Aunt Bonnie's Sled Ride

Aunt Bonnie had to travel all the way from Laurens to Renton to find suitable conditions for a sled ride. Colette helped pull the sled.

Snow Mermaid

This snow mermaid was inspired by the character Ariel from the movie The Little Mermaid. The customer requirements included the seashell amulet hanging from her neck. Note that the sculpture has an anatomically correct tail.

Yellow Sweater "M"

The name of this sweater is "M"
It belongs to Emma, whose name is 'Melia, also known as Miss Maple.
Note that this photo was taken at 1/5 second with the camera set to adjust for flourescent light, with an incandescent bulb providing the light. It has the best representation of the true color I could manage. You have to feel the sweater to experience how soft it is.

Tree Moss

For years I have enjoyed the healthy crop of moss in this tree. I suppose this will be the last photo of it. I like how the angle of the ladder matches the angle of the power pole.

Windfall Cleanup

All of the branches have been cleaned off the roof and cut back away from the house. Large branches will become firewood or lumber, but smaller branches were chipped and shredded into mulch. The orange chipper/shredder is resting after a hard day of work.
