Sunday Postcard Art: Fruit

Sunday Postcard Art: FruitI've been meaning to take part in some of the challenges I have listed under Weekly Inspiration here on the blog, but today is the first day I've actually taken the time to check out the list.  I'm going to try to do at least three challenges this week.  Wish me luck!

The theme at Sunday Postcard Art for this week is "Fruit,"and the first thing that came to mind was a clump of fresh, sweet, juicy strawberries (which is kind of odd, because raspberries are actually my favourite berry.  And are berries even fruit?  I'm over-thinking this).

Speaking of fruit, I stumbled across the most incredible picture this morning on Our Bear River Adventure, a blog I read regularly.   Even though, logically, I know it would be one huge mess, a part of me feels an irresistible urge to just dive right in!

In other news, Hurricane Earl turned out to be less of a "Big Bad Storm" and more of a "Big Whoop-ti-doo."  He changed his track just before coming up the Bay of Fundy, and we barely got a rainy gust of wind here and there.  I'll be honest -- I was a little disappointed.  I don't want people to get hurt, and I don't want damage, but a little more "oomph" would have been appreciated.

To be totally honest ... I was a little disappointed too! :) Think it was the tremendous build-up and then the anti climax. A non-event. For sure, I don't want anyone to get hurt or wish for any damage either, but this non-event was weird. At least the heat and humidity is gone and for that I'm extremely grateful.
