Day 182/365 Half way home

Well, I've made it half way of 365 days. I've seen improvement and it has been fun. HOWEVER, it is getting more difficult to come up with what to take a picture of, so if you have any ideas, please leave a comment and if appropriate, I'll see what I can do.

I found this little character to be odd, but I loved the background.

Day 181/365 The path

Textures, stones, clay, flowers. So many great things to photograph, I just can't help myself by posting another. I added a texture to the pic, not sure if it works. What do you think.
Here's SOOC and with fabric texture. Which do you like?

Day 180/365 Succulent

If you know me, you know that I kill just about any inside plant I try to keep within my home. I naturally have a black thumb, not a green one. While looking around the greenhouse, I was surprised to see all these succulent plants (Defn: Succulent: A plant adapted to arid conditions and characterized by fleshy water-storing tissues that act as water reservoirs) living and thriving in Michigan. Maybe I'll go back and get one of these cute plants for my home and give it another shot. I forgot to write down what type of plants these are, but they caught my eye.

Day 179/365 In the jungle

As I walked through the greenhouse, this little deer caught my eye and I thought it looked like he was hiding in the jungle.

As I strolled through the greenhouse at "The Weed Lady", my eyes saw numerous textures and lines. These clay plates caught my attention.

Day 176/365 The Weed Lady

To most people, a name like "The Weed Lady" would be confusing. UNLESS, you live in my town. The place consists of a greenhouse and a beautiful gift shop. I took my mom there b/c it contains many things she enjoys. This is the gift shop building. I will be posting other photos from this visit - there are many textures here and a photographer's dream. I'm happy to report that the owner will allow me to bring clients here and I can hardly wait for someone to book a session.
