“Life Imitates Art” is the Weekly Photo Challenge theme at WordPress. I can tell we’ve used up the obvious a/o easy themes! But with a little help from my editing friends, I’ve become Impressionist for a Day, offering this tribute to Monet and his beautiful lilies.
Another first Monday, so our photos today are from nature. Nature’s one of my favorite subjects, making it difficult to decide what photos to use. I went back a few summers to a day when I was meandering around the small lake near our house. It’s a wonderful place to get a bit of nature in the city but if I walk for exercise, I don’t take my iPad or camera because I stop too often. When I go for pictures, I know it will take some time to work my way around the lake.
I spotted the bird (probably a crane) and s/he was nice enough to stay put while I took some photos. The second photo is one of my favorites, my “Monet’s Lilies” picture. They’re both unedited and taken with my iPad. I like the not-quite-sharp, slight muted quality of both the shots, although it wasn’t something I did intentionally.
A happy Monday to you!
This, that and the other thing
