{ Friday Foto Friends #52 - One Year Linky Anniversary }

I am pleased to join Debbie from Breathing in Grace on her 1 year anniversary of  Friday Foto Friends.
I am joining for a couple of reasons. They are...I love to take photos, and I love for people to see my photos. Being out and about with my camera is like breathing to me. It is something I HAVE to do. Another reason I am glad to be doing Friday Foto is because it is a great habit to develop...getting used to posting on my blog, and possibly making new friends.
A description of each photo is under each photo.
 This is a river scene of The St. Croix River. I cross this from Minnesota into Wisconsin. One morning I need to go into town (Danbury, WI) for a few groceries.
 That morning the river gifted me with a bit of fog, and it's early morning beauty.
 The same morning as the above photos I saw this young bird. He is a young Bald Eagle enjoying his breakfast.
This is an example of the rugs I make. The technique is Knotted Toothbrush Rugs. It is a nice relaxing hobby to have. Sheets are torn into strips and knotted.

Thanks for taking a look at my photos. I hope to do this again next week.

    Wonderful photos!! I've never heard of a knotted toothbrush rug, I like the one in the picture. I might have to look that up and see if I can make one!

      Thank you very much!
      There is a group on FB for the rug making. I don't remember the exact name of the group but it is something like Amish knotted toothbrush rug.

    Hello Trudy,
    I love your photos The fog on the river is just beautiful!
    I have made a few rag rugs by braiding and a few by crocheting. This is the first I have heard of knotted toothbrush style. It looks wonderful! I have to find out more about it.
    Happy to meet you!

    Thank you!
    These rugs are made from sheets. Mostly I picked up at thrift stores. There is a FB group for this. It is called something like...Amish knotted toothbrush rugs. They are a great help/
