Back in the Shire (photo heavy!)


We've made it back home from our awesome trip to Canada and Alaska, and I'm pretty much over the jetlag too. Needless to say we had a fabulous time and amazing experiences. Here are some photo memories from the Canadian part of the trip, involving friends, critters, and landscapes. I've been in this part of the world four times, and always find something new to do and to see. If you do nothing else in your life, go on this trip! It's fairly easy driving in BC and Alberta, and you might see a bear or five on your travels! Always a thrilling experience.
The impetus for this journey was to visit Quilt Canada, which was a great experience. The Canadian quilts are less traditional than what we see here in Oz, with many modern quilts on display. There were also many unique northern landscape quilts, and innovative techniques such as needle felting and 3D elements included.  Blogger doesn't seem to like me today, so I'll leave you to enjoy the photos and see if I have better luck with some Alaska photos.
