Day 137 – “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” – Henry David Thoreau
Dreamer
Rockford Teachers Strike 2012
Day 136 – The school district and the teachers’ union could not reach a tentative agreement last night. Classes are cancelled today although more negotiation meetings are scheduled for this afternoon. I wonder what lessons will be learned from this experience?
*Full credit for this photo must be given to my talented son who took the picture because I was driving. Thanks kiddo!
Wanderlust
Day 135 – I dream of distant shores where the world is new and nothing is so familiar as to be taken for granted.
Onda Blomma
Day 134 – I thought the underside of this lovely tulip looked like a monster face with a long nose, so I decided to have some fun with it. The title “Onda Blomma” is Swedish for “Evil Flower”.
Daffodil
Day 133 – I knew a woman who loved daffodils. She painted them on sheets of shale with delicate calligraphy.
Faded Flowers
Day 132 – Another day spent in the garden and then in the photo studio. These beautiful pink tulips are really vibrant but I had fun adjusting the colors and texture of the photograph. I can’t wait for the irises to bloom this summer.
Garden Blossoms
Day 131 – The garden is bursting with beautiful colors. I had a hard time picking out my favorite today. I chose the little grape hyacinth since blue is my favorite color.
Nun’s Orchids
Day 130 – Nun’s Orchids using a few filters and color adjustments.
Fading Away
Day 129 – I posted this print today on my Fine Art America site. I titled it, “Flowers for Thee”. Sometimes I have trouble finding just the right title for a photograph. What title would you give this piece?
Flying Kite
Day 128 – Warm spring wind gusts took our kite pretty high up. It took a wild ride up there until it crashed into the lilac bush.
