Photo Art and Flower Art Friday

Hi,  Happy Friday!
Today is Photo Art Friday over on Pixel Dust Photo Art where the theme this week is any piece of Photo Art or... a piece of photo art featuring lines, angles and/or graphic elements.

I went with the last one.  I'm not entirely sure I succeeded but I do like the piece that I came up with.




This house is just around the block from where we live.  Every year they plant these bright red geranims down their steps.  I love the colors of Red, Black and White together and combined with the lush green grass it makes for a really striking photo.  There are definite lines/angles in this photo from the fence, steps, slope of the yard and siding on the house so I think I pulled it off.

Now for my Flower Art Friday entry over on LeAnne's blog, Photo's by LeAnne.
I was really excited to learn that my entry from last week (Dogwood Blooms) was among the Top 3 enteries.  What a great honor.

Here is my entry for this week:



These are Dianthus or Pinks.  The texture is Kim Klasses, Charmed.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

  15. The red geraniums work perfectly in this spot. It must be a delight to watch them bloom and grow each year....without having to lift a finger yourself either.
