Flowers On Friday

cheerful
breeze biting
my cheeks birds calling
only from the trees the ground
stiff the sky adrift

Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up

Photo By: Carrie

I know this is last week’s theme, please bear with me. I didn’t get the chance to post for this challenge until today. Close Up, is a near and dear to my heart. It is probably my favorite type of photographic opportunity.

One Four Challenge- March wk 4

Attempt 4

Attempt 3

Attempt 2

Just Emergence Effect

Attempt 1- Merged

Original

The end of another month, doing this challenge really emphasizes how quickly a week goes by. I have six versions for this month due to the FotoSketcher processing in the first week. There were quite a few of you who enjoyed the Emergence effect over the Merged images, so I thought I would include it in the gallery.

One Four Challenge: February Wk 1

Anther month turning over on the calendar means another photograph to learn from. I decided to challenge myself this month with this macro image. It is of an Ice Plant which grows all along the shoreline here. I have seen the blossoms in purple and yellows. This is a very aggressive plant that is not native to this area.

I live on a hilly, one car at a time, Lane, some mornings I get to walk in my intimate neighborhood, alone.

Dew hold
Your petals defying
Gravity I can catch
My reflection if I look closely
Your buttery folded
Fluffs of royal class

The Garden (Yellow)

More colors from my mother-in-laws potted garden. This time yellow ranunculus and nasturtiums. These ranunculus are exquisite, layer upon layer moving from brilliant yellow to a sage green center.
