several small journeys

a tangle of cobwebs, some of them are the regular ones i.e. similar to a basket base, others are like bags or hammocks, I wonder if these are woven by different type(s) of spider:

 after breakfast Marjan, Django and I went for a walk along the Schoonrewoerd Wiel (lake)
of course Django went for a swim; the weather is amazingly warm and even though we were tempted we humans didn't enter the water, content in throwing sticks for retrieval and enjoying the occasional spatter from a shaking dog

a willow with additional life forms

 we came across an old orchard with old fashioned fruit trees (hoog stam) where one has to climb a ladder to pick the apples, as illustrated above; a group of elderly men were picking at a leisurely pace and although they did not offer us coffee, they did offer us each an apple

 two shirts I've been revamping: the top one's black (although it looks grey) and here I've removed the collar and half of the cuffs, these have all been kantha'd with a running stitch; there are lots of seams which I've emphasized with again running stitch with a couple of small journeys back & forth between the verticals; below is a linen shirt, already a good colour, here I've lengthened the sleeves with pinkish bits of cotton (still have to do more sewing there) and I've printed on the front and again added stitches to the collar, there's also a small boro scrap on the back where I tore the shirt, quite like that kind of accident.
