Violeta’s Guardian

On By ResaIn Alley Gallery76 Comments

In the narrowest of alleys is a testament of love. This shot is captured using the IPhone Pano setting sideways.

Clandestinos had a baby. The baby has a Guardian, a very scary and handsome one at that.

Nonetheless, the alley is almost impossible to shoot in, with my IPhone. So, I show it in dribs and drabs, beginning with the title above.

First up is this stunning violet coloured flower. Then some sweet flower buds.

The violet below is up so high I was only able to shoot this one pic.

This is the most I could capture in 1 shot, even using the Pano setting.

At the top end of the alley is the Guardian with a golden orange flower beneath.

No matter where I stood, this is the tallest I could capture. Yet, there is more on top of the purple mountains. Then I thought, why not use Pano sideways?

That is what resulted in the opening pic. It was difficult, as I had to use an upward arcing movement, which is a foreign sensation of movement.

Many times I began, then my wrist/fingers reacted oddly. This resulted in a split exposure.  (above and below)

Trees for Resa

On By ResaIn Reblogs2 Comments

Timothy at “Off Center & Not Even” has given me a choice of trees. A tree is Nature’s Art! Remember the poem “Trees” by Joyce Kilmer? Anyway, I picked the second tree. It has an illustrious history! I am so honoured!
Thank you, Timothy!

010O7165 Snow through the window

After raining for about an hour this afternoon, the rain suddenly changed to giant snowflakes that were coming down thick in the waning light. I ran out and got photos of the falling snow. In the process I got photos of three cottonwood trees I photograph quite often as conditions change. Resa, who has two blogs I follow, Art Gowns and Graffiti Lux Art & More, thinks Mia is lucky to have her own tree. I told Resa she can have a tree if she would like, so I’m putting up four possible candidates. The first three cottonwoods are on our property, and the fourth is by our cattle ramp. The cattle ramp is on our property but the cottonwood is not, and I don’t photograph that whole tree very often. However, it’s a cool looking cottonwood and is situated so it gets good backlighting…

Muisca Art

I have posted Muisca’s art before. Here are 2 pieces, in 1 post.

It’s always colourful, imaginative and sweet.

This first one is from Feel Good Lane.

Don’t get dizzy! I rotated this one, for fun.

This next garage door is from a bit earlier in the year.

Aging Artfully

On By ResaIn #Women Paint Toronto, Underpass Park61 Comments

Many young people disdain, or are afraid of the old.

I was surprised to find 2, let alone 1 piece by 2 young female artists. The work on the garage is from a #Women Paint TO alley.

The one on the truss is from Underpass Park.

2nd side of the truss.

Star Birds

On By ResaIn Feel Good Lane48 Comments

These colourful birds are stars in Feel Good Lane.

The crazy thing is that the first bird on the left, as you look at this pic, looks like a primate to me.  Granted, there’s a beak coming out of the head, but I figured there was a bird behind it thatI couldn’t see.

When I saw the pics, I figured it out.
