I returned at sunset to see what colours might have changed on previous images. The gargoyle looked different. There were more colours on the surface of the stone, but it was the glow of the sky that changed the whole mood of the picture. I cropped the image more to the right to highlight the … Continue reading Hellish Night
Growth & Beauty
We inherited these ratty old shrubs in front of our house when I bought my house a decade ago. They had been trimmed in all sorts of bad ways and needed to rebound. In the first year, I added new earth around their bases, watered them carefully, trimmed off the dead branches, and hoped for … Continue reading Growth & Beauty
Gargoyle
I challenge you to get close to the things you see in your environment every day. So many have become mundane with familiarity. Changing the perspective destroys most of that familiarity. If you have never seen one of these gargoyles before, can you accurately guess its true size? The closer I got the more I saw … Continue reading Gargoyle
Looking Left in Plague Times
A beautiful Spring morning during the isolation, I ventured out into my garden to start tidying my yard. Over the long Winter, things had fallen from the trees, some things are forgotten when buried under the snow. This windchime grew a beautiful patina and wanted to let Mother Nature continue her work, so I rehung … Continue reading Looking Left in Plague Times
The Self-UnPortrait
What I learned in school this week... We were given only one prompt for this activity: "Shoot a self-portrait where you aren't directly in the shot." Of course hands flew up and questions were rapidly fired at the teacher, but he simply replied "you decide" and the questions stopped. Through the class discussion that followed … Continue reading The Self-UnPortrait
Face at the Track & The Three Amigos
In a recent drawing class, there teacher told us of an upcoming project that would have us seeing faces everywhere, in all sorts of inanimate objects. When I left class that prophecy stayed loud and clear in my mind. This morning on the way to school, I found these faces. See more at Arts M.Perron … Continue reading Face at the Track & The Three Amigos
Vibrant Galaxies
A different perspective on the Tethered Biospheres photo. Perhaps I've been watching too much Star Trek lately, but it does look like those galaxies they are always encountering. The mysterious nebulas. I simply hyper saturated the colours and the extra luminescence appeared. My imaginations flew me through this wonderful vision of outer space. For more … Continue reading Vibrant Galaxies
Tethered Biospheres
Can you picture a futuristic cityscape, where the communities are vast biospheres floating in the sky and tethered to the earth? That's what I saw when I crouched down into the buggy grasses and looked across this field. Perhaps these are the skeletal remains of one off these fantasy world-scapes. For more of my photo … Continue reading Tethered Biospheres
Sunset Time
I am simply fascinated by this plant. The intricately interwoven filaments that form a nearly perfect sphere are gorgeous. I zoomed in and focused on the sphere itself, contrasting out the greenery behind it. The final effect was that it appeared as if the setting sun was illuminating it. I fond it beautiful! For more … Continue reading Sunset Time
Ready To Launch
This is the final edit that hit an interesting detour in the form of "Mother Nature's Fireworks". From far, these plants seem dead, but up close we see intelligent life in the fine details of the construction. Each seed pod is attached to the finest web of silky tendrils that will allow it to float … Continue reading Ready To Launch
