My Calendar 2011 *August* + Ruby Tuesday

1108-DSCN7816-1

Photo from the Open Air Museum, August 2010.

The gate in the foreground may seem a bit oddly placed, but it was
part of an exhibition of (new) garden gates, spread around the park
among the old buildings. If you’d like to see more of that exhibition,
click here to go to the first post in a series from last summer.

And aren’t I lucky… A young couple with a pram
in the picture, too, to fit the Valentine’s theme!

Mosaic Monday: Kaleidoscope Collage ♥ Valentine’s Day

2011 Kaleidoskop-2

Heartily tired of winter, I sat down one day to play with some colourful flower pictures from last summer and the Kaleidoscope in Paint Shop Pro. It’s really surprising how they turn out sometimes. So let’s try a little guessing game, shall we?

A. In the collage above, you have five kaleidoscope pictures, and four original pictures. Can you pair them together and guess for which one the original is missing?

B. Can you guess what kind of flower was the original for the Valentine’s greeting below?

And here’s the original to the middle picture No 5:

My Calendar 2011 *June* + SkyWatch Friday

1106-DSCN6456-2

Photo from mid June, 2010: Start of the summer holidays…
Still a bit cold to go swimming, but what’s the hurry?
A whole long summer still ahead, just waiting to be explored…!

(Gives me a surrealistic feeling to be posting a summer picture today…
Haven’t been out for two days because of a raging snowstorm outside!)

My Calendar 2011 *April* + Friday My Town: Framed

1104-DSCN5427-2

A playground fort in one of the parks in my town (from April 2010).

This week and next, I’m showing the photos I chose for my  wall calendar 2011. I think this one also fits in with the Friday My Town theme of the week - ‘Framed’; referring to framing your pictures not after, but before you take them.

Here are some more ‘framed’ photos:

DSCN0549-1

Shot through the slit in a sculpture in the Town Park.

 

DSCN0763-1

View through the front window of the bus.

 

DSCN1137-1

The same buildings as in the photo above,
seen from the other side of the river,
framed by the trees.
