Short Story #0318 Josh and Julie (photo art short story)

Standard

Once Upon A Time

 

 

“Oh Josh!”
“Oh Julie, Julie, Julie!!!!” as he proceeds with a flourish ….
Ohhhhhhh ohhhhhh JOSH!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

….. and so, he did and she did,

from the yellow fairy clan, had been watching from above.

She cast a ‘forever and ever’ spell on them.

And they lived happily ever after.

A Tease of Nectar (photo art)

Image

In the wind, I’ve pursued what I felt I had to.
No help. Just me. My muse is snoozing.
When that happens, I switch to me! So, I safari’d into my backyard and took about 40 shots between two different cameras and three different lenses and patience.
It came down to what I already knew, suspected, went back to, and got.
The shot of my first sunflower of the year giving me a great ‘show’. Here’s what I, myself, picked as my photo of the day, maybe the week, ….. from my back yard. Hope you enjoy.
I shall call it….. “A Tease of Nectar”
My D7200 and my 85mm macro lens from about 12″. It’s the camera’s focus at f8. I didn’t look at the other numbers. …………. I was too amazed by all of the internal parts going on here!!!!

‘Naome’

Standard

After the ‘Masters’ golf today, I got serious and traced my forest floor traveler on some reclaimed fencing.
She’s my original character.
Surprised by me as she comes out from behind a tree, I’ll back off a bit and let her pass.
I can place her coming from behind a tree, a fence post, or a plant.
We will meet again in a water color soon, maybe from behind that mushroom.
You can’t see the tracing on the wood except when standing with the light just right, so I put up the original to give you the idea.
Of course, once I’m satisfied that I’ve got her face the way I want, to scale flora will begin to appear.
She’s not very tall, maybe 18 inches.
Something I’ve always wanted to do.
Shall I name her Naome?
What do you think?

I just changed it to Naome.

I made this, they wore it out!

Just Because I Like It! (Fence Art)

Standard

I’m going to make a few of these because I want one!

My roofer guy, Octavio, is going to hand me about 30 pieces of
‘tongue ‘n’ groove 7″ wide and 7+ feet long hardwood that his neighbor was going to burn!

Photography for me as a serious amateur is: the moment I discover, I captured a twinkle in time!

Shroom Creatures (Photo art)

Standard

This morning at light, I was allowed to find these Shroom creatures from Pandora/ Avatar. They had landed in Kenzie’s flowers which, if you know the movie, was apropos. They came to make contact with something of Kenzie’s.
So, I caught them before they flew away back to Pandora and the ‘tree of life’ with their discovery! rdd
