Concordia

I wanted to show you something.



Remember my favorite quilt The Concordia?  By Nancy Purvis in her book Quilts by Design.

I was going through my photos, trying to do some sort of organization.  Which so far has been hopeless.

If you have a better system you have a social responsibility to let me know.

But I digress...….

I was going through some photos and remembered about the pelicans.  Every year around October the American White Pelicans use the flyway to head to their nesting grounds.  They stop at the LSU lakes and feed on the heavy vegetation and fish in the lakes.

They offer us a gorgeous sight if you are lucky enough to be able to head to the lakes around campus and the weather is good.  Last year everything was perfect and I was able to spend about an hour photographing the birds.

I immediately recognized the pattern used in the Concordia Quilt.  See what you think.
