Just playing around with my Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens, and fun textures. I don’t know what these flowers are called, but this is a new one that is just getting ready to bloom! I think it needs a little fairy sitting on top of it!

I know I might be blinded by my “mom goggles” however, Madeline surprised me with her latest of cutting crafts. She found an old tablet of construction paper, and proceeded to make something I thought looked pretty cool! Check it out while I go clean up the clippings… Cheers,jewels

Sunday night I pulled Aaron and Megs out of their cozy home to go shoot a winter sunset at Larabee State Park. It was cold, crisp, clear and calm. As it turns out Aaron and Meg were at a nearby beach a few nights prior, and if you take a look at their blog you can see the difference in weather from what we experienced Sunday.
Cheers,

The spiders are getting hungry, and I’m just happy to photograph their eerie looking food traps!

Last night was Multop’s annual “tax party” at new Anthony’s Hearthfire Grill on the bay. Everyone celebrated the end of tax season with a great sunset dinner! Even though Tax season officially ends today, I was assured the location was booked before tax season was extended by this extra day. To say thank you for [...]








Last night was Multop’s annual “tax party” at new Anthony’s Hearthfire Grill on the bay. Everyone celebrated the end of tax season with a great sunset dinner! Even though Tax season officially ends today, I was assured the location was booked before tax season was extended by this extra day. To say thank you for sticking through the long hours Chris put in at the office, I received a large bouquet of flowers from Chris’ boss and boss’ wife! These are photos from it!

I’m addicted to the website “twopeasinabucket” I used to go there for scrapbooking inspiration, but since I’m 4 years behind on my scrapbooks…I switched to the photography section of the site. I took part in my first photo challenge with them. The theme was “lines” This photo below was my submission. Cheers

Breathtaking. It looks like a painting.

Wow these are gorgeous! I adore the 2nd one… you’re right, it’s totally calling for a fairy!
Absolutely stunning!!! I love the PPing and I think you are right it does need a little fairy.
Beautiful! I could totally see a little fairy sitting on top… it’s so whimsical looking!
These are lovely, especially the second one! I love the vintage feel they have with the textures. I think I need to try this technique on some of my macros and see if I can get anything near as nice as yours
The color and texture is awesome!
That flower is simply beautiful! You’re right. It just needs a fairy sitting on top of it. I love the way you used textures, too.
Beautiful! They look like paintings, and I agree a fairy would be just right!

I like the second one best…I can’t really tell what the first one is, although could be a cool abstract piece. Aren’t textures fun?

Thanks for all the lovely comments!
For the textures, one I downloaded from deviant art (the 2nd photo), and I don’t even remember where or how I found it. It was over a year ago, and the 1st one was from Texture King, there is a link to it if you go a couple posts down here:

She was one who initially inspired me to use texture over flowers!
those look awesome. i actually saw that first one and thought that the texture looked like the one i used. it looks awesome on your picture. you are so very welcome for the link. i’m glad you like them.
Oh, Julie! That 2nd one is to die for!!!
Love these jewels! I really love the 2nd one, but I love the quirkiness and unexpectedness (does that even make sense? LOL!) of the 1st one.
