COLORS

Mr. Sparrow's plumage may be rather commonplace, but the feeder compliments him oh so very well!

SPRING!

Of course I know it comes every year, but it never fails to amaze me!

DE LUXE

Can't think of many things as luxurious as these textures and fabulous color combination.

JANUARY 15, 2013

Fighting their way through the snow.  

Brave little darlings here to make us smile.

And to think that in England there are miles and miles of these in the woods!  

MY WORLD IN SEPIA

2010 or was it 2011?  Philadelphia Flower Show.  After receiving an Honorable Mention on the niche aisle (how the mighty have fallen!).  Decided to expand my horizons by using Photoshop to create something different (for me).  I'm glad with the results as one of my photography heroes compared it to the work of a famous photographer from long ago whose name, as does the date of the Flower Show, escapes me.  

MY WORLD IN SEPIA

Waking up to this is a blessing.  Enough said.

MUST EVERY DAY BE SUNNY?

It's not like it's been raining relentlessly...  It's not like it's been depressing and horrible and wet and dark every hour of every day...  Yes, we had a heck of a blistering summer, but autumn had more bright days than not.  All the same, there's a note of melancholy all over...  Is it me alone?  Is it the economy?  Is it the world situation?  Or maybe it's the Zombie Apocalypse.  Or the Fiscal Cliff.  Or the Mayan Calendar.  Could it be the thought that another year just fizzed away?  The happy me has been replaced by a moody moi.  A moi like the protagonist of a black and white French film.  This too shall pass, I'm sure, but in the meantime, dark thoughts will crop up and dark pictures will find their way into my camera, my garden, my world. Little Red Riding Hood will encounter the big bad wolf in the forest...   Oh, snap out of it, you old and tough little gardener, you're not a temptingly delicious morsel anymore!
