Back in mid May I got these beautiful pictures after dropping the kids off at school in the morning. It had just finished raining and the sun came out, shining beautifully on the irises that bloom beside my driveway. Then I had some fun playing around with graduated tints and such to make these photos even more dramatic.
Here is one with a sepia tint that has been warmed, had the saturation boosted a bit, as well as having had a few other changes made to it. I love the copper tones in it as well as the old fashioned feel that is enhanced by the white picket fence in the back ground.

Raindrops on Purple Irises #7, darker by Dawna Morton — see it framed
This soft and dreamy photo of a purple iris in the green grass in front of a white house has been given an abstracted impressionistic style. Covered in raindrops this beautiful flower stands out from the muted greens, pink and lavender gray background.
This picture started out with a house and several cars in the background. After removing the cars and making several other changes, I decided I liked the house but wanted it softer. So then I opened it up with paint.net and multiple layers with a variety of layer properties to make the background more soft and abstract as well as using picassa to make some other changes. This turned out beautifully with this picture; however, as I was writing this blog post it became apparent to me that the house in the background was drawing too much attention away from the flower which was supposed to be the main focal point.

The next picture darkens the house with some blue and purple tones as well as simplifying and darkening the foreground surrounding the flower. The results are truly lovely.

Raindrops on Purple Irises #9 by Dawna Morton —see it framed
A soft and dreamy photo of a purple iris bud beginning to blossom surrounded by an abstracted impressionistic background of greens and earthy reds. Covered in raindrops this beautiful flower sparkles in the spring sunlight.
This photo uses the same photo editing process I described above. I love almost metallic glittery sheen on the flower in combination with the abstract almost flame-like patterns of brownish-red and green in the background.

Here is the last installment of apple blossom pictures I took this spring. For some reason these first two seem to have a bit of an oriental flair, but maybe that’s just me. It’s just something about the foremost of the apple blossoms–perhaps the shape in combination with the glowing light.
apple blossoms #4 by Dawna Morton — see it framed
Glowing translucently in the sun, white apple blossoms stretch upwards towards the sky in front of a dark forest background. On either side of the sprig of blossoms, pale green leaves with golden veins, spread transparent in the sun, tilting like the gossamer wings of a bird circling majestically in the warm spring air.

In this dreamy photograph a sprig of pink apple blossoms appears to sit at the edge of a reflective pool of water surrounded by radiantly glowing spring sunlight.
This is by far my favorite out of my apple blossom photos. I love the brilliant light that fills it, the delicate pink of the blossoms, and the overall peacefulness and tranquility of it as a whole.

Here are some more pictures I took back in April of the apple blossoms on our trees. I love the effects I was able to create using some of the tools in picassa. The abstract shapes of the light in the forest in behind this sprig of flowers helped make these truly spectacular. I hope you all enjoy these too:

Last week I created a series of products on zazzle.com using one of my photos I took last winter in which a double arc of light orbs hang in the air over a wintry forest scene, as the morning sun shines brightly down from the crystal blue sky through the moss and snow-covered tree branches to the glistening tangle of fallen branches on the forest floor as Fox Creek meanders unseen through the trees.

Last week I used a close up photo of snow sparkling in the morning sun on a fallen log last winter in the forest of Rainier, Oregon to make some new items for sale on Zazzle.com . A knobby twig is poised near the edge of the photo like a gnarly finger or pen preparing to inscribe a message.
Add your own family photo and wither use the text as is or make your own custom greeting on this wintry holiday photo card.
I like the interesting patterns of light and dark between the brown of the log and the sparkling white of the icy snow crystals as a background for this stationery.
This sticker would be fun to add some custom text to.
