Good Friday Morning!

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on Good Friday Morning!
I’m looking back at 2015 work at the moment. LOTS of junk there. But some I rather like. This succulent is an interesting one. The colors differ vastly, depending upon the light I had when shooting. Some look tremendously blue, while others have more yellow in them. I’m never sure how I should process them: stick to the “camera color”? Adjust so they all look the same? Dunno!
 
For now this is what I’ll do with this one. Subject to change, of course. But this is “camera color”. The very next shots are SO very blue. I might post one later ….

Succulents

… and yes, there is still beauty.
 
Every time I see succulents I think of our wonderful daughter Kelsey. She taught me to see them with different eyes, as I used to dislike them — probably only because I thought my mother didn’t care for them! The crazy thing is that I don’t even know that is how she felt for sure. I could very well have only made that assumption. Funny how that parental thing can go sometimes. But visiting Kelsey one year we saw them in San Diego and she pointed out how amazing they were (and are). Of course she was (and is) right! And I was hooked.
 
This particular shot is actually from last Thanksgiving weekend, and I made it with Kelsey standing right next to me. I look forward to seeing her and Mel very soon. We all need lots of very good hugs. We will get them.

I love them. They are so amazingly beautiful. They are so varied. And they behave much better for the camera when it’s windy!

You probably can’t tell from this image, but these little things are extremely tiny. Trust me. I was down in the dirt shooting them when someone walked by.

Yep, by now I’m probably known as the crazy camera lady. I’m sure of it!

This week is full of the sound of music (so sorry … I had to go there!): I am playing a week-long run of The Sound of Music and I continue to teach my private students as well. Today is normally my weekend, but due to canceling students for tomorrow’s full day of rehearsals for the shows I am teaching a few today. It’s possible walks won’t be as long or plentiful. But today I am now heading out with the camera to see what I might find. It’s a bit overcast at the moment: good for some macro work, I hope!

This is from one of last week’s walks. It looked like a bit of a succulent forest to me.
