Hard and soft
The ditch beside EADS Composites Atlantic caught my eye on a lunch time walk. I lingered for a moment, soaking in all the nice yellow and white flowers and grasses growing in abundance.
It was only when I looked at the image on my computer that I noticed the clouds and the contrasting hard lines of the factory, enjoy!

The first rule of hanging with the boys in the stands and watching the horse pull: no smiles.

The Big Ex 2011: The folks....
I had a great time at The Big Ex this year, wandering through the animal and craft barns, checking out 4-H projects and all the funny belt buckles and hats for sale.
This year I decided to focus on the people. Here are some folks checking out a horse pull.

Big love for The Big Ex

In honour of our local agricultural fair, here's one of my favourite shots from last year...now in glorious monochrome!
