Three Nature Captures

 

I'm taking a photography class at the local wildlife Sanctuary.   Our first assignment was to capture some images demonstrating depth of field.  My goal was to find something worth looking at, bringing it to focus in the front and having the background show as blurry or fuzzy so that you can focus on the image in front.  This week we'll play in Photoshop to balance the colors, crop the images, in general make them ready for your viewing pleasure.  I'm showing the BEFORE images here.  I will post any changes next week!

 

 

 

This last one is my favorite of the three.

Luscious & The Garden Game (new rules)

I'm in the the garden, drawn in like the bees to the nectar- the flowers from last week are on their way out and a whole fresh patch has started blooming. The hopefullness of Spring is such a boost and a motivation to move and create!  I've been doing lots of moving (hiking, biking, running, planting, digging) and not much quilting (my studio is HOT!- perhaps I should brainstorm some quick solutions to that...).  In the meantime, please join me in another walk through my garden.

Backyard Garden Tour

 

I took these photos in our home gardens after our last bout of rain. 

It truly does help the flowers to grow.
