"Beneath Your Feet"
Sandals. Summer footwear. Great in this hot weather. My favorite flip flops are on the right. My second favorites are on the left.
"Capturing Movement"
I took several shots of movement this week, but this first one I took became my favorite. It shows movement in my neighborhood, different than what I normally see. A fireman flushing out the fire hydrant, and an elderly man pedaling away on the bike. Then there's the movement of the water, the movement of the man's arm as he works on that hydrant.
"Texture"
Homemade oatmeal raisin cookies, made as a bar cookie instead of drop cookies. Either way they are yummy. I use the recipe on the oatmeal box. No, there are none left. The lighting? I set this on a windowsill in my kitchen and used natural light.
"Face Your Fears"
It's all about those gas prices. Listening to the news I heard the word "fears" in the context of a segment on gas prices this holiday weekend. I don't live in fear of gas prices...but they certainly make a great impact on how much we do these days. (A Lightroom preset was used to get the look you see here.)
"Currently"
I just took this one a few minutes ago. Currently I am watering my little vegetable garden that is just outside my backdoor. We have not had decent rainfall in at least two weeks, and I'm hoping that will change in the next couple of days. Meanwhile I bought a 'soaker' hose, pictured here, which slowly and efficiently drips the water onto the ground. I'm looking forward to some green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and kale in a few weeks.






I really like the capturing movement but all your pics are good, as always! x
ReplyDeleteNice set. Love that triptych. Those homemade bars look wonderful. Living alone, I never bake. How come I don't lose weight then?
ReplyDeleteYou know-just sayin', back in March those media alarmists said gas would be at $7.00 by Memorial Day-over and over they make people afraid, and most the time for no reason.
Happy day Deborah. Buy a little extra gas and have fun.
Love that neighborhood shot, it is just crystal clear and I definitely need one of those cookies!!
ReplyDeleteThese are all gorgeous! Those treats looks super good!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with beneath your feet - very creative.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so creative!! Superb.
ReplyDeleteLove the cookies in the natural light and the neighborhood scene!
ReplyDeleteI love your movement shot - my eyes went directly to the man on the bike! Great capture!
ReplyDeleteI love your set! Great shots :)
ReplyDeleteWould love if you would come and participate in Observing Beauty, a weekly photo challenge. This weeks challenge is Water.

Love all of these! Love how the motion shot just happened in front of you!! I love the sun flare on the soaker hose!! Great capture!!
ReplyDeleteYes. Great pictures. Current is wonderful and your neighborhood is great. Texture would not last long at my place. Great shots again. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Your garden looks good and those veggies are going to be worth all the work. I should have had you be my foot model. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat set. I like your Current Shot and the Movement Shot the most oh and the Texture shot, Yum!
ReplyDeleteThese were fun, I really need to try and do this one week. The bar cookies on the windowsill came out great, will remember that for myself. The gas prices effect us a lot, my hubby works about 40mts away from home and a tank of gas doesn't last a week anymore for him. Love the action your in your neighborhood, great photo!!! We need rain for our garden also, hope it comes soon. You will love eating your own fresh veggies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun post, always love reading these.
Oh...what fun! Love your responses and interpretations..and your feet images made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteGreat series. Love the creativeness of your "foot/shoe" collage.
ReplyDeleteI really like that last shot. :)
ReplyDeleteI've always been meaning to try and make cookie bars, but have yet to do so. Seeing your pic is reminding me that I need to cross that off my to-do list soon.
