On The Towpath

I'm not really sure what to put on this week, as I have been away.  I have a few knitting ideas, but they are still just in my head. Sorry about my lack of comments last week, but I was struggling with my son on our canal holiday to get my hands on my husband's phone, and then we kept going out of range.

So here are just a few nice photos that I took when walking along the towpath. I have been assured that photography is a craft. I'd love to be able to label some of them, especially the strangely beautiful growths on a wooden bridge. Are they lichens?




















I'm going to get back on track for next week, although as my mother is coming to visit, so I'm not quite sure how that will work out. Happy crafting.

    What fabulous photos, I think my favourite is the ring of lichen. I would LOVE to do a canal holiday, it sounds so peaceful and laid back, but maybe you know different!

    Wonderful photos! I hope you had a relaxing holiday - I would have thought just the pace of life would be enough to slow you down :) It sounds perfect to me!

    Sounds my idea of a holiday, just lazing about on the river!
    Yes, it is lichen. What lovely photos you have taken.

    The forms lichens make are so fascinating - I have many photos!
    I love the dandelion clock, they are beautiful (except in my garden!)

    Amazing pics! I love the lichens - the leafy type ones mean the air where you were was really pure too! I love going out and looking a plants and flowers and using them as inspiration - hope it inspires you too
