4-1-16 ~Two New Views of My Favorite Tree

"The tree which moves some to tears of joy 

is in the eyes of others only a green thing which is in their way."

~William Blake 

For this picture I used two of Kim Klaassen's textures, duplicated one, 

and changed the coloration with a "hue" level.

If you look, you will see all the new growth coming forth.

#27 ~ Jack in His Maze and Other Snow Scenes

Our World Tuesday at Home

Just a little while ago I walked into the living room, and this poor baby is what I found.

What in the world happened to it?

Maybe it hit the door and then Jack messed with it outside. and brought inside. 

The cat does not ever go out.

I tried to get a picture of the yellow on the head so it would help you all to identify it for me.

This always makes me so sad...but NEVER, has one been brought into the house...

that is saved for the mice that the cat catches at night in the lower cabinets.

Yes....We live in a very OLD farmhouse, and you cannot kill all the mice.

 My Favorite Tree in the Snow

 Hay Bales on the Way Home

Whenever we have a large snow, we build Jack a little maze.

I pretend is the one at Hampton Court.

I have never seen a little dog have such a good time...and his Mommy.

 Oops...Buddy, You dead ended me into a big tree. You need to be more careful. 

I could get hurt.

Get out here, please, and fix it for me. This is my peeing tree, duffus.

 The VA Dep’t of Transportation's big gravel pile.

 You can see that they have been moving up and down.

This is our front yard off to the left f the house. I thought the shadows were so cool.

The big field in front of the house with its shadows.

#13 ~ High on Coffee in My Favorite Tree

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as 

sunshine flows into trees.  The winds will blow their freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”

~John Muir, The Mountains of California

#6 ~ My Favorite Tree on a Sunny Day

“Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness.”
Khalil Gibran

This is Day 6 of the 365 days of 2016.  I wonder if I will really make it. 
I tried it once before a number of years back and failed.
We shall see.

Experimentation with My Favorite Tree

Experiment Each Day and You’ll Create

“Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, 

taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun."

~Mary Lou Cook

My favorite tree on a beautiful day.  ~ SOC

And here is where the fun started. 

Creativity through  Experimentation.

Manipulation and the use of textures.

I find it interesting that in the last three pictures the two mountains look more like sand piles rather than to rather impressive smaller mountains and that the perspective changes. Photography can be so fascinating.
