After our vacation with the family in South Dakota, Husband and I took a few days in Denver. We visited the Denver Botanical Gardens.

These gardens were over the moon ! and I took LOTS of pictures. Just a few here My Canon Camera

The lilies were in full bloom, this will probably become a book cover.

Weekly Wednesday Photo my Blue Heart Flowers

All my talk lately about photo saving, filing and doing, is really about a new computer I received from Husband LAST Christmas (2017) and I JUST opened up the box and I am trying to use it. It’s also….. all about my learning the photo program, Photoshop. AND I figured with a laptop, throwing it OUT the window would be easier. But the results…I have to say with pain, “I like.”

As always, I can’t leave it there….I’m doing the research to be able to have Blue Heart printed in a HUGE wall size.

Stop back SOON !

Weekly Wednesday PHOTO

We are just back from two weeks on a plane, a car and lots of walking, aka hiking. Husband and I took 3268 pictures, yes that’s the number. Of course, lots of flowers. Here is some of mine right from the camera, only added the water mark. Saying that, I did take 17 photo’s in about a 5 minutes. I heard a photo instructor in my mind saying, “Stop editing in camera.” But…I do, I’m not a photo shop lover….Rather spend time taking photo’s than fixing them.

I have to say, “I love flowers” and daisies just seem to welcome everyone. I have been working on a series that I think will become a note card collection. I’ve been working on using light in different ways. I’ve named this set, Daisy Day.

My little camera died ! No pain, no drama, BUT it DIED ! Husband just handed over his, it also is a Canon, point and shot, but it’s a REALLY good one. I’m in a learning curve again and love the adventure of new. So these are some of my photos from January, we took a couple of days and drove down to Sanibel Island. It of course was the coldest week we have had in years. But, we had a great time. Photo’s by Beth Ann Doing See my quilt Shop

The top couple photo’s are ideas for an area contest???

It’s all in the Photo by Beth Ann

With everything being so crazy here for months….I am just getting myself back. My Mom is in a very good living place and we are getting a new normal worked out.

I haven’t done anything I have wanted to do for months, tonight I did, pulled out my photo’s and just played on Photoshop. I have always had anxiety and it has been on over drive. So, it’s huge for me to just be and be happy doing what “I” like.

Nice to see you, is from a boat ride and we walked the beach in Sarasota Bay.

Scary Beauty The Jelly fish is from Mote Marine, and of course my flowers, from ??? I even took a bit of time and entered a digital photo contest, I didn’t include them here but will after judging.

These Pictures Didn’t Make the Cut

I love taking pictures. I have taken classes, shot thousands of pictures, joined a group and just jumped in with two feet. I tried a couple competitions, but my skin wasn’t too thick. I took a year off and today I sent in digital prints, these photo’s here were close but didn’t make the cut…..I have no idea why, I think it’s at the moment kind of thing, but I really like these too.

Happy Mother’s Day to All

I love sharing my photo’s and today I’m giving myself a Mother’s Day treat. I have been working on macro photography, (up close photo’s) it’s a little hard to do with a point and shot camera, my camera, but I’m fine with that. I guess it’s my form of macro?? Or close but not too close? Happy Mother’s Day to ALL !

This is Lily….

Well….Sometimes you just have to try AGAIN

I know I’m getting old, BUT a few weeks ago I posted some of my before and afters of flowers. WELL…. I forgot to post the before’s. And the really SAD thing about it is “I” didn’t even notice it…..I had to be told….OH MY… So, I’m going to TRY again, here is the before and after. Thank you noticing and thank you photo software.

Today is my Birthday !

And I’m getting OLD. Yes….OLD.

Yes, 59 in the NEW 39. Yeah, you keep believing that. It’s not, it’s 59.

Old bones, gray hair and these brown spots had seem to have a life of their own. It’s all about preservation at this time. Keep the body moving or things will start growing….Where it should NOT be growing. Where getting out of a chair can take on a whole process itself….REALLY. BUT, I’m laughing my way through it.. Or trying too, what’s a Lady to do ?

GET OLD…Wise and HAPPIER. And I Laugh, out loud. I know I shouldn’t sometimes, BUT, I’m OLD. So I do ! HA !

So today as most days it’s ALL ABOUT ME. Go over and purchase a quilt pattern for yourself and me !

So, it’s my Birthday and here are two of my Flower Photo’s. I LOVE them. These are “after’s” and then before’s. Just a bit of computer work on them. Nothing is really as it seems ! Not even 59 Years Old today…I AM 59??? Holy Shit…
