~ Hearts & Flowers – In A Vase On Monday ~

Posted on September 12, 2016 by Lindy Le Coq

Tomorrow is our 47th wedding anniversary, so placing this small pink posy in a heart shaped vase seemed just right.

Hylotelphium Herbstfreude aka Sedum telphium ,’Autumn Joy’, Lobularia maritima – sweet allyssum, Rosa ‘The Mayflower’ aka Austilly ‘The Mayflower’, Ocimum basilicum Lemon Basil ‘Sweet Dani’

For a bit of fun, I played around with saturation to create something of a ‘Victorian’ effect.

~ 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!

Sunsets at Beach Haven are spectacular. This one is reflecting on the water and on the window of the cabin with me in silhouette, seems an apt entry to this weeks photo challenge!
