mornings {18/52}

posted by janice on May 6, 2012 · wanna leave a comment?

In my love affair with natural light, I'm often hard-pressed to decide which I like best - morning light or evening? Both equally beautiful, evening light is soft, romantic, dreamy. Morning light, while still holding those same qualities, is simply chock full of promise. The dawn of a new day.

And aside from that magical light, morning holds infinite possibilities. Carpe Diem, my friends. Seize the Day.

These photos and a few more from this week (hello instagram!) can be found on flickr :)

Ah, St Patrick's Day. The day the entire world claims to be Irish :)

Last year, I made my way around town enjoying the festivities (alcohol free, no less!) and snapping photos. This year, I stayed close to home and watched daughter and her friends Irish themselves up for a night of fun.

I think I'll leave the partying to them. These days, I'm quite content to stay at home.
And take photos.
And eat cupcakes :)

My quick contribution to this week's focus52 prompt, still life.

I love taking photos of fruit. And it seems I can't resist working them into some sort of art piece, adding textures and whatnot.

Two gorgeous textures here, one from the always fabulous Kim Klassen and another from my new-found friend, Eva Ricci. This year, Eva has started a twelve month creative project called Art of Texture. Each month she gives away one of her beautiful textures and provides four themes to choose from. If you're interested, you can check out her website here and her Art of Texture flickr group here. It seems I always end up taking on too many projects each year, but a once a month commitment I can definitely handle. Besides, her textures are fantastic.

There's also a photoshop brush used between these layers. The faint writing you see isn't from the textures, it's from a lovely set of brushes from French Kiss.

Do you play around with your photos at all? Are you a texture addict like I am? :)

This is "whoopie pie".

And yes, I totally bought this because of the name :)

Not to mention, it was beyond yummy.

The prompt for today's Picture The Holidays assignment was 'the day after'. Well, the day after still finds my house filled with all kinds of scrumptious food and goodies, to the point where I almost feel guilty for so much abundance.

'Tis the season.

Just ask my waistline ;)

From Picture The Holidays:

What helps you to slow down, take a deep breath and enjoy the moment? Capture it! Tools for peace of mind can consist of anything. Maybe it's reading a few pages of your favorite book or just some cleansing exhales that help you. Creatively capture that thing you need to soothe your soul.
