This willow bark container by Katherine would have

This willow bark container by Katherine would have been on display at the Anacortes Arts Festival this past weekend if it hadn’t been canceled. She called this one “Take out” for obvious reasons; made just as the pandemic was starting. Swipe to see photos of the top and inside. You might be surprised to see the woven willow bark on the inside. If she still has the piece next year, it will be part of the show at Arts at the Port. Maybe they will even ask her back to do a basketry demo which she was scheduled to do this weekend.

Paper makers. I spotted this Bald-faced Hornet nest in a quince tree this week. It looks like it is sizing up nicely. I always think of @janhopkinsart when I find one. Hopefully it will be still fairly whole come the fall when the hornets are finished for the year and I can ‘harvest’ it.

Katherine is happy that she can now use her basket

Katherine is happy that she can now use her basket and cloth bags again when shopping at the food co-op. Her shopper is an old faithful companion.

Trust me there’s a Bullock’s Oriole in that Salix daphnoides in the first photo. After missing on the photo I walked over to see what they might have been eating. Second photo shows typical damage from a ‘leaf miner’. These are usually sawfly larvae that eat the inside of the leaves and leave the skeletal remains. The third photo shows another type of sawfly that eats the whole leaf. You can see quite a few in the photo. You usually find them in groups. I haven’t had any major outbreaks.
