Blogging = creativity + sharing = joy

Below are one of my favorite quotes and a photo I was lucky to shoot in Hollywood (Florida). I hope that you’ll like them.

What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Shooting sunrise

After shooting spectacular sunrises myself (example below) I later

photographed a group of people who was doing the same.

Why do you think I chose this group?

What other title can you suggest to the photo?

Tilted?!

For many decades I look at people, things and events from different angles.

It allows me to feel and to understand more, to love more and to enjoy life fully.

Below is a photo that I shot several days ago.

Hope that you’ll like it.

Are you cold?

Are you cold? Are you alone? Is it snowing wherever you are?

Let’s share this wonderful sunrise.

Then we’ll have a hearty breakfast with some laughs.

Can you drink some wine in the morning?

Oh, it’s a pity! What about cognac?

Are you sure?

Ok, ok!

Let’s go to the beach and pick up our spots in the shadows of palms.

Do you prefer a place closer to water?

We can have it too.

Did you remember to take sunscreen? Use it now. We must be careful!

Please tell me when you are ready to swim. The water is perfect!

I hope you feel warmth. I hope you are not alone any more.

Don’t you ever forget!

We love you!

Produced in my sleep

I loaded my original photo of sunrise in a photo editing program.

#1      SUNRISE

#1               SUNRISE

Then I used several filters and got quite a different picture (see #2).

#2        AFTER EDITING

#2                       AFTER EDITING

Strange! Different colors. What if?

I did something else and got another picture (#3).

#3                      ANOTHER WAY OF EDITING

Then I fell asleep again.

Oh, which one of these unique pictures is your favorite?

 

Happy New Year!

Dreamy, yellow, warmth

Sometimes pictures are crying to send them to several photo challenges.

DREAMY

YELLOW

WARMTH

In such cases I can’t resist.

Let your lives will be full of warmth and love and your dreams will become realities!
