cottage sunrise




Sunrise this morning.


Thanks so much to Allison for alerting me (through her LJ) to the fact that Sara's story was in the Toronto Star today! You can read it online, but apparently the print version also has a professional illustration as well as Sara's photo & bio. If anyone out there has copies of the Toronto Star, pleaseplease save copies for me? If I was home right now, I'd be picking up a big pile. I would be happy to pay you for the copies. Thanks SO MUCH! Update: many thanks to Allison, Reid & Luisa, John & Kristen, Ray for getting/saving copies for us! I'm bursting with pride, of course...this is my niece's FIRST PUBLISHED (and paid!!) STORY. Sara was one of the winners in the Toronto Star short story contest, which drew over 2,304 entries (her story won in the 9 and younger age category).

I took the photo above this morning from our cottage dock. I've had the occasional person ask me what I do to my cottage sunrise photos to make them look so dramatic re: Photoshop doctoring-up, and my answer is: NOTHING. The sky is simply just that gorgeous. Or rather, more so...I find that photos can't do the real thing justice.

Hope you all had a good weekend! More cottage photos/details soon. Right now, I'd rather go outside and enjoy than write about it. :-)
