International Women’s Day: Where’s My Backpack Challenge

Where’s My Backpack has a great challenge: International Women’s Day. There are a lot of inspiring women in my world. And I am proud to be a successful woman. Mind you that success can be defined in many ways and always very personally. So here are a few photos that are my tribute to women.

For the sweetness and the softness of women. We are strong enough to cry, too.

We worked for years with tools not of this modern age.

And not to forget my own mother – we do an art show together each November. She draws and paints and I take photos!

Red, White or Red & White: Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge

I’m loving Cee’s challenge this week of Red, White, or Red & White. My favorite color is red so this is just my thing!

I’m sharing flowers with you today. Two of my favorites – gardenias and roses.

The first is a gardenia from the bush outside my office window after a rain shower.

The second photo is of a rose called “Silver Lining”. It has a beautiful white silver underside to the petals.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: One Single Flower

I have to admit that Cee does challenge me in her challenges. (repetitive, yes) So this one is about one single flower. If you follow my work you know that I have a LOT of one single flower photos. So I didn’t want to take one of my already done over photos for this challenge but picked out some new ones.

First off the block is one of my favorites. It is a double bloom gerbera daisy that I happened upon at Atwoods at home. It was on a single stem so it should qualify as a single flower, correct? I tried some photo manipulation but it just never looked like I think the flower should so I went with it in natural setting.

Second is one that is a bit on the monochrome side. It is a beautiful rose with colors so soft that you can’t visually always grab the vibrance of them.

Third one is a flower that I have no idea what it is. It was just pretty. The background was desaturated and I opened up the color on the flower.

Bloom of the Week Wednesday – May 23, 2012

This week I’m sharing one of my roses – quirk is that it is two stages of growth. One is a bud and the other a bloom. It isn’t the same bud/bloom but from the same rose-bush. Hope you enjoy!

Mardi Gras rose

In my home before I married I had a rosebush – a Mardi Gras rosebush. They made the most spectacular colors as they budded and bloomed! I keep looking for another Mardi Gras bush and will someday find it. In the meantime, enjoy!

Sandy’s Roses

Last year I posted a photo of my friend Sandy’s hibiscus. This spring she had some monster pink roses. (I’m certain it is because she is such a wonderful lady that they are the size of salad plates!) And some pretty yellow ones, too. So I wanted to share some of the photos and wish that I could share the sweet smell! Yumm!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Arranged

When I first read the word “arranged” for this week’s post I was reminded of one of my favorite prints of Ansel Adams “Rose & Driftwood”. I have read that it is the only contrived photo that he offered. The rose is rumored to have come from his mother’s rose bush. I have it in my collection. So when my own rosebush bloomed last year I decided that I would take that inspriration and use the piece of driftwood that was beaver made to do my own version. Now do not get me wrong – I am nowhere near the artist that Mr. Adams was but I enjoyed the take on it as I found the beaver made driftwood at a river and the rose was one from my own rose bush.

The second photo I want to share with you is the cover photo for my “Flowers For Your Coffee Table” book. I arranged several spring flowers on the bench in my arbor for this photo.

A-Z Archive Challenge: L – for love

Love – (according the MW dictionary) “a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties.” So here are a few photos that show love in some manner.

This photo is of a colt and his mother.

Lovin'

This photo is of roses found on Memorial Day in the river in Roaring River, MO. It appeared that someone had thrown them in the river. The spider refused to budge from the roses. Perhaps a love scorned?? Or a love remembered??
