“Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits,
Take care of your garden,
And keep out the weeds,
Fill it with sunshine,
Kind words and Kind deeds.
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The hearts are an in camera multiple exposure taken of my hanging garden hearts. Then I blended two other images I had of the insects on flowers. Finally, I gave it a creative edit to add some light textures. Happy Sliders Sunday!
This is the last in my series of the maple keys and it is a composite image for Sliders Sunday. The background is an image I took of Elm leaves using in camera multiple exposures. I blended another image I took of the maple seeds onto the background. This composition shows the heart shape that the faded branches form to the left side of the frame. Lastly, I added sparkles and a frame.
One of the projects I am working on these days is renovating our bedroom. We are painting it a new color but we also spent the day looking for new bedroom furniture. In our many store visits, I watched for trends in colors and designs. Most of the stores sold wall art as well. I noticed that most of the art leaned toward monochromatic images, subtle color tones or abstract art. So for Sliders Sunday I tried one of these trends with an image of tulips I took. Although I prefer the gorgeous colors that the real tulips have in our living room, I may consider a more monochromatic look for a wall hanging on our bedroom wall. When we have so many images of our own to choose from, it will be interesting to see what we ultimately decide to print and hang in our room. Happy Sliders Sunday!
As usual, I get distracted from my gardening when I see something that inspires me to photograph it. This is one of my tulips that has gorgeous frilly petals. This was an “in camera” multiple exposure( 3 images). Then I added some edits to warm the colors and soften the background. Happy Sliders Sunday!

There's nothing like spending time by a quiet lake to clear the head and see the natural world at your feet.
We took some time out to get away from technology and live in the great outdoors for awhile. I am in no rush to sit at a computer to process images from our trip. But I had this image in the queue from a photo session with friends just before we left. It is a triple exposure of flowers in my garden with an edit to create a funky fence look. Enjoy what is left of the summer! Happy Sliders Sunday!
