Visiting the Nursery

Hello my dear readers! Welcome to my new reader(s) in Macau! How exciting to have you come by this page! Recently I was able to visit a nursery and was just transported, not only with all of the lovely plants, but really the ceramics. All the pots were sorted mostly by colour, and it was a lot of fun to look at.

This isn't a completely exhaustive look at all the photos I took on my little excursion, but being in these surroundings made me feel happy and at ease, and I wanted to share that feeling- if it can be conveyed through photos. 

Favorite colour!

Lemon-lime!

Shadows grow long... 

Banzai! Bonsai! (Hurray! Bonzai!)

Accidental shadow shot! Haha!

So good to get my hands on a nice camera!

High-fashion

 I could see this one pinned to the lapel of a Haute-Couture dress.

Draining dishes

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet... But some just want to be Sexy-Rexy! : p (I know; corny... still, I had to!)

Hope you'll have great time if you check out your local nursery. Thanks for stopping by! 

WaterLouge: A Watercolor Fantasy

Happy very late Thursday evening everyone! I was afraid I wouldn't get to post anything at all today, but it turned out to be possible after all. 

Some time ago my sister got an iPad to use at work. She found an application that changes photographs into virtual watercolor paintings. I sent her some photos I took while on a water color adventure, myself. I didn't turn up with too much that was ready to post, but this little app turned photos from a lovely little spot into a dreamy painting pastiche. I thought I might share them with you.

This one shows a slight rainbow lens flair.

The Original photograph

The application is called Waterlouge and it takes the above photo, for example, and gives you the options below, and some more as well.

It was good for me to watch, as it shows you the graphite, the lightest colors going down first and the darker colors being added eventually. Hopefully I'll remember some of those principles as I sit down with my watercolor set next time.

great little place 

Thanks for checking out this short little post. I've got lots more photos from my Oregon trip, but am not having the best of luck putting those things together quite yet. More from me soon, hopefully!

Thanks for reading! Happy (now) Friday! Haha!

P.S. I thought I might share with you a little song song that I feel goes with the view. :)
