Hello you! Welcome to Photo Feature Friday No. 4. I'm so glad you stopped by. Did you visit last week? There were lots of beautiful photos so be seen. I have high hopes that today will be just as wonderful!
I suggested a vintage theme for this week. If you shot something other than vintage feel free to link that up too. My suggestions are just that...suggestions. Well, let's get rolling, shall we? Here's what I came up with...
Of course, I always have to have flowers...daisies today...I'm taking a break from tulips. I wish I could find something a little more out of the ordinary. All I ever see anywhere is tulips, roses and daisies. Anyway, I decided to pair the flowers with a few old books for some nice texture, and then add of couple of little marmalade jars to the mix.
As you can see, I have a thing for close-ups.
There's that old pie safe that I showed you in my last post. That came in handy. It seems to make a nice backdrop. Don't you think?
I didn't do much processing of my images today. Mostly I just lightened and brightened and then threw on a texture to accentuate that vintage feel. I was feeling tired.
Well, are you ready for a photo show and tell?
I can't wait to see your beautiful photography!

I just love daisies. I have been looking for some to add to the garden. Haven't found any yet. So glad you left the pie safe as is. It does make a great back drop. They came out so pretty!
ReplyDeleteNot sure that my pictures are really worthy, but I added my link anyhow =) I really need a lot more practice with this new camera!
ReplyDeleteThose are superior daisies, with that clear green at the centre~

I definitely have a thing for close-ups too... and seeing such fabulous close-ups as yours is inspirational and helps me perfect the Art of the Close-up in my own Photography. I just love the Vintage Crocks your Spring Bouquets are in.

I love the collection of old pots that you have. But where's your Oxford one, eh?!!!! I always keep my eye out for one around here and I have actually seen a couple but they were really grotty so I passed on them. One of these days......

I'm sooo glad you do have a thing for close-ups, Tricia. I'm finding the older I get, the "closer upper" I need things. lol Love all the serene whites in the images!
