Weekly Photo Challenge: Lines and Patterns 2

Actually it is a photo of the inside of our round gazebo. This will be it’s 4th winter as our extra room. Victoria is in a rain forest so when it rains ( and that is a lot!) we usually get wet from drips under this opening until today. I had an idea to use binder clips to attach to the frame, pop up the metal clips under the canvas and it acts as a slopped barrier to all but the most stubborn of storms.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside the Victoria Chalk Festival

This last weekend we attended the yearly Chalk festival in Victoria BC, It is all about street chalk drawing. Each artist was given a square to do.

Children were given small square to entice the artist flair.

There was a stage in Centennial Square with traditional native song, drumming and dance. They were fantastic. This was a youth group from the north Island and it was there first performance in public. They did very well. I love the traditional dress.

These lovely woman sang traditional plains Indian songs and they were stunning from the traditional clothing to their collective voices.
