Macro Monday – Peaking Through the Snow

…after yesterday’s freak snowstorm

A snowstorm in early November in Toronto is highly unlikely. Yesterday we had snow that lasted all day. The temperature hovered just above freezing and the roads were still warm so the snow melted when it hit the pavement. As the day went on, however, the snow started to stick and it became necessary to clean off the car.

It’s always unusual to see snow when most of the trees still have leaves and now on top of the snow we’re seeing these same leaves starting to fall on this fresh blanket of snow.

Macro Monday – Close-ups of Beadwork

from the Storehouse in London to the Toronto Art Fair

These close-ups come from this 12th century German made banner. The banner itself is not large, roughly 3 inches by 8 inches.

The following beadwork was on the back of a denim jacket that was on display at the Toronto Art Fair.
