I love pollarded trees. Â It is something one rarely sees in the US.
I noticed a lot of these trees in London- they look like they have ornaments hanging from them.
And here is what I’ve been working on. Trees on the mind. I didn’t get much done on my travels.
This photo is from my walk yesterday. Chilly flamingos!
Glad to see you had such a wonderful time in London, although I must admit looking at the first picture in a previous posting, it looked like you must be in some exotic climate.
I went to the V&A in December and had forgotten how vast it was. Could have spend the whole 4 days there but having only visited London once in the last 15 yrs, I just had to look at all the other art work I could cram in 4 days. A Londoner born and bred, it made me very very homesick and just thinking about now, makes me more so.
The babies are looking good. Your creativity is boundless.
Those flamingos – the ones that did not migrate south I guess! Your babies are lovely, like little hibernating buds.
I have been away from blogging for a while and have not checked in on you.I wish that I had because I would have met you in london if I had known that you were coming. I am glad that you found some inspiration here will keep reading from now on.
I love that flamingo photo ! I had never heard of pollarded trees, I had to follow the link and now i feel very knowledgeable.
Oh I have one of those “ornament trees” across the street from me in Brooklyn. I wonder what it is.
Mimi: I am surprised you havn’t made felt emboridered capes for those poor Flamingo’s ! They do look cold. The trees are very interesting. Have never seen one before. and your babe’s are lovely too. Love the trees embroidered on them.

Oh my, I had never seen or known about those trees! Very cool looking!
The tree is called a London Plane. I have one outside my house and did not know what it was called. I hope this helps. Love your blog great inspiration.
