Free Backgrounds

On one of my many walks I had my camera with me and a few things caught my eye.  I thought these would make neat backgrounds.  I believe you can right click on the images and download them to your computer.

Assiniboine Park - Leo Mol Sculpture Garden, English Garden

Today was such a beautiful, sunny, summer day and I took the opportunity to go to the Assiniboine Park here in Winnipeg.  There are so many things to do and see even if you want to just relax and watch a cricket match.  My main interest today was to go to the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden .  It is such a pleasure to look at all these fine sculptures.  My photos in no way do the statues justice - that's for sure, but I have included them below.  There were so many more sculptures and scenes - but next time.  You can also see better pictures by clicking on the links in this paragraph too.  While I was there I was lucky enough to sit in and listen to a jazz quartet do a open air show - it was wonderful.

Thought this might make a good 'art' picture, hmm!

Here is another swap piece for the Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium group on Yahoo.  This is mail art.  I drew the image on the front and back of the envelope and coloured it with copic markers.  Sorry I blocked out the addresses.
