More Flowers

Last time I went sine tasting in Sonoma, I took some pics around my mother's yard. I like this one but the green from the leaves was disruptive so I eliminated it. Another color to add to my flower series. I like how the sunset to my left lightened the color on the flowers on the left side of the grouping.

I'm Black, I'm White

A new take on the Hinkle Rose. I felt like messing around with the picture and I like it, I think that I will do the same thing with some other pictures. I was actually trying to get more definition of the original picture form the previous post, but the colors were too bright, so I tried taking the color saturation all the way down and I liked how it came out. Then I experimented with removing the background because it was taking attention away from the rose.

Rosie, how can I persuade?

So I was a bit bummed out on Saturday. I went all the way to San Pedro and didn't get sunken city photos/ I went over to the Hinkle household on saturday evening so we could get started early Sunday morning on Easter festivities. Well, we all slept in, but the sun was out and the Hinkles have some great flowers at their house. This was actually much brighter than it is in this picture, I had to pull the color back. I hope that you enjoy it.

Stop and smell these...

So everywhere I go, I end up taking pictures of the wild flowers. We had hoped to match up our trip to Death Valley a week after it rained, however we made it the day that it rained. These were the only wildflowers we really found. They are pretty and yellow, but I had hoped for a lot more flowers on our trip. Not complaining, great trip, but next time, more flowers. Gee, that sounds manly. Maybe if I say it in a lower register. More flowers please. Nope, didn't help.
