Day 12 – architecture and monochrome (Photo 101)

Posted on June 25, 2015 | 3 comments

  

Snapped this yesterday when walking up the stairs to rooftop parking at a local shopping mall. A very ordinary photo was made more dramatic by converting to black and white and upping the contrast a bit.

Day 11 – a Pop of Color (Photo 101)

A splash of colour...

A splash of colour…

In a brash move (in the spirit of yesterday’s post), I am posting this assignment out of order!  The challenge was to choose one bold colour possibly set off against a neutral background. Though the composition is more cluttered than I think was intended, the colour is so intense I’m posting anyway. This is an azalea variety which has an intense scent to match its brilliant display. It always starts to flower right around my birthday at the beginning of May and, for me, is a sure sign that hot summer weather is just around the corner.

As for those missing posts? I’m working on them… Maybe I’ll get around to posting and maybe I won’t. That’s just the way it is when you are dealing with a rebel blogger…

… gold, yellow, amber, orange – such a warm display from our cheery tulips, as happy to see the sun as we are.

M is for Moss and Maybe a Mushroom?

M is for Moss and Maybe a Mushroom?

I’m actually not sure whether that’s some sort of fungus-mushroom thing (my knowledge in this area is minimal… microscopic… miniscule…) or some kind of squidgy alien being. The photo was taken on the day of our recent expedition to the Kinsol Trestle. But, I like the photo (which is so quintessentially west coast wet) and am heading out into the rain to spend another night camped out in the truck on piglet watch, so I don’t have time to craft an m-filled missive. There. I’m all caught up on my A-to-Z posts!! For now. We shall see what the morrow brings!
