Victoria Day Weekend TUSAL


I'm a day late in posting my TUSAL, not only has it been the monthly TUSAL this weekend but its also the IHSW weekend, well its a long weekend here in Canada (Victoria Day... thanks Queen Victoria I love celebrating your b-day!) so I'll post my IHSW progress tomorrow since I still have stitching time left!


So first to the important stuff!  The TUSAL!  We've had a glorious and hot weekend here so my ort jar (vase) and I ventured into the great outdoors for this month's photo shoot.


Every year for Victoria Day I'm very lucky and treated to fireworks in the little village I live in... and they happen to set them off in the farmer's field behind my house!  So I can go out on the back deck (well not much of one really) and enjoy them in my pj's!  This year I dug out my tripod and DSLR and played with leaving the lens open to catch multiple firwork bursts in one shot.  Here's a few of the fun shots I got... if you're my friend on FB you can go see them all there!
