Impossible



This was taken last spring, early spring. My neighbor's tree was in full bloom and beautiful. I'm posting this for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday for January 29th. She has a lovely blog, you should really check it out. For this Tuesday, the requirement was one layer of last week's texture -43. On this one I used Kim's texture Sweet Tart, blurred and applied as soft light @ 25%,  then I applied -43 in the multiply mode at 50%. After all was said and done, I used Kim's brush, a lovely quote from Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

Dust In The Wind

This photo was taken in March of 2012. I had gone to take photos of a condo for a realtor friend of mine and in the middle of all the condos was a horse farm. So having camera in hand I got out to take pictures and this guy just stopped and stared.
I am entering this into the Rock The Shot Photo Challenge for January, the theme of which is your favorite photo of 2012. My husband really likes this one, so that made it a winner for me!

New love of Waterfalls


Back in October I did a Waterfall Workshop conducted by Bill Fultz of Fultz Photos and Misfits With Cameras. We went to Dayton, to visit various falls. I never knew Dayton, Ohio had sooooo many falls! It was amazing!

Bill gave us great tips on how to shoot the waterfalls and get that silky look that he has on his awesome photos, some of which can be seen here http://www.flickr.com/photos/williamfultz/4671705797/in/set-72157619297373158!
West Milton Falls was the best! When we pulled into a parking lot behind, if I remember correctly, a funeral home, we could immediately hear the Falls! Took some steps down and there they were! The first three photos here are West Milton Falls!

The photo at the bottom, which I think I could have done better on, is directly under an overpass! I wonder how many people drive over it every day and not even realize it's there! I will be in search of more waterfalls to shoot, I have a few to post from
Sharon Woods on a later blog!
Soon the first three photos will
be available in my Etsy Shop or you can
