Bare

11.27 am: I'm still not feeling well and didn't leave the house at all, so I took another shot in our garden.

This rather grim looking plant is our Hydrangea Anomala (klimhortensia in Dutch). We inherited it from the previous owners of our house. It will look completely different in a matter of weeks! If you look closely (larger version) you can see it's already budding.

Goede editing! Dit ziet er waarschijnlijk precies zo uit als jij je voelt. Maar toch heel mooi!

[Anoeska van Rijsbergen]

Beterschap!

[sandra]

Arme jij! Hoe heb je die kleuren zo mooi bleek gekregen?

[Catherine]

Love your processing! Very effective shot

[Trina P Holub]

That came out very nicely. I hope you will remember to show us what your yard looks like when it's in full bloom. :-)

Over een tijdje een bloeiende klimhortensia hier?

[Araminta]

Get well soon, it will be great to get a comparison shot when its blooming

[Ellen]

Zo zie je maar dat je ook in en om huis best leuke foto's kunt maken. Beterschap!

[joey d.Muli]

Get well soon !!

[LisLee]

We can feel bad together, I've had a headache day. Very cool looking plant. Can't wait to see more when it blooms! Hope you get better soon!

Judith another great photo, amazing textures. And you are not feeling well.. What an artist!! Take some care of yourself, dear. Get well soon.

[Alida]

Great pic. Hope you will post a pic after it blooms.

[The Blue Gnu]

Love them textures.

[Juliette Packham]

@geertje @smallenburg Ik heb hier inderdaad ge-edit: eerst het contrast verhoogd en er daarna met Picnik een afgezwakt zwart/wit-filter overheen gelegd.

@haagjes Inderdaad! Onze tuin is maar klein maar hij heeft wel wat interessante hoekjes :)

@anoeska Dank je!

@cath Thanks! I upped the contrast and applied a faded b&w-filter.

@thebluegnu @deniseescovino Thank you, the textures came out better after I upped the local contrast a bit.

@jodimuli Thanks, I am a whole lot better already :)

@gijsje @sparkle @acajuntx @lislee75 @5unflow3r @araminta
Thanks, I will definitely add a shot when it's in bloom - I seem to take one each year anyway so it's an easy promise :)

[Shannon Pitton]

It's nice to see these little bits of your world. I like how this has all the large rocks at the bottom.

[FaerieMoon]

Sorry you're not feeling well :( The contrasting textures in this are really stunning

Every picture tells a story. This one tells the story of spring is on its way. Good job!
