Through a window... by maggiemae

Through a window...

I’m all tuckered out from trying for photos and also back pain! I do think pain in any region of the body is exhausting and we should hope for support! I did get some - he did the vacuuming today!
Looking at the manual for my camera and I find out how to delete a movie.

This is a hanging basket of pansies outside the window from my computer nook! I put my camera into the ‘watercolour’ mode.

On a side issue, John gave a pea (just one) to the cat but she refused to move from her carpet spot for that. We had chips with battered fish that we cooked and she was given a chip! A cat can give messages!


Three good things;
1. I met an ex neighbour who has been in a wheelchair since very early polio and has a husband who is bed bound with an awful brain condition. She smiled through her tears at me stopping for a conversation!
2. World rugby is getting a bit too much so reading a book is much better to relax with.
3. I think I’m going to do ordinary photographs now but the best I know - until I read more of the manual

Watercolour mode very interesting. This looks amazing. I like how you included the window frame. Praying for healing and comfort for your back.

#1good thing makes one stop grumbling about our own bits of pain! I agree about the pain job, I have been bothered with hip pain for a week or two now. I don't get much during the day but as soon as my head hits the pillow it's like toothache knawing away.......takes some shifting too! Back pain is so tiring ......I haven't done any commenting tonight as I am shattered tonight. Hope your back improves ......I think we need to slow down maggiemae!
I like your water colour effect, gives a very smooth finish!
Your cat has you in line!!

The pansies provide a nice pop of color and your edit makes for a wonderful piece of art!.

Sorry about the back! I know how important it is to daily function and how long it takes to heal!

Fabulous bright colours. I like the effect. If we didn't watch sport then we probably wouldn't have a telly! Books are much more interesting anyway. I hope that you are feeling better and pain free soon.

@happypat Thanks Pat - taking pills doesn't seem to help but I have to be patient! I do have osteoporosis so hope its not anything serious. I'm madly doing the right back exercises. There are specific exercises for hip pain too! Shattered and Knackered - we both are!

@grammyn Yes the back is literally and figuratively the backbone of our life, Katy!

Take it easy photography wise. No need to do one's self in over it. Do what is best for you. Take learning that camera one step at a time. This is a nice view out the window. Like the arty mode.

@janiskay At first when my camera was new I just scraped over the necessities, Janice. Now, a year later I am curious to see what else it can do - heaps!

@taffy I've read that it might take 6 weeks, Taffy - I'm only 10 days down the line! That basket of flowers cheers me up every day!
September 26th, 2015  
@maggiemae Oh gosh! Hoping the time passes quickly!!
September 26th, 2015  
Actually I do quite like this camera effect, also your pov and framing. I do hope your back pain gets better. You are right, any kind of chronic pain is exhausting.
September 26th, 2015  
Such a pristine picture! Love the colors.

Lovely processing. Is this a new camera you are experimenting with? Hope your back feels better soon.

@skstein No, it isn't Sandy - had it for a year and its not a DSIL but has heaps of settings and ideas!
September 26th, 2015  
Cool shot. Hope your back pain eases soon. Perhaps some heat?
September 26th, 2015  
@beachdog Thats a good idea, Barb - I'll get a hottie organised straight away - as long as I don't get a hot flush it will be all good!
