As you can see I was fascinated by this fern. It takes on many different forms before the leaf has fully evolved
Another trip to Scotland this weekend in the Van and it was up the East Coast this time round and the most northern point visited was Portknockie where you will find the Bow Fiddle Rock

A perennial participant in the Doors Open Winnipeg event, the Fox and Fiddle restaurant and bar is a prime example of rejuvinated banking halls taking on new roles and vitalizing downtown Winnipeg.
This was originally the Bank of Toronto building, a latecomer to Winnipeg's Bankers Row. It featured a white marble facade and ornamental cast iron window perimeters.

My favoutite fiddle resting before I played one of my favourite laments, "Lonesome Eyes", while the sun went down. Here is the original version by the late Jerry Holland:

According to my dad, this violin was either made or repaired using a Finnish sauna to help bend the wood. Before seeing if the local museum is interested in taking it, I thought I would see if I could take some decent photos of it, so I played around with my new D7000 and a desk lamp for lighting. I don't normally do still life but I really enjoyed playing with the light.
