Mary Ann climbs a Hill
Up the Hill Steps
Mary Ann and I went for an evening stroll up the hill behind our house.
Spider
The spiders have been busy weaving…

Dome Web
… their sticky domes sparkle and twinkle and quiver in the breeze.
Dry Grass
We loved the light in the grass at the top of the hill …
Golden Hour
…and on the way home everything seemed touched with gold.
Quiet
How lucky we are to step out the door and walk in such peaceful beauty.

Quimper Hittys 
Such beautiful photography.
Thank you – it was a lovely evening, and Mary Ann was happy to enjoy it with me.
The Quimper Hittys and their humans live in such a serene and beautiful “habitat”. The sensation of that beauty actually permeates through your photos and is received by those of us who are privileged observers. Mary Ann’s face is angelic. Love her. Love You.
Mary Ann is a darling girl. She was carved in Argentina, painted and dressed in Pennsylvania, and has come to roost in the Quimper Hitty Cupboard where we love her slightly anxious and yet hopeful view of the world.
ah, such a lovely peek at our beautiful Victoria. Sometimes in the busyness of day to day, I forget what an amazing place we live in. Thanks for the reminder! I bought a bag of scraps last night at my guild meeting, and have some vintage, tiny prints that you might be interested in. Maybe once my kids are back in school we could meet up for a visit.
Sounds like an excellent plan! See you in September!
You are indeed blessed! Thank you for sharing this beauty with us!
We think so too, and we love to try and take photos that give a sense of that appreciation for the loveliness that we find!
I am sooo far behind with keeping up with your blog posts! I will have to try and sit down tomorrow morning to catch up.
You live in a beautiful place, and I just love seeing what all the Quimper Hittys get up to. Looks like Hitty Mary Ann had a lovely time out climbing the hill to see the beautiful view.
It has been a busy summer around here as well – but we do try and take time to appreciate our beautiful corner of the world! The Hittys have been having fun this summer – Tansy off in Haida Gwaii and the rest of them being domesticated at home!
well if I could not live on our farm I think I might like to live in your neighborhood! Wonderful photos and such serenity.
If you lived in our neighbourhood, we could have cups of tea and talk about embroidery and dolls! That would be fun!
Quimper hittys live in such beautiful surroundings – Lucky girls
Such realistic pictures. May I as questions about your yarn for the shawls? Brand, size, where purchased. Thanks.
The yarn is lace weight alpaca, spun in Peru I believe, but bought on San Juan Island at an Alpaca farm:
