Photo Friday – Selective Color

Way back in March I took a photo that I shared here of snow on my deck. At the time I thought, “Gee, I wish that I could leave the color in the patio umbrella” because it’s a bright blue that would have looked great against the snow. Now, I know how to do that:

Photo Challenge – White-on-White

This week’s Photo Challenge was actually a “Do Over” week. Since I’ve been doing a lousy job of getting my homework done lately, I had plenty of challenges to choose from.  I was struck by the light coming through the shade in my laundry room so I decided to do the “White-on-White” challenge with a […]

Photo Friday – Stuck in Place

This week’s assignment: stand in one spot for an hour taking pictures.  You can see my spot in the photo in the top left of this montage – the edge of my deck.  The best of the photos I took are the remaining ones. Nothing worth framing, but not a terrible way to spend an […]
