Prize-Winning Photos

I just found out today that my bald eagle photo won for best fauna in the Hike the Highlands photo contest for 2009.   I also came second and third in the scenery category.   Here are the winning photos.   I feel a quilt coming on.....

Hike the Highlands is a most wonderful 10 day group hiking experience which occurs every September  in Cape Breton Island.  The bald eagle was along the Coastal Trail, the fishing boats in beautiful White Point, and the third photo is from Fishing Cove.

Cape Breton - wow!

I have returned from my hiking experience in Cape Breton full of ideas.  While hiking over 100k, I took many photos of flora, fauna, people and the outstanding views.   I have posted a few of them here.  I am inspired by the beauty of the land and the warmth of the people.   Hopefully this will translate to more fabric art.
