Black and White Wednesdays with The Long Road to China

I was playing around in the kitchen today, taking lots of pictures of the beautifully colored produce that we have been provided with. While going through them yesterday, I came across the photo I used for today and thought of how perfect it would be in black and white! So here it is. I hope you like the edit as much as I do! :

Enjoy your day! :)

 My photo for today's Touch Up Tuesday is from my Mother-In-Laws garden area. I love the coloring in them, yet when they are all together, it really does not stand out. So after playing around with the photo a bit, I like it much better.

While walking out back yesterday, I noticed these on the ends of the needles of what I thought was a pine tree... Hmmmm.

My Shadow Shot Sunday for Hey Harriet was taken at a tiny  swimming area in New Port Richey, FL. I have no clue on what type of bird it is, but I really liked the bird and his shadow.

Check out lots of other wonderful shadow shots at Hey Harriet

This is a  picture of my "baby" boy. He's 12yrs old and weighs in around 21 lbs. I've edited it to accentuate his eyes, nose and the dragonfly in the grass that he is lazily staring at. lol

 

Check out Camera Critter Saturdays for lots more pictures of critters of all types, shapes and sizes. 

Macro Flower Saturday

I stumbled upon Maia's blog, Macro Flower Pictures, the other day and decided to join her Macro Flower Saturday Meme.

I love taking macro shots and even though I couldn't grow a flower to save my life, unless it's on a veggie plant, I still love to photograph them.

Here's my shot of the day. The original SOOC and a version that I edited just because. I hope you enjoy them!

SOOC

Edited with PS CS3

I hope you enjoy!

It's Macro Friday! YAY!

I just love playing around with macro shots. The camera I use all the time is hubby's. He did buy me one, that is "nicer" than his, but guess what? I don't think it takes better macro shots, even though it's 10mp's and his is only 6. Soooo, I "traded" with him. :)

Onto to today's Macro Friday with Laura from Blogging From Bolivia. She takes stunning photos. I specially love the contrast photos and macro shots she takes. Check it out. Heck, why not join in? Come on ~ It's FUN!

Onto my photo for Macro Friday. I took this photo yesterday while wandering around outside with the camera. I'm giving you a before and after. Why? When I've shown only my edited photos, I've had some people ask to see the before photo. So, why not?  : )

SOOC Shot

I completely desaturated the green from the leaves in the background, added some more blues to make the center pop a bit, and brought on the sunshine. :)

A Canon PowerShot S3IS was my weapon of choice and PS CS3 my destruction tool.

Thanks for stopping by and remember to SMILE!

Black & White Wednesdays

I stumbled across a wonderful blog about a family at The Long Road to China.The stories - touching, the photos, stunning! Anyhooo, Lisa hosts Black & White Wednesdays and I've decided to join them. This will be my first linking up with them.

I snapped a photo of this little guy perched on a stray branch of a bush cherry plant. I snapped many at the time, just to ensure I got at least one that I liked. When I first seen this on the computer screen, I immediately imagined what it would look like in black and white reversed. So, I played around with it in PS CS3 and here's the result. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I'm outta here. I'm working for 30 more minutes then I'm off to school for my Intro to Software Development class. Enjoy your day everyone and remember to smile!   : )
