Busy Busy Busy

It was a crazy, but eventful, weekend around here. Last saturday and sunday I participated in a local art show (Arts Alive) in Falmouth. We didn't exactly have the most luck with weather, but overall we had a pretty good turnout. I got to meet some really interesting people...
Here's a picture, my husband took, of our table where we sold Matted Prints, Framed Prints, and Gallery Wraps. Of all the products I brought to the show, the Gallery Wrap was by far the most popular. I lost count of the number of people who stopped by the table to talk to us about it. Everyone seemed so suprised to find out it wasn't a painting, but a photograph printed directly on canvas. I have been really pleased with the way the Gallery Wraps turn out. I currently have four of them on display at my exhibition at the Inkwell Bookstore. I sold the Gallery Wrap in this picture to a very nice family vacationing on the cape.

In other news, this past sunday, we learned, was not only father's day but the Portuguese Festival of the Holy Ghost. Starting at around 10am, a parade for the festival marched down our street... Its not every day a parade with a marching band walks past your house... here are some photos I snapped while they walked by...

The Summer is a reminder...

... of why I live in Cape Cod.  Lately, there have been more beautiful days than icky ones here.  There have been so many opportunities to go out and take amazing photographs all over Cape Cod.  Here are a few of my favorites from the past week...

"Quissett Harbor"



"Oyster Pond Dock"

This guy was in our backyard after a rainy afternoon... my elementary school science education was severely lacking, so I had no idea where snails get their shells.  Wikipedia informed me that the shell of the egg they are born out of becomes their first meal, and part of their shell... over time as they grow, the shell gets more and more spirals in it... the bigger the shell, the older the snail.  This snail's shell was only about a quarter inch... 




many more Cape Cod photos coming soon... And check out my installation at The Inkwell Bookstore during June and July...
