And the blossoms. How their color seems to change depending on the direction of light
It snowed Saturday night.
But this was Sunday morning. I thought a cool photo would be pear blossoms and white snow in the same frame. Couldn’t find a spot with enough snow left.

From #creativesprint Blog spot Day 2
“Author Hans Christian Anderson was born on this day in 1805. Make something inspired by a children’s fable or fairy tale.”
The Three Bears at home for breakfast with a bit of backlighting.
I’m thinking making photography is making art. Looking forward to seeing what fellow participants are posting for day 2.
Landscape is the weekly photo challenge, “typically displayed in a horizontal orientation” Cheri Lucas Rowlands
You can see I shot this landscape in a vertical orientation as well.
(August 2006 when visiting my brother in Washington)
Screen shots from online storage are not the best resolution. Have to dig out an external hard drive to hunt for 2006 landscapes original files from Washington trip.
and another favorite landscape is a cityscape of Pittsburgh at Night
Duquesne Incline at Night
From #Creativesprint
“Whenever you embark on a new journey, it is important to remember that it is the individual steps that get you to your destination. This is why we always start a CreativeSprint the same way.
Day 1
Make something that fits in the palm of your hand, using only materials from your immediate environment.”
Immediate environment? I did not have to leave my bed this morning to make Rudolph the Red Nosed Rodent. The jiggly eyes leftovers from the art room, in a clear ziploc.
Would you believe I had a plastic egg of erasure compound that cleans mats, right on my night table? (like gummy art erasers)
A ball head pin from my zippered knitting notions case for the nose, a pen made the Swiss cheese wedge.
Photographed, tagged, shared. So this is what the #creativesprint challenge is about.
I bet there are lots of mice in the palms of hands but none with a red nose.
