how about some simple images from vacation?

Awesome.
Where were you? You could have maybe stopped by for coffee.

I like that first one the best.

these were the pictures I took that led me to the concept of the embroidery. I am consistently looking for the next thing to embroider.

sunset in Botswana

Ah well. You were close - but not close enough.
African sunsets are usually stunning. I'm sure you had a fabulous time.

Sorry AlisonB this trip was a few years ago. 8 of us experienced 3.5 weeks of Tents (from permanent structures to ones that moved with us with bathrooms/showers attached on the back to pups over elephant droppings), lodges (from up in the trees to private homes, etc) Took the blue train from Pretoria to Cape Town and a helicopter over Victoria Falls as well as small fast boats in the Okavango Delta Thank goodness for digital cameras since I alone took over 5500 images!

I would still like to embroider many of them. I want to sew a large BaoBob tree and then order stock animal designs and sew them all around the base. "Creative use of Stock Designs" used to be a competition category. No mas.

All from Digitizing!!!

There is the BaoBob tree. I am the one with the melon. Table Mountain with our Tour Guide.

Wow. You have done more than most of us here in the country. If you ever come back you can let me know.

yes, very lucky. I have recently moved to the US / Mexican border region but for years I lived in San Antonio..... amazing how many locals have never been to the Alamo!

But in college in New York it seemed like the landmarks there were never visited.

I capture mine in thread. craZy.
