It's been quite a peaceful, creative kind of day...I decided that I would get some basic "have-to-do" things out of the way and spend a bit of quiet time just creating, before the busy-ness of the afternoon set in...so I made some charm bracelets (which I have put in my Etsy shop), and planned some bits of the first project I am working on for the book that Linda and myself are planning...this has been the big theme of the week: we have decided to pool our creativity and friendship into a collaborative project: our KNITTING BOOK!! This is something completely new for us, we have no real experience in authoring a book, but we are so excited and determined to make it happen :) The project I am busy designing is very bright, funky and I think will be a really fun "something" to make... I am especially pleased as I think I may have unvented something new, technique wise ;) wooohoooo!

and just enjoy the lovely greenery and atmosphere. I have a rule that I never go anywhere without my camera (because you never know when the picture opportunity will present itself), but for some inconceivable reason, I had left my G10 in the hotel room...stupid! While we were having breakfast a herd of zebra calmly grazed on the lawns, completely peaceful, and I didn't want to miss the pics, so I ran back to the room, got my camera and spent the next 10 minutes getting soaked, but also getting some lovely photos of these stripy little people...

On another note: I have discovered the most AMAZING, one of a kind crochet hooks, beautifully wrought by Katherine Kowalski. They took my breath away...you have got to check it out!
And a happy 11th birthday to dear little Erin, who lives across the road from me, and is one very special girl! Have a wonderful day :)
I wanted to say a thank you to everyone who takes the time to leave a comment and visit here...I don't always manage to reply back, but please know that you are all appreciated!
Have a good evening folks,
Lots of Love,
Heidi :)

Oh Heidi what a wonderful holiday - I'm quite green (and it's got nothing to do with Earth Day) :)
Oh Heidi - you shoot exactly what I would shoot. How wonderful!! The colors are so saturated, I can feel the rain. And the zebras. Amazing. I always wondered how the heck God was able to design DNA that would make stripes that could continue through hair - and such sharp lines to the shapes. I want to learn from him how to do this.
Here is the very funny thing - as I look at this, I am completely at Epcot Center at Disney World, and I am thinking, "How did they achieve this detail?? It looks just like AFRICA!! WONDERFUL!!!" So they must do a very good job in Florida.
I love the Moroccan lighting. We have a friend who is from there. He loves it here, but we love him with his Moroccanness here.
How amazing. If a herd of deer came into my yard, I'd be charmed and amazed. But a herd of striped horses. It's like being in a children's book.
Awesome and colorful photos! What an exotic place. I am feeling a tinge of jealousy...in a good way!
Namaste, Nicole
Brilliant photos...love the Zebras and the colours in the hotel are totally gorgeous!
Thanks for Sharing :0)
Hello Heidi
You don't know me but we have just returned from ZAmbia, I also love to read anything and noticed the Qilika signage at customs. So being a curious cat I researched some and found out the Qilika is a beer made from Prickly Pear (Did you have some Prickly Pear while you were there) lovely to eat but the prickles were nasty sneaky little things.
Had a great time, no rain for us luckily and wasn't it cool to see the animals at the Zam Sun (that is also where we stayed) just wandering around especially I thought the rogue Baboons raiding rubbish etc, I know they are a pest but soooo funny.
