The adventures of a shawl

Our orange and lemon trees are now giving us their first 

fruit and a few late flowering bougainvilleas kick off

 early November days nicely...

Τhe opportunity to make the first crash test with my new 

Nikon was given to me on a grey, rainy day. The drizzle was

slowly falling as I was trying to discover new poses for the 

shawl I made recently. It was such fun despite the bad 

conditions. A little adventure, just to try the possibilities 

of the camera’s menu, that’s why there is no homogeneity 

from pic to pic. Some of them are quite satisfying for a 

beginner like me, some others don’t please me enough 

but things will surely improve when I will repeat my task

 with a better light. I want to brush up on my shooting 

skills and get to grips with my new camera. There are 

of course a lot of things to learn but for the moment 

the quality of the photos cater perfectly for my needs. 

The shawl is the twin of what was presented on a Dutch 

blog t-jonge a year ago. No pattern to follow apart 

from a range of detailed photos. Afterwards, I easily created 

this colorful poncho which I will keep in our second home. 

I wish you days that are bright, 

joy that lasts for ever!
