I know I'm a few days late for the #handmade #DailyPictureTheme , but it just hit me that I should use my hands that handmade my hands as a proper post for the topic. This was accidental, my gel polish looked too harsh colored and I painted the brown gold which has flaked off artistically.

A terrifying leaf #skeleton (Yes, that's what it's really called, I just learned that) -cast down to the earth in ignominious decay. The other foliage is shivering in dismay and fear. 😱 #DailyPictureTheme

This is that time of year, when the sun skitters across the top of Mt. Rainier. I caught it yesterday and today in the two grooves of my tri-tip mountain view. First time ever catching it. I'm shocked that it moves so fast. - time to celebrate with a #pizza #DailyPictureTheme
