Studio Tour

Studio Tours are very popular up here in the fall. With the leaves changing colour and the temperature hovering around 26*C it was the perfect day to explore and visit some of the many studios in the area. There is a tremendous amount of artistic talent here and you will not be disappointed with a visit. We stopped at the "Homestead Pottery" run by Lisa Barry a daughter of our friends Pat and Jeff in Haliburton. Lisa is a very busy woman. Not only does she create beautiful pottry but she teaches at the Haliburton School of the Arts, is on the local municipal council, is a wife, mother and daughter; as I said a very busy woman.

Lisa explains to a group of children how the kiln works to fire the clay.

Two of the beautiful mugs we got from Lisa.

Mary is looking forward to seeing this platter on her kitchen counter.

These are just a few of the delicious vegetables we picked up at the Maynooth market this morning. It is the  last market until next spring. We will miss our organic veggies and the ambiance of the outdoor market. 

Just a few shots of the fall colours from Algonquin Park, past their prime, but still worth the drive.

We have seen so many varieties of mushrooms growing in the forest up here, just not sure which ones are edible.

You can almost hear the wind in the leaves and waves on the shore. It was a perfect day to be outside.

Thanks for stopping by.
