Photos - In search of Old Quilts

I went to Fort Edmonton in hopes of getting some good photos of old quilts.  I was not very successful. Most of the beds and quilts are not the focal point of the display and therefore at an angle that makes it not easy to photograph.  Some had wrinkles in them that made the picture not very good.  The fort itself only had Hudson Bay blankets on all the beds.  On the up side the straw flowers were gorgeous. I got several in different colors.  The top left hand photo is an art installation near Fort Edmonton of these reflective balls.  I've been wanting to take pictures of that for a while so a good day all the way around.  The sun was warm, the breeze provided refreshing bit of coolness, and the walking was good.

Photo - Fort Edmonton Park

I took a photo taking trip to Fort Edmonton Park this weekend with a full day for me. It's been several years since I last visited. Meanwhile, they have added the MidWay with the Carousel and Ferris Wheel being the highlights. I did take a ride on the Carousel. Aren't those restored wooden horses great? They are gorgeous. The line was long for the Ferris Wheel and the squeals coming from the riders made me think twice. Maybe next time. It's not that high.

I'm working on a photography project and this place offered a lot of great pics. More on that later.
