Blog Give-away and Autumn Colour

Somehow I have ended up with two copies of the catalogue for the New Legacies: Contemporary Art Quilts show that ran this summer in Fort Collins, Colorado.  My piece, Red Stool, was in the show and won an Honourable Mention.  I am giving away my extra catalogue (value $15) to the first person who posts a message to this blog.  So leave a message and I will mail the catalogue to you.

 

Just to keep this post beautiful, here are a few autumn leaf photos I captured around Ottawa yesterday.   I was up at the crack of dawn for an early morning dentist appointment, and arriving too early I stopped at Island Park to photograph these. Colours appear very saturated in the early morning light, but the sky was rather grey.

 

 

 

Photos below were shot late day on the walking/bicycle path running along the Ottawa River near Petrie Island, south of Orleans.  The sky had cleared by then.  I think the leaves will peak here by about next week.



 

 

 

We found a large gathering of Canada Geese at the beach on Petrie Island.  

 

I'm heading to St. Jacobs tomorrow to pick up my show.  Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving to all!
