Busy Autumn


The photos in the gallery of this post are not very special, but they show the colours I like when autumn starts. I shot the photos a half month ago at the time I published this photo, now you don’t see a lot of red, yellow and orange colours anymore, because most of the leaves did already fall and the rain made everything look dirty. I was quite busy over the last weeks and didn’t post a lot, but I still have a big backlog of photos for future posts. Continue reading Busy Autumn

Poisonous But Beautiful Plant


I shot the photo of this post a month ago in one of our local botanical gardens, the plant appeared strange but beautiful. I didn’t note the name so that I had to research today at home, and I do think this plant might be called White Baneberry (Actaea pachypoda). The plant is very poisonous according to several articles I have found, and you shouldn’t eat the berries because only a few of them can already make you seriously ill, and more can cause death. So, don’t eat, just examine the beauty. Anyway, it’s a beautiful plant, isn’t it? Continue reading Poisonous But Beautiful Plant

Trick or Treat Monster


The photo above is my entry to the recent WordPress photo challenge with the motto treat.  Halloween time starts, and as my cat looks like a little hungry furball monster in the photo, and because she got a treat while I shot the photo, I thought it would fit to the challenge motto. Trick or treat? Kitty logic is very different… trick and treat! Continue reading Trick or Treat Monster

Painted Photoshop Kitty


I was bored yesterday in the evening and started to work on a photo with Photoshop and you can see the result above. I found one photo of Shyna that I didn’t like for some reasons, you can find the original below, but I usually try to do something else with photos when I dislike them. I do generally prefer to experiment, I never have a plan. In this case I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, to be honest, I just duplicated the image layer a dozen of times and applied different filters to each, blend them … Continue reading Painted Photoshop Kitty
