Picture Color…

Although I haven’t posted much here during the month of June I was busy taking photos.  Through the blog Mortal Muses I won a membership in the Picture Color workshop which involved daily prompts and nightly comments.  I find these workshops both rewarding and overwhelming at the same time…  I am a bit obsessive about getting every prompt done and commenting on other photos which isn’t always possible.  All in all, however, I am sure that I take away more than I put into the class.  There is so much inspiration and support among the participants that when the month is over I find that I missed the daily stress…

The collage above was made using Picasa of most of my photos from the workshop.

Par Avion...

What a thrill it is to receive something fun in the mail...and from so far away...The world really is getting smaller...I ordered this zine from Gracia&Louise after reading about it in another blog and I was thrilled with how it arrived so nicely packaged...and with a lovely thank-you note inside.

...Lots of fun digital collages in a small package...Love it!

Poinsettia Dilemma...

The problem, for me, with poinsettias is that their beauty outlives their use as a seasonal decoration...yesterday the afternoon sun struck this plant in a heart-warming way...just what I needed to get away from taking more snow pics...So do I throw it out because I am tired of it and Christmas is over?...



I tried making this collage with Picasa then uploaded it thru Flickr to make a larger image...still learning...
