Food Images for H.S.A.

The image on the left was taken at the March Meeting of H.S.A.  It is Greek Pinwheels and the platter was decorated with violas from my garden.  They are edible. The image on the right was at the March culinary luncheon.  I forget what spices we were featuring. Both of these  images were taken with indoor lighting and did not use a flash.

Sarah Duke Garden July 14, 2019

Image
 Sunday I went to Sarah Duke Garden in Durham, NC.  Went early as it was going to be 90+ degrees in the afternoon.  The image on the right is Aechmea tessmannii which is a member of the bromeliad family.  I used my Plant Snap app to identify the name as no marker.

Fringe Tree (Shrub) and Altered Art

Image
Image on left is a Fringe Tree/Shrub (Chionanthus virgini.cus).   It blooms in the spring.  I love the texture of this plant. I did  adjust highlights & shadows. For the image on the right I used the invert filter in PSE 15 to make this abstract design. Because the original colors were green and white, this changed to purple and black.  Looks like something a painter might have painted but only took a few minutes with a press of the mouse to change.  Will use this for camera club presentation in May: "Inspired by Trees & Shrubs" as well post to Facebook or Instagram.
