Photo Inspiration for Fibre Art...

The other day, while out for a walk, I came upon this wonderful wall of vines and stunning red leaves.

 

And that was all the inspiration I needed for a new piece of fibre art!


I hope to start this piece soon.  I'll show you the progress as it comes together.
Have a fabulous week!

Creating My Own Autumn Tones...

It's been a while since I've had a chance to get back into my year long photography group/class Beyond Beyond with Kim Klassen.  I'm actually a few weeks behind, but decided to play with this week's lesson ideas (I'll get caught up on the others soon, I hope).

Working in Lightroom, I've taken a couple of images that I shot in the summer and following some of Kim's tips, I've played around to create an autumn feel to them.

I was able to add a nice, warm glow to the images, and yet, nothing beats the wonderful fall colours I captured in these images, which I took last fall while up at the cottage.  With the incredible forecast for the next week or so, I sure wish I was up there and not down here in the city!



It's always a good idea to look up when you're surrounded by beautifully colourful trees.  The contrast of those magnificent leaves against a bright blue sky is not to be missed!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

This past week, the colours in the Almaguin Highlands were at their peek.  On the bright sunny days, with the sun highlighting the intense spectrum of colour it showcased the most extraordinary Autumn palette!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
