walking Miss Daisy {241/365}

This week’s Sunday Creative word prompt is “illuminate”.  I immediately had a ton of ideas. Honestly, I think I could do an entire week’s worth of shots around “illuminate”.

I still might. heh.

(well, maybe not a week’s worth)

(that might be a little much)

But then tonight, unplanned, spur of the moment and a total accident …

walking Miss Daisy 241/365

illuminate vb. 1. To supply or brighten with light: light up

And there you have it.

(holy crap, posting the SC on an actual Sunday … go me)

And it should also be said that both subjects in this shot have me totally wrapped around their little fingers.

errr … paws.

Whatever.

Pure love, illuminated :)

orient {240/365}

This week’s Sunday Creative prompt is ‘orient’ and I went with this …

v.tr.
4. To determine the bearings of.

"orient" 240/365

At first, I had that thumbtack stuck directly on my little town.

And then I figured I might as well publish my address and telephone number while I was at it.

Right?

Duh.

Still, Toronto is close enough.  And I did keep the shot with my town.  I like it :)

A lot of directions (no pun intended – honest) this word prompt could have taken and as usual I’m last minute girl, so this is what I’m going with.  I didn’t want to miss the party twice in a row, misjudging time zones.

I may (or may not) (probably not) be back later with something else :)

evening fence {239/365}

Although I hate the passing of time, I’m quite happy to see the sun set on this insanely busy week.

sunny {238/365}

It’s that time of year again!

238.365

I love sunflowers :)

This was taken in my livingroom, in front of a window to blow out the background a bit (although I had a little TOO much blowout) and using my lightscoop. Elizabeth Halford, the genius woman that she is, has this tutorial on her site all about whitening and brightening a not-quite-right background using lightroom adjustment brushes.  This is the third time I’ve tried it and omg I love her and her tutorials.

(she’s also a very nice woman who took the time to answer what turned out to be a really duh question from me … thanks girl!)

I then put one of my cloud textures on top of my (now) crisp white background, masked out the sunflower, and voila.

WHY on earth would I want to do all that?

I left things to the last minute and the sun had already almost set.

*wink

PS – next time you’re out and about and see some nice fluffy clouds? Snap a few shots. They come in handy :)
