You've heard of the superhero Green Arrow, and probably his colourful cousin, Green Lantern, but, move over green boys, there's a new virescent hero in town. Yes, it's Green Vase. His super power? Jury's still out on that one, but plenty of pundits are pontificating. I love it when they do that.
The "crate" in question here, and some other, yet to be posted photos, is made by a local craftsman from wood recycled from tobacco drying kilns. Tobacco was for many decades, a major cash crop here in SW Ontario. With government cash incentives to switch to food oriented crops, many farmers have abandoned tobacco for those other crops. This has made for a cheap source of rough wood that is easily worked, and repurposed into something less toxic, and more aesthetic. I bought the crate at the local Home Hardware, and began my search for objects to attractivize it. I tried to stick to a more rustic/primitive feel, in keeping with the crate. I forget what preset I used in Lightroom Classic.

I felt that this tabletop, shuttlecock shot looked a tad bit ominous. I think that virtually anything, and everything can take on an aura of malevolence given the right setting, and appropriate lighting.
"Life is a Rainbow - One year in colours"
December : Black [52/52 weeks]
Et voici la toute dernière photo du projet "Life is a Rainbow - One year in colours / 52 weeks" (pour les voir toutes, c'est par ici : flic.kr/s/aHskzVudpK) !!! :-)))
52 semaines, 4 photos par mois, une couleur différente à chaque fois...un beau défi à relever et, surtout, de belles découvertes photographiques !
j'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à participer à ce magnifique projet qui m'a régulièrement poussé à sortir hors de ma zone de confort et qui, je le réalise à présent, m'a également permis d'évoluer en photographie en m'incitant à développer ma créativité, à chercher sans cesse de nouvelles idées et à "penser" différemment mes compositions...sans ce projet, je n'aurais pas forcément "shooté" certaines des images que je vous ai présentées tout au long de l'année. Je pense notamment à la dernière série de photos, sur le thème du noir que j'appréhendais (comment garder mon style poétique, ma touche de magie et maintenir la douceur que j'affectionne avec une couleur si dure) !
Au final, je suis heureuse et -je l'avoue- un peu fière aussi d'avoir suivi ce "52 weeks" de la première à la dernière semaine de l'année.
Je profite de ce message pour m'excuser auprès de ceux qui me suivent, pour mon absence régulière dans vos belles galeries et pour mes non-réponses à vos commentaires sur mes dernières publications. Je vais tâcher d'y remédier prochainement !
En attendant, un grand merci pour toutes vos visites, vos petites étoiles et pour vos sympathiques mots (toujours si encourageants et, sachez-le, très appréciés), tout au long de l'année ❤
Puisse ce Noël être rempli de joie, d'Amour, de sourires et de moments inoubliables à partager avec vos proches!
Meilleurs voeux et de Bonnes Fêtes à tous ! :-)

Here is my last picture of the project "Life is a Rainbow - One year in colors / 52 weeks" !!! :-))) In this album you can see all my photos: flic.kr/s/aHskzVudpK
52 weeks, 4 photos per month, a different color each time...what a beautiful challenge and also some beautiful photographic discoveries !
I had a lot of fun participating in this wonderful project. It allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and to evolve in photography encouraging me to develop my creativity, to constantly look for new ideas and to "think" differently my compositions...without this project, I would not necessarily have "shot" some of the pictures that I presented to you throughout the year. I am thinking in particular of the last series of photos, on the theme of black that I dreaded (how to keep my poetic style, my touch of magic and maintain the softness that I love with such a hard color) !
Finally, I'm happy and -I will admit it- a little bit proud to have followed this "52 weeks" from the first to the last week of the year.
I take this message to apologize to those who follow me, for my regular absence in your beautiful galleries and for my non-response to all your comments on my latest publications. I will try to remediate it soon!
In the meantime, a big thank you for all your visits, your likes and, especially, for your kind words. I really appreciated them all so much ❤
May this special day be filled with lots of happy, love, smiles and unforgettable moments with your loved ones!
Warmest thoughts and Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas to all !

I am a Professional Artist. I love using paint and pencils to put ideas on paper. I don't do it with words but with colours. I haven't done a lot of physical art in recent history but hope to get back into it more this year. It's a very satisfying way to express yourself.
We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.
I am constantly discovering, realizing, and finding the cause of my ignorance.
I am also constantly changing. What I know or capable of a couple months ago might not be the same now, that's what growing feels like I guess.
This week the growth was more tangible, more painful. My ideas and my ability to execute it shows the gap of my inadequacy much more clearer than before. But maybe the gap grows because we're constantly moving forward and thus have broadened our horizon further expanding our creative capabilities. Every time I feel this gap with such clarity I would remind myself that this is what growth feels like, that I need to take another step forward with my storytelling.
I have a really hard time executing my moon food series this week. I went through a lot of disappointments with my work. I never looked at an image and feel so much hate. Hate for failing to show the story I wanted to tell. It's funny that good taste helps us understand how bad we are, how ineffectively we are in telling our story or engaging with our audience. But disappointment serves as a motivation, self-awareness on how to do better the next time.
And I want to thank you. Thank you for the constant understanding that I am using this space for my need to grow.
p.s. Catch up with you late late tomorrow! ❤️ Stay safe.
We're trying to get Izzy used to going into the garden. She's happy to go as far as the edge of the terrace (not far) and on the garden table, but not much further at the moment.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
A wintery view out the window of our cottage on Lake Whatever. Actually, there is no Lake Whatever, and we don't have a cottage on it. lol Just a dream. This is on the deck in our back yard, using my prop window-the one I forgot to take to the beach. lol It has appeared in a lot of photos in the past. Sometimes it can be a pane working with windows. They're so emotional. One minute they're up, the next, they're down, but they tend to be very open about their feelings.
Love Is a Ball (released in the UK as All This And Money Too) is a 1963 romantic comedy film starring Glenn Ford, Hope Lange, and Charles Boyer. It is based on the novel The Grand Duke and Mr. Pimm by Lindsay Hardy.
Γιορτινές απολαύσεις με νοστιμότατα σπιτικά φαγητά, από τα χέρια της μαμάς.
Όταν νιώθεις τη μαγεία του σπιτικού φαγητού . . .
οι γεύσεις απογειώνονται . . . και αγγίζουν το Άριστα *****
Το φαγητό της μαμάς είναι ότι πιο νόστιμο στον κόσμο!!!
Το Μενού των Χριστουγέννων ☆
☆ Ζεστοί Λαχανοντολμάδες με κιμά .… για να ενωθούν τα αρώματα.
☆ Γεμιστή χωριάτικη κοτούλα με μελωμένες πατάτες στην γάστρα και η γέμιση με σταφίδες, μήλο, κουκουνάρι, καρύδι , κάστανο & συκωτάκια πουλιών.
☆ Μελωμένες πατάτες στην γάστρα αρωματισμένες με πορτοκάλι για να συνοδεύσουν την χωριάτικη κοτούλα … Μια σχέση πάθους.
☆ Τηγανιά σβησμένη με λευκό κρασί και αρωματισμένα βότανα .
Τελικά έχουν δίκιο τα όμορφα και νόστιμα βρίσκονται στα πιο απλά πράγματα ...!!!

When I toook this capture Fynn was sitting on a table under the roof window in my bedroom and enjoyed a few moments of sunshine. The winter sun fell on him like a spotlight and brightened up his eyes whereas the room behind him appeared almost black.
“But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begin.”
