My Art and Photography have moved... See where to find time...

I have combined this blog with my writing blog at

If you were following my gallery, please follow me there as I will be posting my photograph and art over there from now on... 

Thanks so much for following me.

The Simple Things - Infrared palms

The Simple Things - Bark

The Simple Things - The Art Critic

This little guy was watching me from on high as I sketched the building across the street. I knew what he thought of my sketches when he started throwing nuts at me.

 

The Simple Things: Wild Flowers

The Simple Things... farmer's market

"farmer's market" 

Every Saturday morning.... Always friendly and cheerful. Great colors.

The Simple Things... Light at the end of the tunnel

"light at the end of the tunnel" 

This beautiful walkway is on the campus of Florida Institute of Technology. A simple pleasure...

Texture Thursday... bridge

"bridge"

This is the Melbourne Causeway. It was a bright day. I added the yellow to give it a different look. Not your usual postcard.

Touch-Up Tuesday.... In the field

"in the field" 

I thought I'd highlight the center of the picture and see what that did for it. It it too subtle?

The Simple Things - Fence

"in or out" 

Black Mountain is a wonderful little town just outside Asheville, North Carolina. I spent part of a summer there.  Simple things to photograph...

Texture Thursday - Egret

"blown feathers"

Touch Up Tuesday: paint brushes

"paint brushes" 

I like what the HDR effect does to this photo of brushes and watercolor water... 

I feel the artist working more vividly.

Paper... one of The Simple Things

"paper"

Paper makes a nap better... simple as that.

Texture Thursday: Turkey Creek in Infrared

Turkey Creek (infrared)

Turkey Creek in Palm Bay Florida has a beautiful boardwalk overhanging the pond. Plenty of turtles lounge there on logs. This shot is of the trees. I thought it might be interesting to have a look at it in infrared. I love the textures of the bark on the trees.

A look at the past

I love old houses. This is a particularly interesting one down near the river. It's boarded up and looking forlorn, but you can imagine what went on there long ago.

The Simple Things: Fall

"fall"

The colors of fall are rare in Florida, but I caught this little bit of autumn over at Turkey Creek Park. It reminded me of the days when I loved in Virginia...

Texture Thursday -- Postcard Perfect Day

"the beach"

Pelican Island -- Touch Up Tuesday

Pelican Island (original)

Pelican Island with HDR from Picnik
I'm not sure the touch up is better... just different.

Simple Things: Another Time

"another time"

I think the pictures say more than words what simple things mean to me. A house of memories from another time is a simple thing to me.

Sketching... up close and personal

the hand of an artist

Original

I love photos of hands... especially hands writing or drawing. With this one, I wanted to spotlight it a bit. That's all I did to make it a bit more artistic.

Contemplation

"contemplation : a simple thing"

Texture Tuesdays - Black Mountain

Kim Klaussen sent out three versions of UGGLove texture this week. I decided to try them out on this photo of the tracks in Black Mountain, North Carolina.

Let me know which one you like the best.
