An Early Valentine Bouquet
….thank you Dad
My Dad was hinting at buying me chocolates for Valentine’s Day and I asked him not to. I also warned him that flowers are very expensive as well and it would be better to wait. On Sunday I took him to Costco with me because he loves to shop and there are things that he only likes to buy there. We usually split up and meet at the checkout. He was just ahead of me and I noticed that he had a bouquet of flowers in his basket. Thanks Dad.
Red – One Word Sunday
… thanks to The Photo Junkie for hosting One Word Sunday
Red is my all time favourite colour. I like to dress in red and I usually pick the red crayon first when I’m drawing with my granddaughter.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Orange and Pink
…thanks to Cee for hosting the The Fun Foto Challenge
Orange and Pink? Together? Now that’s a challenge.
Abstract Floral #2
….I’m loving this technique
I think I should come up with something other than flowers for the next collage but the the pieces I’ve already cut up will probably determine where I go from here.
Abstract Floral Collage
….the first collage using the moon papers
After cutting up some of the printed transparency film I started to arrange the shapes onto one of the papers that I thought would make a nice background. Before gluing the pieces down I took a photo so that I would know what order and where to glue the pieces when I was reassembling the abstract still life.
Once all the pieces where glued in place I started to add some detail with white, black, gold and green gel. I think it helped bring some life into the piece.
Friendly Friday – Coral-ish Colours
….thanks to Snow for hosting this week’s Friendly Friday
I guess ‘coral-ish’ is any colour in the orange family.
A Photo a Week Challenge – Contrasting Colours
….thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting A Photo a Week Challenge
Contrasting colours or complementary colours are opposite each other on the colour wheel. They are often used in costumes and uniforms because together the colours really stand out. The following are examples of complementary colours: purple and yellow, red and green and orange and blue.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Yellow and Blue
…thanks to Cee for hosting the Fun Foto Challenge
I had lots of photos of yellow and lots of photos of blue but the two colours together proved challenging.
Looking Back to a Warm Autumn Day in Regent’s Park
….another day in London
As the temperatures dip below freezing this week I long for the warm sunny days we had in London, England. On day seven we walked to Ottolenghi’s restaurant on Upper Street and purchased a picnic lunch for the four of us. Then we hopped onto a double decker bus and made our way to Regent’s Park.
Regent’s Park is one of the Royal Parks of London. It lies within north-west London. It is home to Queen Mary’s Gardens and the London Zoo. There are numerous facilities and amenities, including gardens; a lake with a heronry, waterfowl and a boating area; sports pitches; and children’s playgrounds.
One of the highlights for me was Queen Mary’s Gardens. I’ve posted numerous photos of the thousands of roses that have been cultivated her in previous posts. Here are some of the other lovely sites we enjoyed that day.
The park is also home to numerous events. When we were there we had a quick glimpse of the sculpture exhibit.
As you can see we were blessed with beautiful weather that day and every day up to this point of our trip. Unfortunately the next day the skies opened up and our trip to Brighton Beach was cancelled.
