Art is the life of dreams.

Photos/ Photo Manipulation

I have more photos on my sister site, Essenique-Inspirations.com, but I decided to make a page on this site for a few of my favorites.  These include photos with none to minor enhancement.

by those who have been touched by love." mlw

Taken in Emporia, KS.  I came across this crabapple tree as I was walking with Kelly on the disc golf course in Emporia.  I couldn't resist her beautiful pink buds and just had to take a photo.  The pink "reflection" on the left was a surprise and probably due to the sunlight (or...maybe a spirit??), either way, I loved it, hence the name!

Photo taken in CO.   We camped out next to this river and it was so beautiful in the morning sun and blue water!

"River Rocks 1"

Taken in Phillips County, KS.   I thought the colors and composition of the rock and flowers in this photo made a neat combination.

The Protector

This guy gave me the run-around!  I followed him all around my garden hoping he would stop long enough for me to get a good photo.  Finally, he paused on my delphinium bloom, allowing me to capture this beautiful shot!  Whew! 

 

Nature's Disco Ball

I was happily surprised when I got this picture!  The dandelion bloom seemed to reflect all the colors around it and the sun lit it up.  Taken with a Kodak Easyshare camera.

I bought this Gerbera daisy for my mother for Mother's day and thought it had the prettiest colors.  Black background added later.  Taken with a Kodak Easyshare camera.
