Field Trip ~ Postcards

Each year we look forward to Art along the River in the town closest to our rural home; chalk artists from near and far are engaged by local businesses to create their magic on the street on a Saturday and Sunday in October.  Once again the event didn't disappoint.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous, sunny and warm with a bit of a breeze (you'll see some evidence of this by a few autumn leaves that came to rest momentarily on some of the chalk art.) The event is attended by people of all ages, and plenty of dogs 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, and the shadows cast by buildings and trees but I think this will give you a little glimpse. There were many more in various stages of completion, and along the sidewalks on each side of the street children are encouraged to create with chalk on smaller squares set 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 evening in 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 outdoors preparing the gardens for winter sleep.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend too. Thank you for stopping by!
