I wish is was true in the world as well as my garden.

First of the year
So long for now, May
For Bushboy’s Last on Card, Cee’s Flower of the Day and Wordless Wednesday.

I used Topaz Studio 2 to get a painterly effect on these photos.

A winter rose
We had some snowy days at the end of last year and, for no particular reason, I didn’t really sit down with the pictures I took until recently. Snow is so pretty and it brightens the world up a lot. Around here where the days are short and we don’t generally get snow the winters can seem pretty dim.
I gave this rose a bit of a painterly effect by using the impression filter in Topaz Studio 2.

Battered by recent storms but still lovely, in a wabi-sabi kind of way.
Gan Xingfu (chasing happiness) 赶兴福
This November I am chasing happiness by photographing and sharing one lovely thing I see each day. I do edit the photos, often with an artistic effect like the one above, because playing with a lovely thing makes me happy.
Note: My son checked with his co-workers and, while they haven’t heard the phrase gan xingfu, they thought it was just fine to use.

Whatsoever is lovely…day 4
Today is pretty rainy…but, if you are looking for lovely, then raindrops on roses are a classic. Not plural today though: there is just the one brave flower blooming.
