  • Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: Weather

    For this week come back to Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge, I decided to pick some picture that had somewhat expressive clouds, even though the color version of them didn’t look too dramatic. Then, while editing the images to remove the color, and adjusting contrast and brightness, I was amazed by how much more drama Read more

  • Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge – Letter B or W

    Yesterday evening I had to stop by the grocery store for some veggies. Watching them I realized I could find B and W items for this week’s challenge right there. The W’s are combined in the B items, but I must admit they may not be visible enough. Here they are…         Read more

  • Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge – Signs

    Ok, we get the priorities in this one: But what if we add this little guy here to the equation? Then anyone else just runs???   Talking about running, this one was very properly placed along the route of a half-marathon, with a sofa right behind it for the proposed nap… ;o) This post was written Read more

  • Wordfull Tuesday before a Wordless Wednesday

    I have recently (July) discovered the One Four Challenge, promoted by Robin, in which we are supposed to take a picture and edit it 4 different ways, posting an edit per week during the month. I participated on July, then August was what she calls Review Month, and there was no challenge. Then I participated Read more

  • One Four Challenge – November Week 4

    This is the fourth and last week of the One Four Challenge for November. After last week’s post Nic suggested that I’d try GIMP. I installed it and had a quick look, but I have a confession to make. I did all my 4 edits at once at the beginning of the month and had Read more

  • Travel Theme: Camaraderie

    Big sister helping little sister with reading. Currently that does not happen like this anymore, as little sister is much more interested in reading, which made her ‘pass’ big sister on reading skills… This post was written in response to Travel Theme: Camaraderie   Read more

  • One Four Challenge – November Week 3

    This is the third week of the One Four Challenge for November. For this week’s edit, I decided to make it look as if the picture was taken at twilight. I must confess I did not do great here, because the dark shadows may give me away, but at least I got more evening colors (or Read more

  • Travel Theme: Faces

    Tuesday afternoon, I’m home sick with a bad cold. Took the morning to sleep and was planning to blog on the afternoon. But we have stormy weather today and lights are down. The no breakers are beeping like crazy, which does not help. Yet, I committed to post everyday this month, so doing what I Read more

  • Cee’s Black and White Challenge: Patterns

    In the pre-Columbian era, Marajó island, at the mouth of the Amazon River, in Brazil was inhabited by a society named Marajoara. The pre-Columbian society may have ended, but the tradition on how to ornate artifacts still remains on the culture of the region, where natives continue to create artifact from pottery or other materials with Read more

  • CCY Photo Challenge: Horizontal Lines and Horizon

    For this week’s challenge, I chose to have a few pictures of horizon and some that are not of a horizon. Amongst those I have a couple that I guess could be included into the Multiple horizons category. For all the edits I’ve made, I used Fotor app on my PC, using the Straighten tool Read more

  • One Four Challenge – November Week 2

    This is the second week of the One Four Challenge for November. Then, for this week’s edit, I decided to make it look more like fall (or maybe end of a hot summer), with more earthy colors. To accomplish that, I tried several different things on both Fotor on the PC and Photo Editor on my phone. But Read more

  • One Four Challenge – November Week 1

    The picture I show here was originally planned to be used in October, but October ended up being a crazy month so I dropped some of my projects, including this one. 😦 But fear not, there is always the next month, right? And here I am using my picture in November’s edition of the One Read more

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Treat

    Picturing the healthy treats I made for the Halloween party yesterday, but that barely anyone eat (candy went fast, though…) 😛 This post was written in response to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Treat and is also the first one in my attempt to write all month long for the NaBloWriMo Read more

  • Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: Small Subjects

    Here are my little entries this week. I’ve also recently fell in love with the color splash effects, so trying to add a little splash of reds and oranges here, on a PC app (have been doing it in the phone, where it’s hard to get the precision I’d like…) Hope that’s ok for this Read more
