Picture Post

As I mentioned in a previous post, I went on a trip south of the border. So I am going to share a few pictures in with my other ramblings.  There will be quilt related information too. I wasn't making anything while I took my break, but I did think about quilting when something caught my eye.  Thus I do have some inspiration pictures.

First however, I finished block five of the Layer Cake Quilt Along. Here it is:

One of the joys of the Yucatan is the sights that are rare in the states.  We went on a second trip to the flamingo nesting/ feeding area to see these beautiful creatures.  I love the one at the front left - just off center. 

It was such a nice time to enjoy the sun and the water.  We went to a little beach area where sometime in the past a hurricane had apparently demolished a beachfront home.  There were some kids playing in the water and on the wreckage. (Oh to have been young and able to join in the fun!) 

The guy on the wall apparently saw me. His eyes seem to look right into the camera. 

While wondering the streets, I saw this grating on a window.  What did it make me think?

Those lines and shapes would make a great overall quilting design! (see I told you I thought about quilting.)

Finally, after we got home and flew into the Huntsville, Alabama airport,  we drove toward home and saw this:

At least the snowman was smiling at us.  We saw several snowmen; some higher than six feet tall. 

There is still snow on the ground here.  I am thankful for warm quilts.
