I thought for a change I join in on Mosaic Monday on Mary's Blog, Little Red House. This is my 1st time participating but I love the idea of putting together collages/mosaics of different subjects. For my Mosaic I chosse, Autumn as my theme. I went out last Friday with my Granddaughter, Coleen on a walk and took a bunch of pictures of different things. Here is the mosaic I created:
It's also Macro Monday over on Lisa's blog, Lisa's Chaos. Now all of the above photo's were shot using the Macro feature on my little Canon Power Shot camera but I am going to share another photo not in the collage that I took the same day.
These are the seed pods of what I believe to be a Maple tree of some type but I am not positive. ETA - Thanks to Stewart of Paying Ready Attention I have since learned this tree is a type of Sweet Gum ( Liquid Amber (Liquidambar styraciflua)) - If you do a Google search you can learn more about this tree.
You can see one of the leaves in the mosaic above. Aren't they cool looking!
Be sure to check out both links for other fabulous mosaic and macro shots. You won't be disappointed. Have a great week.
Beautiful Fall collage. Love the maple balls, and the bokeh is fabulous in that photo. Mickie :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and processing, Ida. That last shot is my favorite. I like the little shiny light bokeh. Looked like snow in the thumbnail!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Autumn collage. I just adore the Autumn colours you get to see there and they make such wonderful photo collages. Great post for your first Mosaic Monday post!
ReplyDeleteWow.....breathtaking colors. And one awesome collage too.

Ida, the mosaic is beautiful. Such lovely images of the season. Prayers to your mom - - it is indeed hard to adjust cooking for sodium (everything has it, especially processed foods and most premixed seasoning).
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors that you captured! And I love the little seedpods, whatever they are! I've seen them here in NZ, but don't know exactly what they are.
ReplyDeleteI love that last photo! just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou still have beautiful colors in your area ours is gone and seeing naked trees around now. Thanks for the visit and you got it right with your answer, and I am following you too. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteWhat Am I
A great mosaic! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week,

ReplyDeleteHappy MM
Beautiful collage!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
Hi there - nice collection of pictures.
ReplyDeleteI think that the tree is a Liquid Amber (Liquidambar styraciflua) - a quick search should get you all the info you need.
Cheers - Stewart M - Australia
what a wonderful mosaic! i like also your photo on the top. great shot :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful mosaic, I like your careful colour combinations and positioning.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen pods on a maple tree, but I'm no expert. Regardless, they make for an interesting macro shot!
ReplyDeleteThe collage is beautiful with the different shades of autumn. Love the texture of the seed pods!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of pictures! Beautiful autumn colours.

strange fruit on that tree. Leaves like Maple and teh fruit looks a bit like Kastanj.
ReplyDeleteLove your mosaic, Ida -- and your macro shot is lovely as well. I've seen those pods before, but I can't remember what they are now. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Ida, those pictures are stunning. I wish I could see those colors outside my window, just dirt brown here in the desert. Beautiful photos, excellent work. As far as cooking low sodium, you pretty much can't use anything packaged or canned! They are all loaded in sodium and now all the doctor shows say you should have 1500 mg or less of sodium. Are you kidding, have you looked at a can of soup? I prefer fresh soup but I do use boxed Chicken Broth, OMG don't even look at that. I tried Low Sodium Chicken broth in my normal soups, they all tasted lousy, no one wanted to eat them and wanted to know what was wrong with me. Good luck, it's tough.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful shot of the autumn leaves. thanks for the visit and comment

ReplyDeleteYour mosaic is lovely! I especially like the images of the grass and the red leaves.
ReplyDeleteThe bokeh behind those gum balls ( a lawn mess hard to clean) is awesome!!!
