Tuesday Muse


I spent Easter in Hope, NM

Hope is a village in Eddy County.
One tradition says the community was named as the result of a coin toss.
Two settlers tossed a dime into the air and one said, "I hope you lose"
 
I thought it was named by the residents who were always hoping for rain...

Mandarin Orange Monday ~ #35


Ranunculus
In the language of flowers, a bouquet of ranunculus says,
"I am dazzled by your charm"
and I was absolutely charmed by this ranunculus.


Vibrant yellow tipped with orange and the center tips pink ... magnificent

Photo Art Friday ~ graffiti

Thank you Bonnie, I had so much fun adding graffiti to a building I photographed in Italy.

Your challenge gave the photo a reason for being!

52 Photos Project ~ Gallery 49 {Layers}

Lots of layers going on here
the base is a photo of an old mercantile,
with pieces of the original cut out
layered with an old newspaper,
layered with sunflowers,
a texture and a frame
 and in the original photograph there are layers as well!

{Tuesday Muse} March 26th


I visited my photo archives and came up with a photo taken one year ago today.

 
The photo is of my dwarf peach tree
which today is still in the grips of winter
and nary a bud to be seen!
 
Wonder if it is a conspiracy?
While this post was ready to go early this morning, I have been unable to post to my blog; have been trying to 'trick-it' on and off all day today to not avail.  Finally decided to try Explorer (I'm a Foxfire user) and low and behold, I'm posting!
