Throwing LIght

I find that I am more tired these days and I am blaming it on the heat. I also seem to have an appetite at any time of the day.  I have not yet figured out what to blame that on, but I do know as you age Doctors would rather you have an appetite than be off your food.  Well, this has nothing to do with the post below, except that I find it harder to leave the house when I have free time and I can nap or eat!

Below are some fun photos of flowers.  I have gotten tired of taking traditional photos.  I also am trying to get my body to move outside at better times of the day and bring along my camera knowing that my best photos are often the unexpected.  I do not have the patience of a good photographer.  I will adjust or move two or three times and then just snap.  I must admit I really should replace my tripod which broke a few years ago!

The first are just flower shots one of which I photoshopped to look like a painting.  The last two happened because I got up and caught the light.

  2. I agree with, Sandra. Your photography skills are good as they are. You have talent.
    Beautiful photos
    As for appetite increase, I've read that can be due to a lack of protein, as in body craves food so we keep eating thinking that's okay. I have notice a slower appetite since I added protein over carbs, and, reduced sugar.

  5. It's not pleasant when you find it difficult to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. You've got some great photos today.

  6. I love your iris "painting". It's a boon to our mobility that we can always find something of beauty in our gardens.

  7. On a rare day when I get confined to the house I seem to eat more. I don't know if it's because the fridge is too close, but inactivity seems to stimulate my appeite.

  8. My daughter has planted many flowers around here for me and I have no idea how to care for them. Is it better to water in the morning or in the evening? It is very very hot here.

    1. Better to water in the morning as it is cooler and the water can work. Avoid putting water on the leaves to prevent burning.
