7 Days of Shooting/Week #52/Your Town/Texture Tuesday

Loanhead Children's Gala Day was established in 1904 and is the oldest event of its kind in the district. The main event is held on the fourth Saturday in June with a programme of activities leading up to it, including a fancy dress parade, sports and entertainments. The Crowning Ceremony itself is held at Fountain Green in the centre of town – the Queen is accompanied by attendants including a herald, champion and ladies and gentlemen in waiting. It’s a tradition that all the Court attendants should decorate their houses – the best decorated receive prizes. The coronation is followed by the Grand Procession with massed bands, wreath-laying at the War Memorial and in the afternoon there’s a programme of entertainment in the Memorial Park.

7 Days of Shooting, Week #23 : The Dark Side -- Texture Tuesday

Texture Tuesday, Kim Klassen texture.

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday - The Aurora eDition.

I used Kim's Aurora (inverted) and Soft Shale textures.

The Pythagoreans acknowledged number 6 to be the first perfect number.

In mathematics a perfect number is when all the numbers divisors (excluding the number itself) are added, the sum equals the number itself. 1+2+3=6

In addition when including the number itself and dividing by two the result is the number itself. (1+2+3+6)/2 = 6

Perfect numbers are rare. The Ancient Greeks recognized four perfect numbers: 6 – 28 – 496 – 8,128. Throughout history perfect numbers have fascinated mathematicians and more perfect numbers have been discovered.

The number 6 is a symbol of completeness.

Number 6 symbolizes beauty and high ideals.

It goes without saying; I live at number six.

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday!

I was visiting my sister last week...she's an avid quilter and has some modern sewing equipment so I was very happy when I went upstairs and saw this "old beauty" on display. Fortunately, I had my camera in hand :)

I used two of Kim's textures for this image: Empty Page on Multiply at 78% and Loretta on Soft Light at 100%

And bonus ant.

At the Sunspace Cafe in Doonan, Queensland.

Not really a tree, this is all that remains of my Olive tree :( I forgot to protect it when winter suddenly came ! I was so happy to have a real big Olive tree and now all i have is this piece of bark.

I think it is a beautiful piece so it's NOT for the fire place !!

7 Days of Shooting – Week #40 (w/b 9 April) Begins With The Letter D

Back to the alphabet, for this week! The letter D must represent your subject … dogs, dolls, damaged, dancing you get the idea but don’t forget the donuts!!

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

7 Days of Shooting/Week #1/Messy Moments/Texture Tuesday

I have a lot more pastels then i knew :)

Love this scarf that belonged to my Mom, it has amazing soft pastel colours and of course memories.

The softness comes from using f/1,8

Trying something different, I know I mostly have everything in the photo but I think showing just a part of your still life makes it a stronger shot .

Would love to hear what you think of this composition, would more space around the bottles be better ?

Let me know, I'm always willing to learn.

I'm sure that in LR I could have made this look even better, I'm working on it :)

Textures used : maytime 0405 and canvasbackmagic both by Kim Klassen, thanks again Kim !

I need to make a folder of my favourite textures by you !

I wondered about this being vibrant enough, so looked up the definition of vibrant. One definition was 'pulsating with vigor and energy'. Couldn't argue with that!

Texture Tuesday - just a flower image - used 4 of Kim's textures sweet tart, charmed, deep sigh and canvas grunged. I was going to stop at the first two but I felt like it still needed something and deep sigh was just what it needed. word art is by Sue Cummings.

In Spanish, the word sombrero means any hat with a brim, such as the traditional sombrero cordobés from Cordoba, Spain. It derives from the Spanish word sombra, meaning "shade" or "shadow"; thus a literal English translation would be "shade maker".

For Kim Klassen's "Texture Tuesday"!

I used two of Kim's textures on this image. One layer of "Just Stitched" (which inspired my title lol) on Soft Light at 100%; one layer of "Stained Linen" on Soft Light at 91%, and a -75 Saturation...

Maybe I'm spending too much time on the computer but the shadows remind me of Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Past! :)

A couple of colourful scarves I bought this winter. They brighten up my navy coat nicely.

Found this today, figured out what it was with a little bit of help from my husband and a googled version of a 1914 book. Can you guess it too?

Studio 26, taste of flickr. Texture Tuesday.

"7 Days of Shooting" "Week #52" "Your Town" "Texture Tuesday" Would this were a recent photo! Rain like this is just what we need!

Besides Laguna Woods Village the only residential entities in the city of Laguna Woods are an apartment building next door and The Regency, the senior living community where I live... and where I take my pictures... so you probably already have a good idea of "My Town"! I know you've seen the Courtyard before! 9-)))

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!

Taken on our morning walk in Brisbane.

7DOS - I am hoping this qualifies as textured.

Kondalilla National Park.

A beautiful rainforest walk down to Picnic Creek, the Kondalilla Falls lookout and the Rock Pools.

About 100 km north of Brisbane, near Montville, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

Named after the spectacular Kondalilla Falls, where Skene Creek drops 80 m into a rainforest valley, this park is a cool mountain retreat and an important refuge for many native animals and plants.

for 7DoS: I came across this lovely orange lady outside a shop this weekend :)

I never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they do now. ~Will Rogers

My 11 and 8 year old nieces spent the night with me last night and we went and got fancy manicures. The henna was already there...courtesy of Miss E's mother who was practicing for a demonstration at a local library (she paints faces, henna, etc. at events and parties) but the two-toned neon nails with added glitter is all Miss E. She thinks it looks cool...and it didn't look so bad once it was all said and done. However her dad (my brother) is probably going to kill me! ;-)

I'm so not ready for her to grow up!!!

for 7DoS: I normally avoid the biscuit isle in my supermarket - it's full of temptation! When I ran out of milk and quickly visited my local, smaller store these little balls of delight, sneakily ambushed me (O.O) I was nowhere near the biscuits or chocolate - they'd been randomly placed to catch me out!

Gandalf as the cat. Love his fluffy texture and the grain of the leather hat.

for 7DoS: I didn't have time for a shot yesterday, so I forced myself to open up my tin of S'mores to take this textured macro shot for today.

It would be a great gift, if all my favourite sweet things were calorie free for Xmas :)

Rural Georgia or North Carolina. Shot enroute to Atlanta.
