It's a River

Even though all these pictures show the water as wide as an ocean, it's actually a river.  Montevideo sits about seventy miles inland from the South Atlantic.  The Rio de la Plata is the widest river in the world, and you can see that in the pictures.  When you get to Punta del Este, the point where the river meets the ocean, you can really see the difference in water color from brown river water to blue ocean.  And yes, the water here is brackish and tidal, too.

Three Starred

One Gilded

I finished the backstitching on the top acanthus leaf motif.  The corner is also coming along a bit.

Scenes of Summer

Yes, I know it's winter up north, but this is how the end of my street looks this month...

A Small Project

Linear Progress

Another Tabla del Campo

A few weeks ago, we had a tabla del campo in the local mall.  Here's how it arrived.  It's the Uruguayan equivalent of antipasto.
