Yes, I know it's not yet springtime. Three more weeks to go still. But the beautiful sunshine makes hope spring eternal. We are having a glorious weekend of perfect spring weather. Finally! That beautiful engagement proposal yesterday makes me want to be Abby's bridesmaid!

When I saw Kim Klassen's texture "Embrace" I immediately remembered a photo I took a year ago. The Texture goes well with it...

7 Days of Shooting - Week #21 (w/b 26th November) Low Vantage Point: Get down on the ground or as low as you can possibly go to catch this week’s photos. Or you might be lucky and use a tilted "live view" on your camera ~ we are not looking for you to be standing and shooting upwards! Down low and dirty, this week!!

These colors make me so happy... :) Where two arts combine in one...

The pencil should always have a nice point for nice writing!

This toy Koala was hidden in the branches of a Scribbly Gum, quite high up. With all the rain we've had its fur almost looks like wood.

[7DOS] - Half as good - Texture Tuesday

"How did it get so late so soon?" — Dr. Seuss

Ran out of time today ... snatched a few moments between dance classes and cooking dinner to take this vase of flowers outside to make the most of the rapidly fading light.

It’s Christmas Wishes and Texture Tuesday at 7 Days of Shooting.

The Hereios have a special project today – a game of 8 Questions. So, here goes:

1. If you could go back to any time in your life, what would you photograph? I worked on some IT projects in Singapore, Ireland, and England before I took up photography. I’m pretty sure I missed some marvelous shots.

2. What kind of picture do you find the least interesting? Architecture without the history or story.

3. Which picture took you the most courage to take (or publish)? My very first silly selfie.

4. What do you admire most in other people’s photography? Anything well done that is surprising or different.

5. If you could follow someone around for a day, who would that be? Santa on Christmas Night.

6. Which shot would you never post on Flickr? Anything that would embarrass someone in the photo.

7. What is unphotographable? That which cannot be spoken.

8. If you had to describe yourself in one word, what would it be? Resilient

for 7DoS: more fakes from me - spotted on a walk before I left home. I hope to have something real for tomorrow when I get back to my computer.

I sure hope he finds it...one must be very quiet to feel it arriving.

This Kodak projector works!

Thank you for the beautiful textures, Kim Klassen! (Luminous and Portrait were applied).

Found this wonderful sculpture of a bird "flying" at Dumfries House! This was a real tree that now is a bird!

[7DOS] - Seasonal - Texture Tuesday

A lake is the landscape's most beautiful

and expressive feature.

It is Earth's eye;

looking into which

the beholder measures

the depth

of his own

Nature

~Henry David Thoreau~

I've posted this scene before ~ but it is one of my favourite spots on my morning/afternoon or evening walk ♥ The theme this week at the cafe is Red, and I instantly thought of these 2 red chairs just calling passerby's to sit a spell and take in the beauty of the lake.

Linking up with Lisa Gordon's Creative Exchange and Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.

This week Texture Tuesday we were to use one layer of Kim Klassen's texture called "Simplicity". I used two layers on this each at a lowed opacity and masked some off the flower especially the center.

I created this image using a loose woven fine silk scarf, because the light plays with the textures.

Originally for a macro monday challenge, but didn't use it. Decided it fitted the 7 Days of Shooting theme too, so here goes.

A Book title...

The Yellow Silk Dress, by Sue Johnson.

www.indigodreams.co.uk/sue-johnson-yellow-dress/4586722451

or for the musically minded, inspired by a song...

The Girl in the Yellow Dress. David Gilmour.

Love this track. Moody. Bluesy. Evocative. Brilliant.

Makes me want to go out and buy a yellow dress and learn the sax!

She mesmerizes with a smile

Dark eyes as compelling as the bourbon

That girl in the canary yellow dress

Says yes

She flips a pack of cigarettes

He doesn't smoke but he takes one nonetheless

It helps to keep his motives true

(Gauloise-blue)

What else is the poor boy supposed to do?

She dances like a flame

Words unheard

Eyes closed and yellow dress

Whirls and swirls

It's late the hour's growing horns

The band seems to draw her ever closer

This girl gets right down in the groove

Woos and moves

Leads him on to where they play the blues

She dances like a flame

Has no cares, yellow dress flares

Eyes closed, arms above, she shakes

Swirls and snakes

Too late in this folie à trois

He sees that her heart is pounding for

Big daddy who falls down to his knees

Begging her please

Lifts his sax, says here's my little tease

Her dancing sets the place on fire

Heaven and hell

The flames curl up his spine

As she shakes, whirls and snakes

Raw, pickled, baked, pureed for soup - beets are good for you! Some people don't like the texture, which make them a good option for juicing - add in a carrot, a little onion and celery and you've got yourself a very tasty juice. Shot for 7DOS, weekly theme Purple, Texture Tuesday, and for Compositionally Challenged, Week 1 - Unity - where everything in the image belongs there.

The rose was photographed after a rain at the Aspray Boathouse in Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI. One of the first with my Canon EOS 60D.

Industrial cargo line where the containers await their next load - I'm not sure exactly what they carry but I do know that the high stack of material on the right hand side is metal for recycling!

Lots of lines and textures were waiting for me!!

Swans sing before they die— 't were no bad thing

Should certain persons die before they sing.”

― Samuel Taylor Coleridge

That's Coleridge's opinion, not mine! In fact it rather contradicts the quote I posted yesterday.

The neighbors probably thought we were crazy....me crouched in the grass while my Mister raked leaves towards me...but I think it was worth it. Have a great Tuesday!

Cracked Up and Burnt Edges textures by Kim Klassen.

When at college, many years ago, I spent some time studying American history. I was moved to tears on many occasions by the words of Sitting Bull as I read about the history of the American Indian. One of my favourite books from that time is 'Bury My heart at Wounded Knee' by Dee Brown.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at my photo and make a comment or leave a fave. Your thoughts are much appreciated.

I have tried different textures by different artists but I will always come back to hers. "Sweet Tart", by Kim Klassen for Texture Tuesdays.

Nothing says spring like forsythia! Processed with a Kim Klassen Texture for Texture Tuesday.
