Foto Friday, Silhouette
This past weekend we went on a 4 1/2 day trip to Nova Scotia and home via New Brunswick. Gardening work and unpacking and starting on an article has distracted me (gee, who me?) from blogging, but promise I will. This past week’s lesson and challenge in the Ricky Tims 52 Week Photography Challenge class was silhouette. I tried a lot of things, but due to travel wasn’t at a time/place where I could do sunrise or sunset silhouettes. So I ended up submitting a photo of the rigging of the Bluenose II (the Bluenose original is on the Canadian dime) in Lunenburg harbor. Right click on photos to see larger.

Major thanks to Valerie Hearder, an art quilter in Nova Scotia, for replying to my email and suggesting stops and things to see between Yarmouth and Mahone Bay and Peggy’s Cove. More anon!

Third photo: you got the moonraker. (I was going to send you to the dictionary for that one, but mine doesn’t have it. It is the little flag at the very top.)
I see quilting lines inspiration.
