The Simplest ThingsOur Special Place Landscape My daughter is always saying she's "bored" of taking photos around here. She says it's the "same old stuff". I find it challenging myself at times, but if I look around with my artist vision at the simple things I see everyday and tend to overlook, I often can create something totally unexpected. Which is the case with this picnic table made from old wheels. I see it everyday. Most of the time, I don't even see it - my gaze just skips right over it because I'm so used to the view.
A couple of days ago, I was chasing a bluebird through the area. I lost the bluebird, but was faced with the same table I see all the time. The light, however, was different. The afternoon sunlight was melting through the trees, casting a lovely glow over the same table I've seen everyday for ten years. Because I was thinking in full artistic mode, I recognized this as an excellent display of light and shadow, and I snapped the photo of the area.
In post processing, I added several textures to the photo to enhance the overall warmth a bit. And, the tree doesn't really have a carved heart in it, but I thought it needed one. :) Now, this has become a special place. A place where two lovers can sit and cuddle, or have a picnic, or contemplate their future. A place where two can relax, and simply have a quiet moment together. A place of peace and serenity.
