Putting the blues block together was fun. I was wondering how it would look with the purple but the purple batik seems to work with all the blocks.
There’s something about the backs of these blocks that fascinates me. I find myself staring at the photos of the backs, thinking about duplicating them in some fashion as the front of a block.
Tuesday afternoon we looked out and noticed a bird sitting on top of the stack (or whatever it is) on the theatre roof on the roof garden. It’s a peregrine falcon. There are many around here as they seem to like to nest in the high-rise buildings in this neighbourhood. One of our neighbours is involved with a group that watches out for these falcons and moves in to help if one of them is in need of assistance.
If you click on the photo and look in the middle you will see the falcon.
Smudge posing yet again for the camera.
And one of Lester in his favourite spot — on the windowsill:

Another beauty Cathi!! The falcons were common in Seattle too. They had the annual falcon watch every night on the news. They help to control the pigeon population.Crispy

We watch the falcons in Columbus Ohio. They have a web cam so you can see them when ever they are on the ledge or in the nest box. I love watching them.
