Autumn's End

It's almost winter.  Photos taken on Nov 8, about a month ago.

See My Work at the World's Largest Quilt Show!

These 2 photos are part of the 2011 "Eye of the Quilter" exhibit at the International Quilt Market & Festival in Houston, Oct 29- Nov 6, 2011.  Both photos are full-frame, unedited compositions.  Much as I love to go places and take photos, both of these were taken in my own back yard!
