A couple

of photos

clouds

"Clouds" was taken on Good Friday. I don't know why, but lately I have been looking up at the sky more than normal. Yesterday the sky was angry with very Black clouds but I couldn't capture a good shot without overhead wires, a disadvantage of being in the city

I really like Yellow

yellow

I know this isn't a dandilion, perhaps someone knows what this is called ?

I have been playing with levels and colour balance

      I should have posted the before and after. Just subtle changes in Levels and contrast. The flower one is completely different, wish I knew how to "focus stack"

  2. The pretty yellow flower looks like a mouse ear hawkweed. We have those here, too. And we have orange hawkweed, too. All very pretty.

      wouldn't you know that I would be attracted to yellow weeds. I searched for photos on google and these look a bit different at the tips of the blossoms, but the orange hawkweed looks attractive

  3. I think it is a weed too, but a pretty weed. Lots of weeds are mistaken as flowers and are indiginous to the landscape. They are really beautiful in full force. I like taking photos of the sky too. Everyone is different and beautiful. Nice.

      I really like yellow, but weeds not so much. They don't look like a weed, they look nice. Lately I have been looking at more cloud formations. Your photo gallery is awesome . . . Thank you for dropping by

      Yesterday the clouds were VERY dark in spots, then a bit of brightness shone through. It would have been a great photo but I was in rush hour traffic and there were telephone poles all over the place with no where to pull over

  5. Great pics Bob. I too have been looking up at the clouds lately.

    I am hoping this weekend we'll be looking up at the sun though.

      while most people would strive to obtain the finer things in life, I somehow are attracted to weeds, esp yellow ones
