iPiccy and Cyberspace Impressionists: What Would Monet Say?

The pink and yellow purslane blooms on my balcony

beam brightly in the early morning sky.

Cuddled by fluffy clouds, they stir gently in the soft breeze.

Just minutes before, there wasn't a cloud in sight,

 nor could 'poppy view' be found in mid-flight!

What's going on?!

Thought I'd be 'Artist' for a day,

so, got my e-easel and started to play!

Enhancing the hilltops, 

illuminating the landscapes,

tweaking the textures, 

as if painting on canvas.

Starting with surfaces smooth

and ending with hard.

Pebbly, grainy,

like a mini hooked rug.

Other times, subtle, soft and slight.

Dabbing with brush strokes

to blur or highlight.

Petals of purslane, patiently posed, 

as the camera clicked 

to produce and compose

e-paintings of photos -

visual prose.

Thanks for visiting!

CAMERA CHRONICLES

For those who have been following

my camera chronicles...

Our very dainty and delicate honeysuckle

'ReEnergized' the batteries

Gardenias, wedding white puffs of softness

and cautiously crept toward the garden

Cute as a button, multi-coloured lantana

in the hope of capturing 

Petite and pretty jasmine

a few still images

Charmingly simple Chinese carnations

of some blooming beauties

 Precious tiny petals of the Virgin Mary's Teardrop, (Greek name)

in case my camera, once again, went kaput

which, of course, it did.

Thus compelling me to get creative

Playing around with 'Poster Effect' in iPiccy

in iPiccy,

 and in the process...

refreshingly recharged, batteries of my own!

Thanks for visiting,

Poppy
