A good friend of mine has recently gone through a difficult separation and is finally now getting settled in her own home. It is so nice to see her enjoying setting up her house, which I hope to show you a few photos of in the near future. Her living room and dining room windows face west so it takes on a warm honey-coloured glow in the setting sun. Although she lives in a suburban area, just over the fence behind her house is a wheat field, beyond which is the local mall and a row of fast-food restaurants. When you look out her living room window all you notice is the beautiful wheat field and especially when it picks up the golden sunlight at dusk.
I went over to the wheat field late in the day last week to take some photos. Looking at the photos you might think I was out on the prairies, but in fact I was standing at a busy intersection taking photos.
I love how these first two photos look like paintings.

The golden glow of the sun through the wheat was just gorgeous.
And a few vintage-type treatments on some photos:
As threshing separates the wheat from the chaff, so does affliction purify virtue.

ReplyDeleteOh, I love that third one!!!
ReplyDeleteBut the hummingbirds are brilliant also.
Oh my goodness Grace i am totally impressed with these photos!! They are outstanding! I especially love the first one. You must get a least one of these framed!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
These are beautiful, Grace! I am so intrigued by the lighting in the third... so lovely, and the look of the last. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great weekend...
They all look like paintings or frameable art. I love that first one with the two little birds.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and after looking around a bit, I can see we have a lot in common; I love forget-me-nots and my favourite colour is blue. I also had a couch just like the one in your basement; had to sell it when we downsized. Hope you visit me at Beach Bungalow sometime!

Wow - you are a great photographer. I think I need you to give me some lessons. The second shot is my favorite!
