Arctic wolves inhabit the Arctic regions of North America and Greenland but are referred to as polar wolves or white wolves. Despite the sheer beauty of these animals, they are incredibly difficult to photograph. They survive in frigid Arctic temperatures.

Anyone who has ever seen an arctic wolf can attest to their beauty, whether in print or person. This is what draws so many photographers to try and capture arctic wolf pictures. There truly is something majestic about these canines that pulls so many people to them. Countless stories, fables, and myths have depicted these animals as courageous and fearsome creatures. While their real-life counterparts aren’t magical creatures in a literal sense, those who have interacted with them may say otherwise.

Yesterday was our first outdoor show of the year. Every year it amazes me how many little details I forget from one year to the next. Re-learning how to pack the car just right, so everything fits securely it a big one. Today, I am all achy from the set up and tear down. I a few weeks, I will be past this feeling ... I hope.

The Madison Audubon Society Art Show has been running for 32 years. They moved to a new location 3 or 4 years ago. It is a much easier set up for the artists. But it takes awhile for the art lovers and buyers to find the new location. It seems that they have now found the new location. Traffic seem to be up from last year.

The forecast was for rain in the morning. But the art-gods must have been smiling down on us, as there was no rain. It looked like we might get wet for a little while, but we lucked out. It got chilly in the middle of the day, but the sun come out and made it all good.

The fair is set up for inside and outside booths. About a 40-60 split, with more outdoors. With a 127 booths, I think this was one of their bigger shows. There is plenty of room to expand, if needed in the future. The group seems to be well organized. And people were buying this year. Sales were not huge, but for us, it was exposing the interested, to an other area show that we will be attending, where they can buy from us.
