I wonder if Linus was imagining what this tree could become when he said this quote.

Week 48, Color Schemes

Olivia says:

Where to start? With finding certain colors in one photo, with certain colors in a composite image? I was struggling because mostly I take pictures of what I see that catches my eye and interest. I found a way to choose a challenge. It was 4, Split Complimentary. I kept looking at the color wheel to try to understand it all. A couple of nights ago there was a glorious sunset which I photographed from my front yard as I played with all sorts of camera movement and panning including vertical panning. After some basic LR adjustments, I checked the color wheel and saw I was able to achieve the split complimentary. Yellow/red/purple. It is a busy week, so whew! I am enjoying the learning with my color wheel and will use it more. Slight crop to right side.

Ready and waiting. We’ve had enough snow to just barely use both the snow shovel and the snowshoes a couple of times, but I’m ready for lots more.

I took a trip to Texas to visit my mom for her upcoming 92nd birthay. We took a drive to see th amazing lights for the holidays. There were many trees warpped in lights, but this one sported lights on all branches all the way to the tippy top

Ricky says:

I didn't look to see what others did so their images wouldn't influence my choice for a movie quote. I'm not sure this is a super well-known quote...unless you know the movie - but at least I will tell you the movie and hope that helps...Fried Green Tomatoes. Any guesses?

This is a brass tray from Turkey which I have had for many years. I like the patina so I accentuated it a bit and added a bit of vignetting.

I'm thankful for moments of seeing it all connected. Thankful for time and health to play with my macro lens and wander in my soggy yard. Thankful to share some of my photography journey with you.

Week 47, Thankful For

Ricky says:

Like most of you, I have a lot to be thankful for. Family, for example, but they are far away. You all know I'm smitten by my pups and they have been my saving grace through the pandemic. I've lived alone on the mountain now since Spring 2019.

My "thankful for..." story is about Hugo. Hugo is Portugese. He was working in Luxembourg when we met. By April 2021 we began making plans for him to come to the USA. Due to travel restricions the original June date didn't happen, and his plane ticket was changed seven times over the next several months. In September, the White House finally announced that EU travel would open in early November. He arrived on November 8th and this photo expresses more than it might appear. It is relaxed - comfortable - loving - fitting and so much more. I could not be more thankful for Hugo. My world is still in flux, but he, and the pups, are a constant and a comfort in these difficult times. The next steps will be challenging...the process of immigration. Keep us in your thoughts. I'm sure the process will be daunting.

Week 46, Guilty Pleasure

Dennis says:

I've always had a weakness for symmetry. And for dark chocolate syrup made with a little honey, a little butter and buttermilk, some cinnamon, vanilla, smoked paprika, baking chocolate, semi-sweet baking chocolate and some dark cocoa powder. While it's fabulous spooned straight out of the saucepan, it's practically guilt-free served on top of vegan, dairy-free plant-based vanilla dessert stuff that neutralizes calories and catalyzes chloresterol into vitamin E.

Today while cleaning my studio (laugh as much as you like), I excavated these tiny little handmade boxes that were gifted to me a few years ago. They feature images of my little tuilips (Chantelle's) that I've taught many times in quilt classes. The largest box is only 2" and the other two nest inside. Edited in Prisma app with Paris

Ricky says:

I'm a glutton for pottery. I won't take time to list my other obsessions. This is my cupboard - one small section. I opted to attempt shooting the curves and feature the shapes. The figures on the pitcher in the back seemed to dominate but they are 'back there'. This went into topaz for a very slight color boost - then a typical dreamscape with the origitnal - and that was even pulled back. So the edits are subtle.
