we can be alone while in a crowd, and that space doesn’t necessarily hold sadness. being alone while being together can hold peace and insight.

Many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.

Since it's Wednesday...

Hope you have a great one!

Thanks Paul for his lovely texture.

the stores all full of em and its not even halloween yet.

Artistic bokeh with the light at the back. An Experiment.

Although this image was taken in late spring last year, the bunny still lives in our garden. It may not be the same bunny that shows up every morning this week and leaves us little “gifts” in the garden. I wish it was chocolate! I know it is said that it is better to give than to receive. So today I left some fresh Kale stalks and a few leaves for the rabbit. I do enjoy seeing him/ her run free in the yard. The bokeh in this image somewhat resembles golden eggs spilling down. Happy Easter weekend!

Money can not buy everything! For example, the joy of creating my own decorations for the Christmas tree. May you all have a Merry Christmas!

Few minutes before sunset, taking advantage of the sunlight reflections on the water there in the bokeh beyond the wintry grass.

Yes, 'bokeh' is a real term in photography, and while that word has become overused and almost cringy, its visual effect and beauty is a lovely element in photography. The out-of-focus orbs of light give images a dreamy and pleasant look.

This is the first in a series of artistic images that I will be posting. All were created using the online editor picmonkey.com This one features Bubbles in Blue.

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend, everyone...

Have a nice weekend! ^_^

Thanks for views,faves and comments:-))

Der gestrige Tag ist irgendwie gar nicht so gelaufen, wie geplant. Es war nur klar, dass ich gerne den Sonnenuntergang sehen wollte und so bin ich irgendwie bei meinem Lieblingsbaum gelandet. Und weil ich nicht "schon" wieder die Standardperspektive verwenden wollte, habe ich mal was anderes ausprobiert. Die Blümchen passen für mich perfekt zum Baum und zum rosa Abendhimmel.

Story on my Blog

(and This was the texture I used)

San Juan Capistrano, CA

Taken at the bank of the River Neath near Briton Ferry. It is a very industial and derelict landscape but I always find it a fascinating place for photography. Beauty is all around us but sometimes you just have to look a bit harder! HBW

I was outside shooting my daisy image this morning and looked down the street to see the sun illuminating this fence. I ran down the street to capture the fence before the light changed. It's been a great morning.

Happy Fence Friday!

HBW!

A hard one....

HMM.

Because it's never too late to go looking for delicate snowdrops, even at dusk :-)
