Belief, hope and imagination are perhaps the three most important ingredients in life (love is a given). It’s been said that a picture needs not be explaind, but I want to tell how I arrived to the version you see. I was looking at the picture as I took it and, from a certain bent of my imagination, I had the impression it looked a bit like a bird with the wings spread in flight. And that inspired me to give the original a “magic touch” and make it look more like a dream flight. The transition into blur and B&W would like to depict the undefined boundaries between the normal awareness state and the dream state, that particular place or state where anything and everything is possible and where all the miracles of creation happen: the land between the ordinary and the miraculous. I hope I have captured that essence. / / /

First Runner Up – 6/25/09 – Warm Red challenge – Backyard Closeups group! Thank you everyone! FIRST PLACE – 11/30/08 – Spring Blooms – The Christmas Touch challenge – thank you members!!!! After a very rainy night, the fog and dew was very heavy on this spring morning in May 2008. The geranium buds looked liked they were decorated for Christmas! CHRISTMAS IN MAY /
I am really sick of winter, however today I was in my yard and spotted a few blossoms opening up on the tree by the side of the road. I couldn’t help my self but take some photos and dream of spring….. The back ground is just the sky.. I actually have 2 more images that I also like so I might put them up and see how they go :o)
A shot of some flower stems and buds that reminded me of space and the cosmos. And then of CS Lewis and his Space Trilogy, for some reason. I have yet to read it. But I love the name of that book. Please see my Etsy listing for this image – and purchase a pearlescent metallic print of this mysterious image. This photo is seen in two of my calendars – please take a look at them! / Everyday Mysteries A Bouquet

Here is another one from my macro collection. Again, I’m my own worse critic so wasn’t too sure about this one so I’ll let you decide.
Where do I begin with this piece? I have a lovely sweet pea vine that comes up along the back of my house every summer. The blooms are so pretty and the raindrops so exquisite on the pink petals and tendrils. It’s my favorite spot to obtain raindrop macros. After several photo shoots with this vine over the summer I tried to get a little more creative and put more of ‘myself’ into the image – literally! On the very top of the stem where you see a fine loop covered in waterdrops – that is actually a piece of my hair. Yes, I subjected myself to a moment of pain for this (smiles). / / Other than minor tone adjustments, and a slight saturation tweak, on the sweet pea stem itself – that part of the original image was left alone. I did so much to the background I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I don’t think there was a filter or distort tool I didn’t try until I finally achieved the look I wanted! I envisioned a pastel background with a marble look and am quite pleased with how it turned out. Raindrop Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST /
