….finds outside the art gallery
The McMichael Canadian Art Collection Gallery is situated in the middle of a wooded paradise. It is surrounded by trees, plants and nature trails. The perfect place for nature close-ups.
….sculptures from the Sculpture Garden at the McMichael Gallery

Mary Anne Barkhouse (born 1961) and Michael Belmore (born 1971), lichen, 1998
In this work, the artists address issues of nature versus culture. The role of wolves in this setting is symbolic. They are positioned like silent sentinels.
The following sculptures are all part of the Sculpture Garden which was established in 2011. The nine sculptures, donated by well known Canadian artist Ivan Eyre, is part of the McMichael’s permanent collection. Eyre is perhaps best known for his large landscapes and mythological paintings.

I’ve always been fascinated with Lichen. Those dusty colours and frilly textures are very appealing to me. I had to go back into the archives for these shots.
…I love taking macro shots
Our last weekend at the cottage. I took a few moments to search for interesting macro shots of nature.
….away for a few days without internet….trying to catch up now that I’m back home
More images from the cottage.
…thanks to Irene for hosting Macro Monday
I’m posting the photos taken from a distance first and then I will show you the macro shots. I was at the cottage for five days and had fun looking for macro subjects.
