claudiatammen > June 1: Flowing Lines - Oak Burl
On my walk yesterday evening I finally photographed this oak burl.  The branches were trimmed and the tree looks pretty forlorn standing by the side of the road. But the pattern inside the burl is beautiful - there are a lot of years recorded here.  It almost looks like a face - a man with a full beard and laughing eyes!
claudiatammen > Thurs. May 28: Modjeska Creek
The creek is pretty low now and we're not even in summer yet.  It is still a nice place to sit on a rock and listen to the water.
claudiatammen > May 27: Stages of life
Perhaps because I've been spending so much time in my own and my neighbor's gardens, I'm enjoying the budding and blooming of Spring, but am also more aware of life's cycles. In our culture I think we put too much emphasis and expectation on the Spring of life, and we are not mindful of the gifts that come at each stage (I certainly wasn't as a teenager!).  I plan to age in loveliness and peace as roses do.

claudiatammen > May 22: End of the cycle
Taking photos in my friend's garden again. Things have changed from just a few weeks ago - some things are done and others beginning to grow. I liked the texture on this faded rose and I thought the "aged photo" preset in LR showed that off the best.
claudiatammen > May 20: Green Man
The idea for this shot started as an assignment for my recent B&W class. We had to emulate a master photographer, whose name was given to us by the instructor. I got Imogen Cunningham, whose work I had never seen before. Wow, did I like it. She did a lot of nature studies, similar to O'Keeffe's paintings, and a series of nudes with trees (comparing the natural forms and human forms).  

This is my brother (you can see I didn't get him to pose nude!) who graciously agreed to pose for me. I was working on the image again today and I decided it also fit the "green man" theme. He seems to be emerging out of the undergrowth.
claudiatammen > May 18:  Luscious Pink
In Lightroom, I adjusted the Clarity slider to create a softer feel instead of sharpening the image.
claudiatammen > May 16: This little flower is a rare wildflower in So. Cal. and it is called a Splendid Mariposa Lily.  I saw several on a recent walk with other photographers in nearby Limestone Canyon. Behind it the yellow flowers (out of focus) are another favorite - Sticky Monkey flowers. Who names these things?
claudiatammen > May 15: Don's Classic Chevy
This was shot a week or so ago in Old Towne Orange.  I have been crazy busy for a week and am finally back to the dailies. I have a lot of catching up to do.
