Drapery In The Backyard

THIS DRAPED PANEL of shimmering fabric fluttered in the breeze as it shaded a backyard patio in Sechelt last summer. My word for the letter “D” is drapery and all the descriptions that it brings to mind. This once discarded, deliciously orange, delightfully delicate, drifting piece of silky material got a second chance to make a splash. The dangling curtain dressed in ruffles prettily twirled, dipped and danced on the day its demise was denied.

  7. I am delighted with the dreamy drapery dancing in the dappled sunshine. Great pictures Maria, I ran right out of "D's" though. I am all for reusing things though so this is just "dandy".

  10. How clever of you to spot this DEEtail when passing!


    And what a clever and creative way to make it shady, so much more fun than a regular awning.
