"Come to the woods, for here is rest.

There is no repose like that of the green deep woods.

Here grow the wallflower and the violet.

The squirrel will come and sit upon your knee,

the logcock will wake you in the morning.

Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill.

Of all the upness accessible to mortals,

there is no upness comparable to the mountains."

John Muir

for 7DoS: iconic brands are often copied. My lips are sealed ; )

Love the tones of dead grasses, nature has so much beauty to give if we're willing to see it !!!

Texture Tuesday - Texture in photography emphasizes features and details, so the detail in the surface of the object(s) you are photographing should be the most important feature of the image.

Week #13 (w/b 4 October) Lines - Straight lines, curved lines and broken lines! Wherever, we can find lines and they are all about us they will add great depth to our photos. Lines can converge as they disappear into the distance creating a great perspective. Just be careful on those railway tracks!!

( just had to do the train tracks)

This little cat (I think) sits on top of our wardrobe - don't ask why but it was my wife's little soft toy when she was just a little girl ;-)

With the beginning of Spring and it will soon be Summer, here in QLD the days are heating up already. My beach towel and sunnies are all ready.

Scavenger Challenge – September 2018 Assignment - Repeating Patterns -The challenge is to keep your images visually interesting while at the same time showing the pattern as a major factor in your composition.

for 7DoS: came across this bit of driftwood while walking along the beach today. It may not be the driest bit of wood I found (I have some more shots to use later this week) but I liked the peeling paint and little grains of dry sand for texture

for 7DoS: I bought these Dark chocolate ginger cookies when I last visited my sis, in April.

I have resisted opening them until now ... I fear they won't be around much longer

for 7DoS: I did take a few new shots while out yesterday but decided that this wall has better visible texture

Maybe not one of those famous soldiers who were buried with China's first emperor but I can only wish it was!!

For six word story.

PeeGee Hydrageas in a Victorian Pitcher using Kim Klassen's "kk_dollard-softandgentle" texture.

A friend brought me this Jizo from Japan years ago, and it has been on my desk ever since.

I have read that "Jizo is the embodiment of the Bodhisattva Vow, the aspiration to save all beings from suffering. He is the protector of women, children, and travelers in the six realms of existence. In India he is known as Ksitigarbha, in China as Dizang, in Korea as Jijang Bosal, and in Japan as Jizo Bosatsu." "The aspiration to save all beings from suffering" is as good as it gets for holiday wishes.

Many thanks for every kind comment, fave, your words of encouragement, and the inspiration of your fine photography,

my Flickr friends! You make my day every day!

for 7DoS: this one is a bit of a cheat, as these trolleys aren't outside a grocery store. This well known Swedish chain does also sell food, so hopefully it's not too much of a cheat ;)

A bit of geometry and as close as I wanted to get to a dirty trolley wheel, to make up for missing the beginning of the week :)

for 7DoS: I can't remember when I first saw the bare-ankle-with-a-suit look for men, but it's spread widely since and I'm still not a fan. I guess I'm just too old to appreciate it. I find myself rolling my eyes a fair bit these days ... don't even get me started on the man-bun ;)

PS it's always a good idea to check you've taken all the sticky labels off your shoes before you wear them :)

Enjoy your weekend.

for 7DoS: new spring growth hanging from the trees :)

Kim Klassen's 'Felicity' texture...

used twice; once at normal/50% opacity, once at luminosity/43% opacity.

Also added: high pass filter, soft light/50% - levels adj. layer to pop the whites - hue/sat. adj. layer to desaturate overall.

Was after a bit of vintage feel, but not sure if I like the dark corners...what do you think???

A little story about the spools is on my blog: sweetpeapath.blogspot.com/2012/02/natural-succession.html
