Finding Yellow in nature

I’m joining Friday Finds today

I’m seeing lots of yellow in the garden lately.  I notice lots of pinks and purples in early summer, but in the bright summery days of July the yellows seem to be everywhere – glittery and golden.

These are the kinds of photos that I’ll look at again when I am tired of winter and its’ too many bleak grey days – a reminder of brighter and warmer days of summer.

Do you like or dislike the color yellow?  I’ve only recently begun to appreciate this color; sometimes yellow can be too warm, brassy, and “attention getting”.   But it can also be beautifully soft and barely there, or act as a highlight when placed next to another color like green, blue, red, orange . . . almost any other color :)

Have a great day,

And be wonderfully odd!

Capturing Emotion - Shy

This week’s Beyond Beyond assignment is to capture an emotion or a feeling.

Even though I take photographs almost every day, I really don’t care to be in front of the camera - too shy I guess :)

I found myself strangely drawn to this ghost-like image.  I really like the movement, the wispy hair, and the ethereal feel of the photo.    

Both photos were textured with a scanned piece of canvas.

Have a wonderful day!

Joining Kim Klassen’s Texture Tuesday today

I love the colors in nature - lush greens and yellowy warm summer sun. 

We have lots of birds that enjoy the feeders in our back yard – such a joy to see them every day.

Have a wonderful day!
