Some time ago I came across this flower in a paddock. Really pushed the processing to highlight the colours.
I found this old shoe in back of this house in the leaves.

It looked to be about a size 6, or smaller. An woman's shoe, not a child's, since women's feet were typically smaller years ago. It still had the metal tab on the bottom of the shoe where the arch and heel connect, but the engraving wasn't legible. I carried this shoe around, took it in the car, thought better of it, and set it down on the front porch steps. After getting my courage up, I went into the house. The saddest thing I had ever seen. Evidently, the woman there liked to quilt, for there were bags of quilting materials, old clothing from young ones long ago, old toys, WWI or WWII trench coat, rosary beads on the wood stove - all scattered on the floor. You couldn't even see the floor! It was like the person passed away, and it was all just left. The front door was left open, and the glass was broken. I thought about that place for two days after, and I think it's a shame......
bethany likes to prop herself up between the couch and the coffee table in her diaper to relax. i think it's a modified yoga thing. taken december 20, 2005.
Guess who's turn it was to clean the kitchen. But chocolate milk and cigarettes were begging for consumption first!

The Osprey was doing his own thing circling the pond for a fish and the red-tail hawk harrasses him for a good 15mins.
1st April 2022 :
... Seeds and or grain.
As I enjoy the weekly themes and alphabet challenge in the 2022 one photo each day group, I shall carry on doing those. I also chose them this week and had the ideas of what I was going to take for them already.
The new packet of bird seed I bought the other day for the garden. I need to wash out the bird feeder before filling it up again, so added them in a small glass jar.
One thing I noticed was that I actually enjoyed taking this. The most important thing for me.

“In my own worst seasons I've come back from the colourless world of despair by forcing myself to look hard, for a long time, at a single glorious thing: a flame of red geranium outside my bedroom window. And then another: my daughter in a yellow dress. And another: the perfect outline of a full, dark sphere behind the crescent moon. Until I learned to be in love with my life again. Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and over again.” - Barbara Kingsolver
Part inspired by the Flower Fairies illustrations, I grew up with these as a kid and always identified with the Blackthorn Fairy most, because she looked totally badass! Climbing on thorns, tattered clothes, my kinda fairy.
Today has been lovely, I woke up pretty shattered from yesterday's wedding and went to do some couple portraits about an hour's drive away - I'm able to sing in the car again (loudly) and I feel like this last week I've felt really grateful to be alive again.
That was one of the hardest things to get my head around after he died, I had no idea how I was going to ever WANT to be in this part of my life again. I read somewhere that life is only ever comparisons - the state of oneself with an old self, circumstances with other circumstances, etc etc. I loved life SO much before him, with him, that I couldn't see how it would ever compare. Letting go of the idea of comparison has been huge, moments are only ever moments, so if I want to sing loudly in the car then I will damn well sing until the moment comes to an end. And as my collection of wonderful moments grows, hopefully so will my overall perspective on the "enjoyableness" of my current present! Boom.
And yes, I was totally naked in a boggy moor on the roadside, here. RIP, my dignity.
Tag made interestingness on Oct 3, 2005... which just goes to show you how strange flickrites are -- thanks for liking my strategic blur.

Having struggled with Elements 12 for god knows how many years and only upgrading to Photoshop CC late last year I thought it was about time that I tried to get to grips with it properly as most of my uploads follow the same tried and trusted process flow.
So one of my many 2018 New Year resolutions is to try new things and see where it takes me. I'm not tying myself down to a 365 or a 52 week project but will post images in the hope of some good tips from you all. So here's my first attempt... I don't know if this is colour popping or selective colouring but it was far easier than I thought although I'll have to go back to the videos and make notes as I've a memory like a sieve or is it a goldfish... see I've forgotten already!
About the picture, we were just on our way for coffee and cake when Mrs R spotted this pink taxi... that's a bit different! Out came the camera and no sooner had I taken the first shot the taxi driver spotted me and wound his window up and turned his back on me... must be shy I thought! I rushed off to catch up with Mrs R who was on a mission to find the biggest cake, but checking my framing in the rear screen I wasn't happy with the symmetry (you know me) so went back for another go. Oh boy, was that taxi driver unhappy with me... he got out of his cab, shouted something, waved his hand in an ungentlemanly manner and stormed off to the pavement - that's him on the left.
Well... if you want to go unnoticed... don't paint yer cab pink!
A build/figure a long time in the making. Longer than I think I realize. I’ve been brainstorming on how to make a good looking Swamp Thing that didn’t make use of a big fig base as I wanted him to be more scaled down than the monstrous stature that is a big fig. I feel like this is a good middle from a normal figure and a big fig. The build, with how the legs are posed, stands only a head above a normal figure, giving the build a menacing look. I have plans to use this base for future characters which will be fun to figure out.

On the rare occasions I get to photograph this view there is always something in the way! A couple of years ago it was a flock of Geese. This year - the big green thing!
Somehow this started as a picture of trees and wound up as a Bird Thing. I try to go where the image takes me and hopefully it works out. You don't want to see the one's that don't.
Selfie in an old abandoned water tower plinth. This is a structure which once supported a huge water tank as used in the age of steam.
Shot with a Sony 14mm G Master lens tilted way back towards the sky and a top tip for making yourself look considerably slimmer than in real life ;-)
