Going green

I love finding a splash of color where you don't quite expect it. That's what I love about these two photographs. You see a splash of bright green in an otherwise gray world. Isn't color great?

Ok, perhaps a few more

Today is, I promise, the last day of antique fair pictures. Hope you've enjoyed the past few days (well, almost a whole week) of these photographs. I certainly had fun taking them.




I love the expression on this doll's face. It's priceless. She just seems to be sitting there saying, "I am not amused!"

randomosity

Sorry for posting so late today. It was my day off and a gorgeous day off at that. Gotta love sunny California spring weather. Spent my day enjoying the sunshine, doing a little shopping, going to the library and drinking some wine.

Ok, so these two are random...I just like them. Obviously, they are also from the antique fair. Don't worry, I'll switch it up soon and post something from a different day. Just have so many shots from that day. Who knew that antiques make great photographs?

Light

Have I mentioned that I love the way light plays with photographs? Ok, maybe a few times. These photographs both have some cool light coming through the glass. Another couple shots from the Antique Street Fair.



Not only does this last one have nice lighting, I just love the colors!

Well, I'm off to work. Hope you enjoyed.

Rusted Bits

Just a couple pictures of rusty things at the antique street fair from the other day. Enjoy!

Mish Mash

I went to an Antique Street Fair with my moms today and took a ton of pictures. It was our Mother's Day activity. Yes, I realize that Mother's Day isn't for another week, but I'm working on the 9th and it's their anniversary, so today just worked out better. I somehow managed to get through the whole fair without buying anything, but got some great shots. This is the first set. Gave it the title of "Mish Mash" because that's what it is. These are close-up shots of stuff mish-mashed together.


This first one is of a bunch of crystal-like glasses that were in a bowl. I really liked the way they played with the light. And since they're all clear glass, you can't really even tell where one begins and the other ends.


Next is silverware...and probably since it was an "antique" fair, real silver silverware. I really like the chaos in this photograph. Usually when you think of silverware, it's all lined up and tidy. Not here. There are so many lines here going in so many different directions.


Button, button, who's got the button? C'mon, buttons are fun. You can admit it, I won't tell anyone. How many of us have had a button collection at some point in our lives? I am probably one of the least domestic people you will ever meet. Not sure if I could actually sew on a button correctly if I wanted to (although, why I would want to go around sewing buttons on things is beyond me--I'm that non-domestic), but even I have had a button collection or two in my time.


This is another light-playing extravaganza. Can you guess what these are? Cookie cutters! Love it!

So, I'll probably be posting a bunch of pictures in the next week from the Antique fair, cuz I got a lot of cool ones. I'll try to keep them in groups that make sense. Hope you enjoyed the Mish Mash group.

Lazy Saturday

Took these a couple weeks ago when I had a very lazy Saturday with some friends. It mostly consisted of sitting on the patio (under a parachute we put up to block some of the sun) and drinking Cabo Wabo Margaritas. It was a delightfully relaxing day. It was dubbed Live Oak in training. Just a month and a half to go until the real thing.
