An unbelievably cool day.

All art galleries, all the time. Here's Taylor at the AGA, where we very much enjoyed the Goya prints, the Janet Cardiff and George Burgess Miller sound installations, the Degas sculptures, and the Yousef Karsh photos. Re Karsh, Imagine being privy to all those amazing people, from Audrey Hepburn to Winston Churchill, Desmond Tutu to Grey Owl, Glenn Gould to Einstein, Martin Luther King to Nehru, the Queen of England (she was a princess at the time) to Karen Kain.

I need to get back to the Alberta Gallery of Art before this show changes.

After 9 (yes, 9!) art galleries, we were off to the Carrot Community Arts Coffee House, in my neighbourhood, and Tay played her original composition "How Deep Does The Ocean Go?" and sang for the crowd. (I played a few ditties, too.)

At the Karsh exhibit, there was a "studio" set up where one could take their own portraits, then e-mail the to their computer. So neat. Mine is below.

And here I am in front of some of my favourite pieces of the day, at The Front Gallery on Jasper Ave. The artist is Doug Jamha.

(The above and below photos were taken by Taylor Leedahl.)

Below is Taylor's Karsh photo. I love it.

After the galleries, the Carrot, and the Farmer's Market on 118th, we had dinner with Greg, then the three of us walked back to 118th to see the contemporary, Edmonton-set play "The Gift," written by Collin Doyle and Jeff Page. Two thumbs up, and we were especially impressed with actor Amber Borotsik. (Wish I had time to post a decent review, but I'm running out the door, and am Saskatchewan bound.)

Until next time, amigos.
