Time Passages

These mums were given to my grandmother following her surgery (by the way she is up and about and doing great) and of course I jumped at the opportunity to take a few images. I shot about 100 various images of closeups, macros with and without flash. Here are a few of my favorites of the lot. I did have to edit the images slightly but I restricted it to cropping adding saturation and warming the colors.


















I have also been busy antiquing a small unfinished bookcase I purchased from a local store. It turned out quite well, as I used a black semi-gloss paint and then sanded it to reveal the wood underneath. I have images but will have to post later. I also, have stumbled on a family treasure, a 150 year old treen. It is absolutely beautiful and has survived many generations and a fire.
