71/100 - Giddy Up!

I was looking through old photographs and found this pic of our former neighbors' horse.

70/100 Blume/Biene

This photo was taken in Rudersberg.

69/100 Mid-September

It's that time of year. In Michelau everyone is harvesting their apples.

This is a close-up of a moth on on window. It was night-time and rainy.

I am expanding upon my last blog post for my day 67. The post is at my other blog. Press here to read it.

Thanks!

58-66/100 - Closer and closer and closer

They are everywhere.


At first you don't see them.


But then you get a closer look.






                                                               Yep. There it is.

                                                          Want an even closer look?

 

A spider. Those darn things spin a web wherever they please and if you aren'tpaying attention, you'll walk right into it and end up with web in your hair.

 
Or you'll end up with this crawl-crawl-crawling in your hair.

We have a spider in our front garden that likes to spin his web from the top of the yucca plant over to the bush. No matter how often one sweeps the web away, the next morning it will be there again. I just don't bother anymore. It isn't doing any harm there. Live and let live, right? Anyway, I am not afraid of spiders.

I just don't like them spinning webs inside or in unusual places like my driver's side door. See it there attached to the mirror? Not a very good place to make a home. Especially at the speeds we travel.  

Once again, let's get a closer look.

There he (or she) is, just hanging around, waiting for food to fly onto my car door.

              

Silly spider. You haven't caught anything there. The only thing on your web is your shadow.

I felt sorry for it. Before driving away I used a twig to break the web and transport him to a more suitable home. Live well, little spider. Outside. If you come inside, my daughter will probably kill you with a very big shoe.

I wonder what it is doing now?

Ketchup, please!

Yikes! I've been AWOL from blogging and from the 100 Days of Summer project. And I am now....gulp!....about 28 days behind.I'll have to do a bit of creative finagling in order to catch up. Or ketchup as my friends say jokingly.

For instance, what about if I do one picture several ways and count them separately. Or post a few related pics based on a common theme. Or snap a a few shots on sport mode and post them as a sequence. Or I could write a short story or poem instead, though that would take more time and I am already so far behind.

Okay, then. Today I choose...

a photo several ways.

Here is the original photo of flowers in my garden.

Then if I wanted I could do some underpainting and give it a rounded frame. Those are simple changes that would make it look like this.

If, perhaps, I am a Georges Seurat fan, I might want to experiment with just a tad bit of pointillism and add a different frame.

Or to stray more from the original photo, we could change the coloring all together. How about yellow tones?

I could be patriot and use a mix of red, white and blue.

With a color pinhole and a bit of double- (or triple) vision, the photo can become this.

And to make a drastic change so that the bee in the original photo can no longer be recognized, we can go more extreme on the pointillism with very large dots and less detail.

 Now we have seven variations. I am counting this as days 51 through 57 and posing the following questions.

1) Which of the photos do you like best AND why?

2) Which do you think is my favorite?
