I decided that I deserved a bouquet of them myself so on the weekend I added these to my table.
I chose the same color that my Mom loved.
They were pretty closed so they will last a few days!
I finished this book this week. It is a very intriguing book and the tag line is what inspired me to bring it home. "Creative Living beyond Fear" by the same author as Eat Pray Love. I have been struggling with the end of my card making classes and was looking to find some ways to move forward with my photography. Basically, I took away the following: Stay Curious, Always Do Something!, When Stuck - Look in a different direction, Inspiration is always looking for a place to land so be open and accepting, Everyone is Creative, and “It`s just that inspiration comes from another world, so sometimes we have trouble understanding each other.”
Well, that was not possible so I bought a battery for it but that was a bust too!
I finished my taxes today. I had to pay this year which was unusual for me so I had to learn a lot to figure out what happened!
The research I had to do sort of fell into the lessons in the book above.
This was the best composition I captured this morning.
Love the softness of the edges.
This was an idea was generated by a book I read quite a while ago, Window Sill Art.
Again, following inspiration from the book in this post I had nothing to lose by trying something new.
I used several backgrounds and captured some nice colorful bokeh!
I remember when creating bokeh was a challenge and after a couple years of practice I can do whenever I want.

The challenge for Flickr Macro Monday was "Eye of the Beholder"
I took a picture of this spinning wood top. I love this object.

Sylvia - I don't buy flowers for myself often, but I think perhaps it is something that we should do more frequently, especially if it brings us joy. It is not really a matter of "deserving" it! You have mentioned "bokeh" several times in this and past posts and I finally decided to look it up to understand it better. Very interesting! I will pay more attention to this in the future when taking some of my photos. Thanks so much for adding your artistic element to Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely, Sylvia. I especially like the tulip mosaic and the shadows of the vases and flowers. Yes, staying curious and trying new things is the way to stay creatively active. The book you mentioned sounds intriguing.
