Just a few shots along the way…
Amazing how the exact same scene can look so different depending on how you treat it. All I had when walking on this path was my iphone. It was a pretty little scene but it needed something more. So I played with the filters in the PhotoStudio app for iphone. Now each one looks so different and I can’t figure out which I like best. What do you think?
Below is a gallery of my daffodils and tulips that I thought was quite fitting for Easter.
I love the character that tulips get as they unfold. I also love them because they are the first to welcome Spring in this area.

We drove along the Merced River in California today and the hills were electrifying with golden poppies. Apparently we hit it just right for the spectacular show of the California state flower to be in bloom on mass. This along the purple flower from the Western Redbud made a stunning show for the eyes as the color spilled down the hillside like a dusting of golden snow. It should be pretty for another week or so get up and see for yourself!
I think color is my favorite of this breathtaking rainbow I saw today.
Clicking on the image will make it bigger so you can see the double bow.
There was so much contrast in the image though so I wondered how it would look as a black and white and so my results are below with a slightly different crop. You be the judge!
Ok I guess I am being sarcastic with that subject like but this was just too good not to pass along. Anyone who has done any photography will understand. http://www.bythom.com/painofphotography.htm
Apparently every year Pantone (the world authority on color) picks a color. For 2012 it’s Tangerine Tango (Pantone 17-1463). You can download the color palette from their website.
I was a bit intrigued by the color choice for this year and realized they might be right. I have been leaning towards warm charged colors for a little while now. I wondered what would have happen if I did a little color overlay on a sunrise I recently took. Below is the that tangerine tango overlay and here is a link to the original. It’s a subtle difference but see what you think!
