Dew Drops Part 2 ~ The Dynamic Dandelion

Well I'm very pleased with the results of my Spider's Web pictures. Thank you everyone they definitely look like the spiders during the night decked out their webs with special jewels!!! You can only see them if you get up early enough in the morning to catch the decor. Well for my follow up encore of the same them......right within the same location actually I took these shots. I at first just zoomed in to see if the detailing of the dew would even be visible to see... or if you just had a soaking wet Dandelion. WELL to my amazement you could actually see every individual dew drop. I was totally stunned and awed with the beauty in what I was seeing again through the lens of my camera. I have to tell you I just love my camera it's like my third eye into a world I would never ever see or notice. If I was just going for a walk without my camera I would have never ever have notice this.

The Morning Dew ~ A Spider's Dew Jewels

Well I took a day off on Friday...just because I needed one now that I'm working 7 days a week. I wanted to capture some of the things we at times don't notice or even see. I wanted to capture dew on many different forms of nature...the sure sign of fall with all the wonderful moisture in the air that naturally collects on a variety of things. Like these spider's webs. I wanted to show you what the sun can do to make these wonderful works of art just explode with excitement. The Spider's Web....stunning...so stunning.

Fabulous Fruit Fridays!!! ~ The Zestful Orange

Goodmorning and yes Happy Fabulous Fruit Friday!! Today's feature is the orange and I did three different things with this fruit to add some drama and flair to this particular shot. So under each photo I will tell all of you what I did!! In this top shot I got the boys to take a eye dropper and place it under the water to shoot air across the mirror that I have placed under the orange...this effect then made the water shimmer adding some depth and excitement in front of the orange rather than just a simple reflection.

In the middle shot again I had the boys use an eye dropper and I attempted to capture a water drop hitting the water as you see here in the middle. I should have used a higher speed shutter but I still like the effect I have here...soft and dynamic.

Then in the final shot I simply took a nice shot utilizing the mirror and water under the orange. So tell me which shot is more appealing to you? Happy Friday everyone!

Managed To Fit In A Walk Between The Drops ~ Part 2

I'm posting the second half of my walk....I tend to notice the smaller things the simple things that seem to make me happy. Doesn't take much does it? But does something need to be large to make us happy....I figured out long ago that Grandma was right it truly is the small and simple things in life that make us happy or what you make of life makes you happy. One or the other are strong and true statements. Take your time and you will see nature reflected back at you in these lovely drops. In the leaf in particular you can see the reflection of a tree turning color. Have a wonderful day :)

Manged To Fit In A Walk Between The Drops ~ Part 1

Well I managed to get out yesterday afternoon late....I watched it rain like Cats N Dogs all day! So between all the rain drops I headed out for my very favorite walk to UVIC's Gardens, since it's across the road I knew I could get some lovely shots off before it got dark on me. Notice how it's getting darker sooner...bummmer....that's one thing about summer I enjoy the most. The fact you can still be outside at 8 or 9 at night and it's still nice and bright out before sunset. So here are some lovely flowers I found...a bit wet but lovely none the less.

Water Effects ~ The Beauty in a Water Drop

Morning...yep here I am again obsessed with water...LOL what else is new. I find it truly fascinating what water can do for plants and for a photograph. This is an area that I need allot of practice on. I have seen what you can do with water from Flickr...stunning work on there....Wow. My objective though is to bring the beauty in everything that Nature has to offer us. There is so much that I haven't even touched on yet...and look forward to investigating over time. I wanted to bring a little sparkle for all of you today when you come. I hope you enjoy my Water Drop post. Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Water Effects ~ From our Rain Fall

I don' t know about you but I get excited when it rains....why do you ask? Simply because it adds some dynamic power to things that you would never notice otherwise. Take this gorgeous spiders web strung between these ripening blackberries. It looks like the spider is going to give a party and has decorated it's web with party lanterns!!! This Spider has the best looking pad in town. Now look at these beautiful berries....why they look good enough to eat don't they...I wouldn't eat them though not safe for the Human species that's for sure. But the image is so fresh looking.

This image is just simply put lovely....I love the water effects that just adds to the beauty of Nature.

Wild Sweet Peas caught in the rain

During one of my weeks at home recovering there was about 3 days that we had rain on and off. On the last day of rain my husband took me out with my camera, even though I couldn't walk much, he took me to my favorite place Cattle Point where he knew I would find wonderful things to take pictures of. He knows I love capturing nature just after a rain fall, everything looks so fresh and clean and the water droplets adds that whole different dynamic into the pictures. At least that is what I think and feel...you might not like your flowers looking wet and soggy but I do!! LOL

Water N Roses

Roses what beautiful flowers...I can never get enough of them. These shots are some taken in my garden, just after a rain fall. The water just glistens off them I couldn't resist taking some lovely shots. I would like to also mention that a rose just isn't a rose without the beautiful smell that goes with them. I know there are alot of species that don't have a smell....which is a shame really. All my scented roses planted under my living room window so that when I open the window in the summer time months the smell fills the whole house with such a lovely aroma...it's like heaven.

Three dops

While out yesterday I took advantage of the morning light...went into UVIC's gardens and got some great pond reflections and some lovely dew and drop shots on foliage....I just love the feel of freshness in these shots....bright, soothing and refreshing all at the same time....Love what water can do for an image.
