Little Traverse Bay, Petoskey, Michigan.  A little jewel of a town tucked away in Northern Michigan.  Tourists and locals alike stroll these docks during the summer evenings, meeting up with friends to see the sunset.  A leisurely stroll back through town, maybe an ice cream at the local shop.  And in the soft shadows, some meander back up the gentle hills to sit in a rocker on their expansive victorian front porch enjoying an evening breeze.  If you are interested in purchasing images of the above, please click HERE.

Colorful Ribbons, Photography by Margaret Bednar

My Blog:  Art Happens NC

The colors in nature were reproduced in natural dyes during (and before) the Renaissance period.  One could even argue that since dying had been going on for over 3000 years, the craft had been perfected by the time the Renaissance rolled around.  Granted, for the peasants, cloth quality and color were primitive, but for the status conscientious nobles and merchants it was quite important.  As I walked around the Carolina Renaissance Festival this year, I adored the detail and color the merchants displayed.  If you are interested in purchasing images of the above, please click HERE.  Thank you.
