One of my favorite things to do when I was little was to pull out my box of 64 Crayola crayons [with the sharpener in the back!] and a coloring book and color. I was a very neat little artist. I always wanted the colors to stand out and so if the coloring book drawings didn’t have really dark lines, I would add my own black lines on top to make my colors “pop”. I also made sure that I always stayed within the lines! I still like the look of a photo framed in black and I enjoy enhancing the black lines in images with software. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas day!

I doubt that I will get to see Longwood Gardens’ tulip display this year, but I still have tulips in my garden to photograph. This one was photographed with the Lensbaby Composer and processed with the Fractalius filter in PhotoShop. The pink and green combination is one of my favorites!

Bleeding hearts are one of my favorite springtime flowers. I love the color, the shape, and the uniqueness of the flowers. Two of my plants are in bloom and I wanted to photograph them today, but it was fairly breezy, which makes it difficult. Those little flowers dangling from the stems are almost always on the move. Finally the wind calmed and I went outside, but it started to rain after just a few minutes. Still, I managed a few shots with the Lensbaby Composer and soft focus optic. This image breaks down the elements of a bleeding heart — the unfolding leaves, the stems, and the heart-shaped flower itself. I processed this image with Fractalius and Photoshop.

I know that by now I am probably boring regular blog visitors to tears with all of the Lensbaby tulip images, but I just love the abstract feel of these shots. The Lensbaby Composer and soft focus optic are a perfect combination for macro flower photography. I enhanced this image with a Fractalius filter in Photoshop. Fun stuff!
