The Season - Spring!

Whatever the season is, wherever you live or happen to be, our subject is beautiful seasonal flowers and/or wonderful seasonal foliage within your gardens or within bouquets. Let’s know what your season is and if you are going to dig into your archives your chosen photo must match the current season!

for 7DoS: Kevin jumped into the hood of my coat for a short trip into the village today. It was sunny but it wasn't warm - I think Kevin made a wise move ;)

Gave this strawflower a hue adjustment for the background to make the orange stand out a bit more. Thanks kimklassen for the textures. Used the "crackerjack" texture & the les fleurs

More little hearts, wow!!

And that's just the boots.

I ride for the worst case, so reinforced leather waterproof boots, fully lined Kevlar jeans with joint armour, and leather or armoured denim jacket.

The brembo brakes on my BMW also do their bit.

Close-up of a hawser, the rope for mooring a ship.

Loved the colour of the hull, looks even beter because of the blending modes of the textures.

Picotee is my favorite amaryllis, partly because of the delicate red edges on the petals and partly because of the fabulous texture.

"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 !!!

My second son, the viola player, auditioned for and got into the Middle School All County Orchestra.

Playing together with other instruments is a lot harder than playing a solo and keeping in time is an essential part of that. Metronomes are very useful tools in helping a student keep time in music. :)

This is a variety of Cladonia sp. Not too sure which variety this is.There are so many. This Cladonia sp. could be little Pixie Cups.

7 Days of Shooting - Week #18 (w/b 5th November) Nature: Take us outside and share the wonders of your local nature. If you have pets this is a good week to show them off or maybe a lovely landscape. Just nothing man-made or in human form ;)

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!!

texture tuesday

the crackerjack edition : )

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

Flickr Lounge: Textures...some rust and a touch of background texture from Topaz.

7DOS: Based on...poem -

A vine, deep rich dark green

rising up from the earth

living color against the sooted

coated rust of the bricks,

three story building, caught in shadows

of larger ones

a single string, strand of color

living green

rising up the drainpipe, old

oxidized metal

tints of aqua, or aged copper alloy

stark in contrast, to the vine

growing skyward, out of the dark

living tissue against the grayness

the unnatural state

of the parking lot, the shadows

in the center of the city

living plant, growing

hopeful

- Raymond Foss

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.

7DoS "All I Want For Xmas" "Texture Tuesday"

Catching up on yesterday's photographs, today!!

This is Charlie and he was my son's "best pal" many years ago!

7 Days of Shooting Week #49 Toys Texture Tuesday ....

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.

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 :)
