Even though I have a million and one things to do, it was good to take a moment...
to ponder...to observe...to consider...to contemplate...
The drive is just about three hours...and after spending the first hour getting out of the mess of Seattle and all the surrounding suburbs, its a clear shot up and over the mountains and across the wheat fields and apple orchards...turning on the radio, there isn't great reception...just one country & western station...rather than turning it off, I left it on...one of the recent exercises in bestill52 is about changing up your routine...and though it was in reference to photography subjects, I thought this idea had merit in other ways as well...
I love the little things that my sister picks up for me...one perfect feather...a dried flower pod...
old photographs...vintage hair clips...instant inspiration...
Throughout my visit...lots of eye candy photo ops...
just the simplest of compositions...changing up my routine a bit...
Once home, the two little bottles I picked up...with the feather and dried flower bud...
and a few more of those precious old photos...
Joining the group over at kim klassen's Texture Tuesday...
all of my photos were edited with kk texture - tuesday...
Beautiful as always love the last image.
ReplyDeleteLovely all- those old photos are great! Wonderful collection and arrangement of these found objects. I love the bucket of dried flowers too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful...
ReplyDeleteYou've created such fabulous vignettes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love that final image - that quote is perfect for that image.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Lovely images. Glad you got a good visit with your sister. I should have passed you on the mountain pass as I should have gotten over to Seattle to see my Mom. Not going to happen this year now....
ReplyDeleteOh, you did find some wonderful treasures! And how nice that your sister collects some for you, too. I love your creative use of these sweet little props.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely of your sister to find treasures for you ! Love your photos, especially the bucket of dried grasses.
ReplyDeleteI'm missing out on something - where are folks getting the textures they add to their images?
ReplyDeleteLove that quote by Louise May Alcott - a new one to me. I'll add to my collection . So perfect for your photo of the little treasures. Love your pictures always, but truly love the relationship between sisters where one collects for the other.
ReplyDeletehow fun to have a sister who knows you so well - a beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! My favourite is the second one - I love that pop of red.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vignettes and pictures, Amy. Your sister knows what you love.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and how nice to have a sister that is always thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI love the image with the red bucket! How great that your sister collects all those little treasures for you!!
ReplyDeleteAmy, I love all this stuff! And what you do with it all. You are eclectic yet adhesive. Clumsily worded, I know, but I hope you get my drift.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Using the vintage hair clips as photo holders is genius! Love all your creations!
ReplyDeleteYour sister is a jewel, isn't she. I'm glad you got over to visit and that she had some collectibles for you! You've put them in some great photos. I love reading your posts as well as seeing them.
ReplyDeleteWe discover when we change our routine. :-) Glad you got to visit.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, beautifully said and shared in your photos. You are blessed to have such a wonderful relationship with your sister. Blessings and smiles, Emilou :-)
