Yesterday I was working on using a flower with a black background. Yes, it is a real flower from my garden, but I cut it and used a black cloth as a background. I just wanted to try something different. And then at about 3 in the afternoon the sky opened up and the electricity went off. We were then without power until about 1:30 AM and we had about five storms go through - waves of rain, hail, and high winds. Well, it is sunny today, so now I can show off my daisy.
It is a quiet Sunday afternoon here and I stepped out into the garden to view a few of my flowers. Just a couple of them here:
We have been having a lot of sun lately for these flowers to catch. Hope that you enjoy them. Jo
I have a little toad living in my garden. I have seen him probably a dozen times now, but finally got a picture of him this weekend. After all, he is a little jumpy. The first time I saw him, I almost stepped on him while shooting a flower. Now every once in awhile when I am out looking at my flowers, he just shows up and sticks around for awhile.
As you know, I love to look at small things in my environment, and also watch the flowers in my garden. I am working on making some more posters of some of the shots. The weather here has been cool and today it is quite gray, so I am working inside. Hope everyone is having a good day.
I have been working with Photo Elements 6 for about a week now and was trying out some things this afternoon. What do you think?
Does anyone know what the colors of roses stand for? Sunday I found this pretty orange rose and had fun shooting it.
This one is for the challenge. A rail to keep critters penned in.
I had to try Lori's trick and see how it worked. This is a neat way to show your work and give people an option to view larger if they want to. Have a good day. Jo
Thank you everyone for the retirement wishes. Give me a couple of weeks and I think that it will sink in. I will be doing some things part time at school yet, but no more full time teaching. I love my garden this year and can't wait to share more of it with you.
Today was the last day of school so it is the beginning of my retirement. I still have a few things to finish up in the classroom - cleaning and such - and then I can relax.
A few flowers that I have shot this week:
I thought that I would try to give an entry to the challenge. I am not feeling real creative right now so I am sure you will be able to guess.
The last two days I have been spending a good amount off time looking at the flowers in my environment. Each one has its own personality, much like people. They also show their age. Here are just a couple of them.
I hope everyone had a good weekend. The weather sure got nice and warm here in MI. I had the chance to take some nice new flower shots.
