Beckett's photos

Congrats to my sister, whose book Clara And The Bossy has been nominated for a Blue Spruce Award! The Blue Spruce Award is a provincial primary reading program which brings recently published Canadian children's picture books to Ontario children ages 4 to 7 in kindergarten through to grade two. Students will read 10 nominated Canadian picture books and then vote for their favourite book. Based on student voting across the province, the best picture book is then selected and the author/illustrator is honoured with the Blue Spruce Award. Yay, Ruth!

My friend Beckett recently posted photos she took at OVFF in her Flickr account. Beckett is a fantastic artist and photographer, and has given permission for me to post some of her photos here. You can see Beckett's art at Artbeco.com.

Mary Bertke, at the Pegasus Banquet:





I love the gorgeous lines in the photo above (as gorgeous as Mary herself :-). Beckett is SO great at capturing the essence of people or a scene.

Me, Jodi and Allison:




I *love* this photo of Andrea:




Watching Mary Bertke's band Aisling perform; the fiddle and whistle players kept making funny faces at me because I was so excited:
