Water Lily

We were in Danville, Illinois to go to a quilt show, so ran on north to the Heron viewing station.  The Water Lilies were up so big, we could hardly see any wildlife.  But oh, were the lilies beautiful.  It was worth it just to see them.

Can't decide which photo...

so be prepared.  I am posting a lot...specially for this blog.  The following are all pictures of the same knife...just different views.

I happened into his shop when he was first making it

And I fell in love with it....

He told me I could have it.

 I offered to trade my other one for it but he told me to keep both...

 He was planning to make this one to sale, instead I got it!  

He is working on one right now for a buddy he worked with for years...after that I should have be able to post a few along that he will be selling. 

Rubbish Tuesday-- from Patton's corner again

I hope this isn't boring for anyone...but I am posting more from Patton's corner.

I figure I might as well throw in 3 or 4 shots since they are all from the same place...

Now for a little change of pace...

the one above from the kitchen.

Linking to Rubbish Tuesday....
