Our kitchen and the red gerberas were enlightened by a bright sun shine in the morning - I enjoyed my first cup of tea beside the window ... Looking the sun rays reflections on the bushes outside and on the flowers inside. It's much aesier to wake up when the sun is shining ... the bright light gives somehow energy and colors the morning with a "golden" lining :)
I took s snap shot of the greberas, and used a brand new Mextures App for the first time - It has amultiple of layers and is designed by Merek Davis, whose texture work I admire greatly.
The weather changes - Sunday afternoon was filled with raindrops after the rain - fresh air humid air - wet, wet, wet every where ...
I took my phone and captured these the little shiny pearls.
The amount of the pixels in the photo is a bit low, so I made a green background to using Word Paint, adding a texture on it, and then pasted the photo from iPhone.
From Monday to Wednesday I had a course in downtown. The Botanic Garden lies just beside the University, so we took a walk there with some of my collegues at the luch breaks. Feeling the warmth of the sun on my cheeks was lovely - the flowers blooming around ... the summer has arrived!
An iPhone app called Glaze transform your pictures to paintings. I chose these traditional, oli painting-alikes for these photos - Glaze has plenty of options, also more abstract and fun ones.
Last Saturday I tasted a delicious salad at my friend's house, she shared the recipe with me and I made it yesterday at home ... A fresh, simple treat of kale, mint and quinoa (the recipe will be soon on the blog :)
Last, but not the least, a friend of ours surprised us by coming with these lovely flowers! Her language of love is certainly coming with these lovely surprises ... I'll bake something nice and sweet to her this weekend. I need read a Whole lot during the weekend, so the baking will be the nice break & motivating factor to get through the pages :)
Enjoy your weekend,
Nina

Beautiful! I really need to get an iPhone someday - I love the way these came out! I love the feel of the sun on my cheeks, also - I'm so happy that summer seems to be here.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Karen - we need to have the sun caressing our more or less pale faces! The iPhone-Photo Apps are really neat to play with - most of them are also available to other smart phones as well.
DeleteEnjoy the bike-ride this weekend :)
Lovely photos...I don't know what I'd do without my iPhone to take pictures with!
ReplyDeleteMe neither - it's always at hand, and all the fun with the apps afterwards!
DeleteMä niin haluaisin iPhonen :)
ReplyDeleteihania kuvia, tunnelmia & hetkiä.
Kiitos, kun linkitit!
Tekstuuri kuvassani on R.H. Westin käsialaa ja sen voi ladata ilmaiseksi hänen Facebook sivullaan ;)
Ajallisesti näppäilen varmaan yhtä paljon kuvia kuin käytän puhelimessa puhumiseen :) Kiitos tuosta tekstuuri vinkistä, Mona, todella kaunis - tykkään kovasti siitä kädikirjoituksesta ja vienosti sävyistä - kurkkaankin heti sinne R.H. Westin Fb- sivuille :)
Deletegee whiz I am in total awe of what you can do with iphones! These photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn, I also wonder how this small device is capable of doing so much?! And congrats on the black coffee process - I'm doing the same with tea :)
DeleteNina, these are fantastic! They look like dreamy paintings.
ReplyDeleteI've been running this way and that this week. Always a treat to have a break to catch up and see your beautiful photos.
We're enjoying a slow & quiet morning of birds singing and everyone home for the time being, each doing their own thing.
The quiet morning sounds with bird song sounds lovely, Amanda! Congratulations on your sweet Lily's birthday - the collage of her shows to vividly how she's grown and is blooming - her eyes filled with joy and contentment!
DeleteThese are amazing photos, Nina -- I've not figured out how to take pictures with my Android yet.

Hello sweet friend -- my favorite today is number one photo - that color caught my eye -- the color is popping out of the photo in a nice way - gorgeous. Can't wait to see what your recipe for the mint is..
