Today was a cold but sunny beautiful fall day.
I had scheduled myself to be at home all day in order to get the last of my fall cleaning done,
which was to deep clean the pantry and kitchen cupboards and drawers before the holidays.
I did manage to get that accomplished,
but only after I took advantage of the light to play around with a few still life shots.

When I edited this still life all I could think of was this silly song that my husband sings with the grandkids.
So, I just decided to go with it!
still following,
Очень красиво!
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by!
DeleteI really really love the first set up! I love the tones and the texture work in them.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Desirae! I can be critical of my own work and wondered if they were too dark.
DeleteFirst of all, I'm a little jealous that you managed the deep clean of your kitchen - and now I need to head in that same direction!. Love your fall-inspired images. The second rosehip photo is my favorite. And the little chickens are adorable -and the image of your husband singing that little song to the grandkids is a beautiful picture, too!
ReplyDeleteDonna, those dreaded jobs feel so good once they are all done! Thanks for your comment on my photos. I think the rosehip photos might be my favorites, too.
DeleteWaving at you, Elizabeth! I don't know how to to all that special editing, but I sure enjoy seeing yours! A well-deserved recreation after accomplishing the task of deep cleaning......
ReplyDeleteWaving back at you, Rebecca! You are a blessing to me!
DeleteWonderfull photos, Elisabeth!
ReplyDeleteI like it!
Hugs Britta
Thank you so much, Britta!
DeleteLove these photos. I have not dived into still life photography yet and can see that it is a craft that will take some time to perfect. I love how pictures tell a story. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteStill life is fun and creative and easier than photographing humans or animals that move! :)
DeleteI love those dried berries (?) and the wood paneling behind the first shot -such beautiful natural texture!
ReplyDeleteThe "wood paneling" is an old crate set on end. Another photographer online gave me the idea!
DeleteI'd never heard that little ditty before :). Your still lifes are lovely-I like the berries one best.
ReplyDeleteAbrianna, I think its a silly song like children learn at camp and such. Thanks so much for your kind comment about my photos!
Deleteit's fun to stop and play a little while we are working around the house, i find myself doing that more and more lately. your photos are just lovely and i really love everything you have in the crock, especially the feathers :) such cute little chickens too lol
ReplyDeleteSandy, thanks so much for stopping by and for your encouraging comment about my photos!
DeleteI do love those rose hips! I'm not sure I've ever seen such an abundance of them. And the feathers in the arrangement....I don't recognize them. Beauties, for certain.
ReplyDeleteThe feathers were bought at a craft store, so I have not idea. I love the rose hips, too. I think the old fashioned more wild roses are the ones that have them most.
DeleteBeautiful images - I love the set-up and textures in the first two images (gosh that would make a wonderful birthday card!). Cute little chickens too!
ReplyDeleteYour encouragement means a lot to me. Thank you!
DeleteVery lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah!
DeleteThis is a beautiful photo series, and I especially like the rosehips. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Carola!
DeleteLol ... I remember that little 'ditty', too, Elizabeth! And now, I can't get it out of my head! Such beautiful images and your processing makes them even more so! Blessings to you! :)
ReplyDeleteHaHa! That's exactly why it ended up on my photo. I couldn't get it out of my head either!
DeleteBeautiful textures! My favorite of your images is the white pitcher. Glad you took time from your cleaning to play with photos and share them with us!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. I think that may be my favorite, too!
DeleteSuch pretty textures and love the rose hips!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristy! I appreciate you!
ReplyDeleteYou gave me a great idea! I have an old white pitcher on the front porch. I'm washing it and finding something beautiful to go inside it, and bringing it in the house--something fallish. And as always, your photos are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving Blessings to you and yours~
