Ken and I are so very thankful to have had the opportunity to be led to this amazing province of Nova Scotia. We share your Thanksgiving and know how blessed we are.
@kass You're so welcome and we really appreciated that you came for the evening! We had a lovely Thanksgiving with friends living here from Alberta. We're having another Thanksgiving dinner and all the trimmings with friends around the corner on Saturday. And Ken and I decided to have an "American Thanksgiving" open house in Nov as it won't be long before we return to the states.
@lynnz Thanks, Lynn! You're "a color person"...you'll appreciate this story, I think. A number of years ago I took calligraphy from a well known calligrapher whom I respected immensely. Before beginning on one of our projects, she took a handfull of skeins of embroidery floss and as she lay them down, she asked us to respond to the blending of colors. All went well until she threw down rust, orange, green, and burgundy. Several students groaned and some said they didn't like those colors together. (I, personally, was digging it!) After a pause, she said, "Have you ever looked at a rooster?" She went on to say, just look for inspiration around you. God doesn't get the color palette wrong... That lesson is with me every day, and I love remembering her words!
gorgeous, gorgeous shot, louise. it looks like 3D from here, embossed on the screen and i touched the screen just to make sure my eyes (they're bad to begin with) aren't tricking me. great shot and wonderful colours!
@summerfield Thank you for all your comments! I use my pictures in this fashion to write notes to email friends...my own personal e-cards, if you will. Some turn into lengthy letters, but it's fun to use a photo in this way. (I'm often found photographing a low horizon of trees with lots of clouds or blue above so I can write a letter over it...that sort of thing...)
