove! 💗

I need to get some of this on my needles tonight. What should I knit? 🧶 I’m think maybe a scarf of some kind.

Thanks for helping me celebrate the week! If you want to see this stuff as it happens, please feel free to follow me on Instagram ♥
