Old Flower Photos

(originally from May 2008)

 

Yes, here are MORE flower photos! Oh wow, huh? I actually got caught by a neighbor taking these and we had a discussion on whether I was a painter or not. Apparently her niece was one and she would wander around and take her own reference photographs and the neighbor would say “That’s not a pretty picture” and her niece would tell her “You just wait till I get it done” and sure enough, they always were beautiful when she finished them.

Still one of my favorite photos

had to use flash…. and it shows….

yeah, I did some filtering here 😉

an ant on the peonies – it’s the only time I am jealous of ants. Imagine being tiny enough to climb inside one of those. Wouldn’t it smell beautiful?

Random Spring Photos

(another new post. Hold your breath!)

 

Though I may have bored you with photos in the last post, I thought I’d do it again! (Lucky you!) These will be the last photos you will see from my old Kodak camera, as the tax return has arrived and the Nikon d3100 is officially here! Now to learn to use it….

Just fun.

Lots of curve adjustment to draw that blue out

pretty flowers. involves some colored overlays to get that sunset look

Yes, this is still up – and still lit – at the park. To get this I had to darken the original and manually add int he glow and twinkle on each bulb. Worth it, though.

***

What is this stuff?!?!?! It’s on the evergreens and feels slimy. Some kind of spore thingy?

***

Barbed wire. Used that same overlay tactic again 😉

***

The buggers are hard to get in focus!

***

ditto for this!

***

It’s… RAIN!

***

Weathered boards

***

Grating

***

It’s actually gone down some….

and more rain!

Wasn’t that fun? I have a lot more of the rain drops, but I will spare you 😉 As always, there’s lots more photos in general on my Flickr account. The link is in the sidebar over there —->
