Hello! :) We're in the midst of an autumn rainy season here in Ontario, so every hour of sunshine is a great mood-booster. I've been taking so many photos of the beautiful landscape here, which includes apple orchards and pumpkin patches, and forests full of the season's burning colours. Pretty soon I'll be taking pictures of our first snow, which I do every year, although I know the novelty of "that white stuff" will soon wear thin! Have you been taking pictures of your local scenery? Gearing up for what comes after Hallowe'en... the weeks of running around and dealing with the merriment of the holiday season... I've written an article on how to share your best photographs as gifts: Quick and Thoughtful Gifts Using Contact Sheets Quick, easy, and personalized gifts by making contact sheets, using your favourite photographs, a printer, and some sticker or photo paper. http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art36751.asp/zzz Of course, these ideas work throughout the year for any other gift-giving reason, or to treat yourself with a present you've made with your own photographs.
