TADD: Enchanted

This week's theme for Rain's Art and Dinner Date is enchanted.

For this week's offering, I had fun exploring filters in Gimp photo editor. The picture was taken of our woods, and for the effects I used Gimp's gradient flair, curves, bloom, and softglow.

TADD: Fog

 I was hoping for a foggy morning this week so I could get a photo for Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date. This week's theme is fog. Yesterday we had a mist rising, but that's about it.

So I got to thinking about Gimp. I downloaded a free transparent image of fog, and used Gimp to have some fog fun.

November Walk in the Woods

Our autumn color is past its peak and more subtle now. The leaves are falling, and by the end of the month, most of the trees will be bare.

TAD: Colourful June: Silver & Gold

The theme for Rain's Thursday Art Date this week is silver and gold. Since I've been doing the "colourful June" series with photos of flowers and garden, I admit I was stumped about silver and gold. I usually think of these as metallic colors, although with flowers, golden yellow is sometimes called gold, or silver grey is sometimes called silver. 

After some pondering, I decided to exercise some artistic license and interpret silver and gold metaphorically. So, I present to you, my homestead silver and gold.

Compost is truly garden gold.

Homegrown eggs and milk.

The garden.

The fruit of our labors.

Winter warmth.

Honestly? These things are worth more to me than money in the bank. 

These are our homestead silver and gold.
