WOW 6th Nov 2013 with Esther http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com

Well I don’t have any thing really to day quilting wise as I’m going to tack my last border to add my last Zig Zags to day and so finally I’m on the last stretch of my Zig Zags.

I have finished making all my tiny pieces for my Zig Zag border number 4 and now making them for the next time around I need about 100 I think so lots of tacking over the next 3 months LOL.

Where I'm up to on my first Vase of flowers.

This morning I took my wee dog for her early morning walk and took my camera along to as there is colour every where in the forest at present so we are all coughing, sneezing and having runny noses. So we pay for all our beautiful  exotic flowers. As I don’t have any quilting to show what I will be doing or have done this week I will share what I saw this morning, these were all taken 100 metres near my home.  I will add them as I saw them.

This is a complete round white ball with these fine bright pink strands covering it like a hedgehog!!!!, it is so soft looking.

Creeper

Palm seeds just developing looks a lot like some ones hair plaited?????

 

This is the local hibiscus you see it all over the local islands of the Pacific

A vine that stops you in it's tracks.

so exotic.

Our local wild passion flower vine which has no fruit you see it covering the bush all around you.

It pays to look up, these trees are so tall there canopy completely covers the road and keeps the road in shade all day long. They can grow up to 60 metres tall and there canopy even wider. Taken on full Zoom

Rain-trees in flower fruit and seeds all at the same time, it is a wonderful time for the bird life now, so nests are been built and the male bird calls are loud and very melodious a wonderful time for all bird lovers.

Wild banana palm bunch of bananas in centre of photo these are not so nice to eat.

Flowers, Fruit, pods, and seeds all within a metre of each other a cassowaries delight.

At least 40 metres above me lots of fruit but not for humane consumption.

Some ones breakfast about to drop, palm fruit comes in all sizes and colour from greens yellows reds to deep purple

Heliconia and wild passionfruit flower.Commonly known as the torch flower and used in large arrangements in the local hotels as they last for week

 

All for today it is 10.30 am now and I did not make it to the beach for breakfast I took the above photo’s of the trees, vines and creepers instead.

 

On Sunday our local rescue helicopter was circling above our home which is just above the Barron falls some one had fallen and was in trouble and had to be lifted to the hospital.

Rescue helicopter in front of our home coming in to lift some on out of the falls.

I'm all ways sad when I heard the search and rescue helicopter as it means a tourist has had a fall on the Barron falls, they are dry now and tourist can not resist climbing down them, come the wet they are quiet majestic.

Off to link with Esther now

. Happy stitching those of you who sew. Cheers Glenda

Update.

I did manage to visit my beach this after-noon, it was rough windy and the sea very dirty but it was still wonderful to walk along it and play in the waves as they rushed up the beach.

Standing in the foam just before it rushes back out to sea.

  1. Glorious flowers! I can see where you get your color inspiration from for your LE. Love your pink zigzags with your background.

    I love all your exotic flowers! so very very pretty. I also like how LE is coming along, I have taken a long break from it and think that break will continue. I want to wait until all the vases and flower patterns are out and then will begin again – also it gives me time to finish other things (and start others as well!)
