Field Trip ~ Postcards

Each year we look forward to Art along the River in the townclosest to our rural home; chalk artists from near and far are engagedby local businesses to create their magic on the street on a Saturdayand Sunday in October. Once again the event didn't disappoint.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous, sunny and warm with a bitof a breeze (you'll see some evidence of this by a few autumnleaves that came to rest momentarily on some of the chalkart.) The event is attended by people of all ages, and plenty ofdogs of all shapes and sizes.
Capturing the artwork with the camera is a bit of a challenge with all of the people also interested in getting a look, andthe shadows cast by buildings and trees but I think this willgive you a little glimpse. There were many more in various stagesof completion, and along the sidewalks on each side of the streetchildren are encouraged to create with chalk on smaller squaresset aside just for them.  I hope you enjoy!


















 The following was one of my favs . . . and note to self:The ones in the shade make the most vivid images.






A quick bite for sushi at a favorite spot, then home for an eveningin front of the fire, (the temps are getting very chilly at night,the duvets went on the beds this weekend ~ ahhh!)
It was a very enjoyable day after spending Saturday outdoorspreparing the gardens for winter sleep.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend too.Thank you for stopping by!
