My Favorite Photo Of The Week

Beautiful light was shining on the last of the dandelions.

The Simple Things

I hope you won't get tired of fall leaves! 
After flowers, they're my favorite thing to photograph.
The texture and the colors are always so beautiful!

 

Picture Inspiration Week 33 - long and tall

A long river...a tall sculpture.

52 Photos Project - round or circles

The acorns from our Pin Oak Tree are thin with a shallow cap. It looks like the smaller circle of gold has been hand-stitched to the acorn in a zig-zag pattern.

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.

Along The Fence

The photo prompt for 52 Photos Project this week is  "along the fence".  Great prompt for me because I love fences...all kinds, sizes, and colors.  They have such wonderful lines,  angles, and curves. There is something extra special about a white picket fence though. Not only are they beautiful, but they always make me think of Huckleberry Finn having to whitewash the fence! I really don't think the fence he and his friends painted was as pretty as this one though! I'm not even sure how you would even paint this fence with all the vines one it!

What's behind this beautiful fence?  A lovely antebellum house, Curran Hall, which was built in 1842-43. It has been restored and reopened as the Little Rock Visitor Center.

The vine growing on the fence is Hyacinth Bean. One of volunteers at the visitor center is supposed to send me some seeds. I sure hope they'll grow for me!

Not only does it have beautiful flowers but its has the most amazing bean pods. The light is so bright you can see the seeds inside the pod.

OK, back to the fences.

wrought iron fences look elegant and classy

ornate fences show off fine workmanship

rusty fences have character

  barbed wire fences are strong and ageless

Fences

keep things in

or keep things out

or just look beautiful!!

My Favorite Photo Of The Week

 I have always been fascinated by shadows.

I love the lacy shadow of the leaf end.

Picture Inspiration Week 31 - Extreme Crop

We were to use the camera to crop an image in an extreme way. I took this photo in the early morning light when the dew was still on the leaf.

52 Photos Project ~ RED

 Red is the warmest of all colors. 

In China, red is the color of prosperity and joy.

Brides wear red and front doors are often painted red.

Red roses symbolize passionate love.

Ruby rings should be worn on the left hand. 

Red is associated with fiery heat and warmth.

It can also mean danger.

Put some red in your life when you want:

• increased enthusiasm and interest
• more energy
• action and confidence to go after your dreams
• protection from fears and anxieties

Information about the color red from Emily Gems
