"In the decay lies beauty."
Meanwhile, over at Photo Art Friday, Bonnie has invited us
to be aware of abstractions in nature this week
and the beauty they provide...
to be aware of abstractions in nature this week
and the beauty they provide...
...and I was delighted to find a 'mysterious' little treasure on my deck railing
that worked for both prompts!
The mystery is not in the 'what'
but in the 'how'
The 'what' is a seed pod from one of my poppies,
which grow in front of my house and at the side near the front...
The mystery is how it got from one of those two places
to the railing of my back deck
in such perfect condition!!
These first two shots are SOOC
Then I started applying some of Bonnie's textures that I have been wanting to use...
pdpa Age It
pdpa Other World
and finally pdpa Ancient Treasures
Which is your favourite?
Though I am not sure HOW it got there without damage...
I know I am happy to have had such a treasure placed before me!

Love this seed pod and series of photos!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. I love seeing seed pods like this and you so rarely do. Your processing is great. I think my favorite is the one with the Otherworld texture.
ReplyDeletethe otherworld texture also is my favorite! great series!
ReplyDeleteThe intricacy of the pod is amazing. I like the application you have made of the Other World texture - the blue background really sets off the beige/brown pod. Thank you for sharing your photo art with PAF, Janet.
ReplyDeleteExquisite, Janet. I love the mystery and the magical feel of each one and I LOVE how the textures made such HUGE yet subtle shifts in focus. BEautimous!!!
ReplyDeleteSo interesting and lovely!
ReplyDeleteA treasure indeed! Thank you for linking up this week :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Like a tiny birdcage.
ReplyDeleteI'll never toss another poppy pod again!
