french cafe table

I recently purchased an upholstered bench as an added touch to our house decor, but also as a prop for my photography sessions. I've found that things like this, a french table - as another example - can add a lot to the atmosphere and the overall look of my photographs. Far from being just another frivolous item added to a picture - and a frivolous expense, as my husband seems to think - it can actually change the whole tone of a photograph and produce quite spectacular results.

So the piece of furniture I lately acquired will be far from the last one I purchase. I'll be keeping my eye out for other pieces to add to my collection of atmosphere enhancing photographic props.

Hyacinths

These are purple Hyacinths that I bought at the grocery store a couple weeks ago. I took tons of shots because I know it won’t last long. I used different settings and I also used texture that I bought from Patti Brown. I never used texture before and today I played with it. I think I’m getting hooked!

bee on a yellow flower

 

I just love this beautiful yellow flower. I took this shot some years ago during summertime of course. Now I MISS gardening. I also love this shot because of the bee and how I captured it perfectly with blurry background. I love it really! Do you?

practicing bokeh shot

 

I have been practicing how to take bokeh background. It’s very popular to most photographers. I still have to learn this bokeh technique. That’s why my Christmas tree is still up until now. I need the light to work on my bokeh background. If you have some advice or anything that can help me please let me know! Thanks

road view

 

When travelling on the road hubby is always the driver. That’s great! That way I could take some pictures like this one. It was taken last December on the way to my in-laws place. This is just the highway 6 and you can see the view up ahead. It was taken through my windshield glass.

Prickly Wild Rose

Rosa acicularis
Prickly Wild Rose is a bushy shrub and commonly widespread in Ontario region. In general it’s usually densely prickles with many straight and slender thorns. It sweetly smells with their fragrant pink roses. Most part of rose shrubs is edible but the sweet nutritious hips are most commonly eaten and used to make tea.

Red-White Tulips

Tulips are one of favorite flowers in the spring. They only cone out in North America during that time. It’s a shame they don’t stay long for us to enjoy. But I don’t know in other country. They might stick longer or probably not. Anyway Tulips comes in different kinds of colors and I’m sharing a red-white tulips.

I love Hydrangeas

These flowers were taken last summer at Meadowville Garden Centre. Don’t you love these flowers? They are very pretty. We always visited this particular garden centre in July because they animals show in the premises. I can’t wait to go back this summer. That reminds me I need some seeds for my garden. First I need to do make some garden beds. We are new to this house and they aren’t garden beds here at all except a few flowers in the front. I already have some seeds that I need to sow indoor but I need more!

Pink Roses

Here’s my entry for Today’s flower. I just love roses especially red ones but pink are pretty too. These roses were taken last summer at my friend’s house. Look at the petals. Aren’t they gorgeous?
