Out of the Stables and Into the Palace

Grand entrances.

 

The Bottom Edge

I am so very close to being done. Only the bottom edge and backstitching to go.

 

Starting the First Real Flower

After all the cream and green, time to add some blue  to this. It's much lighter and brighter in person, I promise.

 

TIme to Play with Squares and Color

I went so off the reservation with this pattern. Now it's a bit of color play in the squares.

 

Starting the Third Color

Working my way through this. Black and red are done. Time for white.

 

Omaha Beach Memorial

The blocky memorial was emplaced on the 25th anniversary of D-Day. I think the metal one was put in for the 75th. I remember it not being there the first time I visited. Both are so small and the beach is so large and so many soldiers died taking it.

 

Random Road Lunch

I -think- this is from Stettin. Not quite sure. It was definitely an interesting looking lunch. I didn't like the salad I ordered much.
