Top o'the Morning to ya, Spring!

Adjusted my clocks around the house as I slipped into Spring mode this morning. I am already enjoying this change, as everything seems to sprouting a little bit earlier this year. Is it just my imagination or am I experiencing global warming up close and personal?

It was rainy and dismal most of the day, but I had picked up some daffodils at the grocery store--mine aren't yet up--and they provided just the energy lift I needed.

So, with a tip o' my Tam to St Paddy's Day, here are a couple iPhone shots of the green!

Happy Spring!

Technological Setbacks and Day 67

Uber challenging to be a photographer without a camera or edit photographs without a computer! Both pieces of equipment seem to be doing some untoward, quirky things that make me very uncomfortable. I get the distinct impression that both are going to crash and burn, a very technical term. Hah! No, it's not funny, but I just have to hope and pray both tools will stay with me just a little longer!

I came across some daffodils next to a turquoise sign and could not resist using the contrast of organics and angles. I've embued one of the images with a dry brush effect, and the other with a watercolor effect.

Project 365 and Spring (Cont.)

The blossoms are probably the most evident signs of spring right now, but looking a little closer at those seemingly dead branches and dried seed pods that weathered through the autumn and winter, promise of green leaves to come ... even among the thorns. Ma Nature at work.

Aesthetically, I liked the round shapes in red and brown, and the angles of the branches forming triangles, squares, defining shapes ... and yes, the thorns.

A Daffy 365 ...

Out running errands late in the afternoon. The golden light at that time of the day is glorious. I went a little daffy! The second photo has a watercolor effect.

All is Right and Another 365

It's spring! Well, it will be Sunday, officially. But crocus don't know from officially. They just pop up out of the cold soil when it's right. And this is all right with me!
