Garden Dreams...

Unfortunately we don't own a garden right now so I HAVE to rummage the gardens of our neighbourship. I am often seen - probably people consider me nuts in the meanwhile. Many might have seen me repeatedly, standing at fences and raving and drooling over the lovely treasures other people are calling their own, clickin' the camera again and again and wondering why this crazy woman is photographing those "ordinary" flowers for the 100th time. But probably I am going to take pictures for the 101rst time - I am sure...

GTS - Green Thumb Sunday

I think the best garden is a garden that has something to show off through the whole year. That might be colours as in this one, various interesting combinations of forms through trees, stones and other objects, simply showing a composition that enjoys the viewer every day no matter what weather or season.

I have photographed this specific garden many times this year and each time I went by cycling I found different colours. It was simply amazing.

I think these pictures are history for this year. The colours are receeding now awaiting the "dull" times of the year. But don't be sad - I have enough photos for a lifetime's posting during these times...

Colours in Spots

I find that this is an interesting experiment. If you want to make sure you see all colours of an image use the extruding function of photoshop and you will have interesting results you might not have realized without. If you compare above photo with the manipulated photo you will realize that the weighting of colours seems to be different although it is the same photo. Apparently the perception of the eye is a different one than the digitalized...

Garden Dreams...

I don't own a garden myself - I have only a balcony with lots of flowerpots - everything that grows inside during winter is put outside - on the floor, on sideboards, hanging all over - it's like a tiny little green jungle including bees and bumble bees and butterflies and a whole lot of other little critters and including a feral pigeon family of 2 adults and 2 x 2 kiddos....
So you will probably understand why I am crazy for flowers and colours, colours, colours....

"A Garden somewhere"

Garden Dreams...

I cannot call a garden to be my own - not yet. Therefore I have to be content with looking at the ones of others. Well - my images are available through the whole year - isn't that comforting???
