Photo Fun ...Thursday?

`
Surely I can post my Wednesday Photo Fun on Wednesday...next week. Sleep has been an illusive thing. So I will leave you with just images this week.





 Backyard garden in the rain, Blacksburg, VA-July 10, 2012
 (first post-surgery images with my Canon 5D...shhh don't tell. My cell phone was just not enough)



 Same image-super zoomed in and filtered in photoshop.
Can you find the heart shape?

  1. Beautiful...make me wish for something besides a little digital camera! My daughter bought a canon last week and her pics are so clear!,,,,on a side note, my husband had an appendix surgery the other week-end and he is not sleeping very well since then either! I wish you many deep z-z-z-z's soon!

    Love the shade of that pink glad!

    1. Thank you Janet-I have had these glads for nearly 20 years...I love them every time they bloom. I hope your husband finds some sleep soon. I have succumbed to using a sleep aid.So I am spacier than normal, if that's possible.

  6. I won't tell, Teri! I know my camera is like my third arm now, and I can't imagine being without it - even for a little while!

    I actually see at least 3 hearts in your beautiful blue flowers!

    Which, by the way, are just as gorgeous in black & white.

    You are in my thoughts as you recuperate - I hope you get some sleep soon!

  20. Boy, you fence leaves me with a locked in feeling ... very erie. Loved your flower photos as well, even though you took them on the sly. Hope your post surgical condition is good and that you don't overdo before you should. I am a nurse so I worry about things like that, having seen what can happen. Be well and thank you for visiting my blog ... the start of a lasting exchange of comments, I hope.

    1. Andrea-

      I appreciate your wonderful visit and comments.I actually really appreciate your timely reminder to go easy. It is taking a lot of restraint on my part to use my cell phone for the next few weeks. The fence photo sums up my fenced in feeling. BUT it was taken with my cell phone yesterday while out for a walk. I look forward to our future visits.

      Love the photo of you on your page with the hawk-amazing!

    Photo effects surely makes a photo completely different from the original. It enhances and makes it beautiful. Thanks for sharing
