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.

7DoS - Week #44 (w/b 7 May) Fill The Frame

After all that space, it's time to Fill the Frame with your subject this week. Zoom in or just get close to your subject and take it right to the edges of your shot.

FMSH - 6. The Middle

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".

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?

"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-)))

7 Days of Shooting – clothes

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 Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday, Words edition.

All the winter fences made me think of this although I rarely feel confined at the beach ... more free spirited. And the fences should all be coming down soon!

Shot at Sunken Meadow State Park. Textures from Kim Klassen, "Nature's Beauty", and Distressed Jewell, "Soft and Simple". Also added some Topaz Simplifier. Font used: 1942 Report.

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

Happy Texture Tuesday along with a happy update on my tummy ache... it's all gone! I ate dinner last night and breakfast this morning and feel a lot better today! Thank you so much everyone for your get well wishes!!! They really helped! This was taken yesterday, when I was not feeling 100%, but still willing and able to play. Have you tried juggling oranges before?

Today's Texture Tuesday theme is the Orange eDition. I added Kim Klassen's layer of "love" and in the picture in the comments, I added her newest layer of "Crackerjack."

Scavenger Challenge - January 2018 - What You Enjoy

1) A "quiet time" activity - I am a loner of some sorts, when it comes to my personal training. It is all about the power of the mind.

2) Something you do which others might consider unusual or novel - At my age there are not many people who go running or lift weights - some people think that this is unusual

7 Days of Shooting - Week #30 (w/b 28th January) Rounded

Rounded ~ nothing straight but lots of curves and squiggles. Country roads, city bridges curved or rounded subjects in our homes and kitchens!

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!!!

Texture Tuesday - used KK's Aurora and Yesteryear Textures

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!

This lovely basket was a birthday gift almost 20 years ago. I wish I could say that I bought it myself in South Africa! However, Africa is one continent I have never set a foot on... :(

lunch break in the park,sitting on the grass with my shoe-less feet in the spring sunshine

Days of Shooting – Week 11 (w/b 17th September) Shoes: We all wear them and whether they are your running shoes, walking shoes or boots, cycling shoes or your ballet shoes then let’s see what we wear on our feet. It’s time to get your Jimmy Choos or your Christian Louboutin out of the wardrobe and if preferred someone else’s shoes!

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

I started designing my own textures and thought I'd put one to good use. This one is called Moss.

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 :)

In the midst of our darkest moments there is the potential to lose all hope but hang on because one day the veil of darkness will lift and the light will come shining through to reveal a beauty that you could not have imagined.

So it is with this image, the original in the comments is awful but I knew the form of the swans was so beautiful and elegant and if I could get rid of the darkness and noise the beauty of their form would come through.

Our lives are like that, sometimes the beauty of who we truly are is so buried by the busyness, brokenness and sin of our lives that our true form is hidden, but once revealed we have so much more life to offer to those around us.

May we all be freed from those dark places that desire to keep us captive.

Rural Georgia or North Carolina. Shot enroute to Atlanta.

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. using a couple of Kim Klassen textures.
