Feet Firmly on the Path

Taken in November in Cambridgeshire. No textures, just colour adjustments and a little lensblur to the bottom and top. There is something so special about the colours of autumn, with the last remnants of green and the bright yellows, oranges and vibrant reds of the leaves against the stark black of the bark and soil.

All images my own. Edited with Photoshop.

All my images are available on Redbubble, Artflakes, Society6 and Bluecanvas as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, Blackberry, iPhones and other phones (for the skins go to Bluecanvas). You can now also get most of my images on cushion covers (go to Society6 for these).

This is an image I took at the end of a long hot day. The simplicity and light seemed to perfectly complement the poem of the same name that I wrote.

The extract reads:

everything's right here
and it's up to us
to make something worthwhile
to paint our life
in many shades of grey
in all the colours of the rainbow
to live through the ups and downs
to love all we can
until the end of days

 You can read the whole poem here.

Scrabble tiles on a 'found' wall of wood. That's all a story really is, isn't it? A beginning, a middle and an end? What makes a story? What makes a good story?

Here's my poem Fairy Tales Are Lies to go with the image.

Created with my own photographs in Photoshop, no stock used.

This is my part of a collaboration in a dptych for Mission Monday on Rebdbubble

It was quite a challenge, and one I enjoyed immensely. I love Mieke's atmospheric photograph and it was great to have to think of something to go with it and it was fun creating a completely new image to go with the mood and atmosphere in Mieke's image. It was also a big challenge for me to keep it black & white (okay, okay, I did apply a sepia photo filter), which must be a first for me.
