~ Edgy In San Diego – Weekly Photo Challenge: Edge ~

Posted on September 11, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

This week Ben Huberman challenges us to “keep our angles sharp and heart rate fast.” In particular, to focus on sharp angles and edges that provide context for the photograph. Some shots I took a few years ago while visiting my sister in San Diego, pass the test!

~ Mystery Rose and Friends ~ In A Vase on Monday ~

Posted on August 29, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

My roses are giving me their last bit of flower for the season. This one is framed by aster, Sweet William and annual vinca in a squat ceramic vase.

Rosa ‘Chrysler Imperial’

The tag on this hybrid tea rose says it is Chrysler Imperial, although the blossoms are always pink — not deep red as described in the literature — hmmm!

Catharanthus roseus

What a delight it is to grow flowers, see their beauty around me and bring some in to brighten my home. For inspiration visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden and consider adding your posy to the fun!

~ Frame-Up ~ Cee’s Odd Ball + WPC – Frame 2 ~

Posted on August 29, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

Another thing Vic Moore taught me, was to keep an eye out for the absurd: things, items, places, situations — find the fun and the lesson in what is everywhere around us — revel with the odd balls of life!

As I walked through Newport, Washington USA, this building slowed my pace. I wondered what the original purpose had been — what other enterprises had occupied this structure — how did it end up like this?

Thanks to Cee Nunner, those of us with a bit of whimsy (and in this case curiosity) have a place to show our odd ball work!

~ Creekside ~ Weekly Photo Challenge – Frame 1 ~

Posted on August 27, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

I remember when my high school art teacher, Vic Moore showed me that by circling my thumb and finger together I could make a frame to look through — anytime — anywhere. With my thumb resting upon my cheekbone, I still scan and focus to my heart’s delight!

Crescent Creek, Oregon USA sparkles in early morning sunlight.
