Moonflowers-RedGage

Enchanting | RedGage

This is a moonflower that I grew this year. I was excited about it because (like year-except I forgot) I was afraid they were not going to bloom.  But they wait for September for me anyway.  A moonflower is a very unique beautiful flower that not only smells enchanting, but is magical to see.  It only blooms one time, one night and than its life is over.  So for a short few hours, the world is blessed with their existence and there beauty until sunrise.

The Night has Ended

This photo is a moonflower at the end of its life cycle. The closer they get to dying, the more their scent goes away.

Photography of things in Nature

I have always loved taking pictures of Natures Beauty. It was not until a couple of years ago I started taking photography a little more seriously and wanted to do more with it. I honestly have a deep love for all of the beauty I see in nature while hiking or just walking in the woods. I have been known to just sit for hours taking in all of the energy that I feel when I am outside. I have also been told more than once, when I am in nature, my energy just merges into the scenery. I found that to be a great compliment and it was something I really understood. When I am taking pictures of natural things, I try to focus on the unusual, the unique and/or things people would just walk by or who would just give a fast glance at. Tree stumps is one of my favorite things to photography. So this lens dedicate to some of my photography, in hopes that you will be able to see a little of the magic I see in nature and all of the beauty that it holds. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Walk Through the Botanical Gardens

Beauty of the Garden

Follow me and let's take a walk through the Botanical Gardens. Along the way stop for a few moments and take in the warm fuzzy feelings that the beauty of the garden can give to you. Recently, as most of you already know I have set my goals and focus on becoming a more serious photographer. I believe that each artist has a certain focus and places a lot of attention into that focus. Photography has reached the top of my own personal goal list, I know what I want to focus on and I know what I want to accomplish. But as with every goal, we must learn to take those baby steps and try not to run before we can walk. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Purple Flower Photography

What does the color Purple represent?

Purple has always been one of my favorite colors. Purple represents so many spiritual things and is considered to be the color of the Goddess. It is also the color that represents our crown chakra and it is the Reiki Master Symbol color. Purple is a mixture of red and blue. With red being the warmest color and blue being the coolest color it is believed to be the union of body and soul creating a balance between our physical and our spiritual energies. With Red being a color of focus, dynamic and active energy and blue being the color of calming and cooling energy, it is associated with imagination, inspiration and spirituality. Purple and violet represent the imagination and dreams, while spiritually calming the emotions. These colors enhance psychic ability and spiritual enlightenment, and because of the red being one of the colors in the mixture for purple, it helps keep us grounded.

The Color White

Purity of White

The Color White

ust for fun, you should do a Google Search to see if Black and White is considered colors. A lot of folks say they are not, and a lot of folks say they are. They say black is the positive of all colors and white is the absence of all color. Black is the absence of light, color does not exist without light, white is a balance of color in light. So basically they are shades or tones. A bit confusing I know, but to me personally, I consider them colors. But really this page is not about that, I wanted to write about the purity of white. White has never been a color I have been drawn too. Before doing my photography, when I looked at white flowers all I could see was the dingy brown color they turn. Since I am somewhat tom-boyish for me to wear white clothes is a nightmare. That was proven again over the weekend in North Carolina; I had a hair brain idea to wear white shorts which did not remain white for very long while doing some photography at the botanical gardens.

Inspirational Water Bottles

WhiteOak's Inspirational Prints on Water Bottles

This is another page of my products that are listed on 3dRose and Amazon. I choose the water bottles because of the eco-friendly concept of them. Having and using a reusable bottle serves so many important purposes. The Water Bottle holds 21oz and is 8 inches tall and 2.5 inch in diameter. Reusable water bottles have become very popular and are used for many different purposes including, exercising, gardening, walking, hiking and traveling. These bottle comes with an image on both sides and it is dishwasher safe. The images on these water bottles are prints that I created from a photo I took. I took the photo into another computer program and added a few different effects and soon the effects became my personal signature. Read more at www.squidoo.com

Inspirational Wall Clocks

WhiteOak's Photography Inspirational Prints

Often when I am out doing photography, certain flowers or objects will bring an inspirational word to my mind. After this happened a few different times, I decided to start creating Inspirational Floral Prints. I take one of my photo's (the one that reminded me of an inspirational word) and by using another computer program I add several different effects to it. I found after doing several different pictures that I was using the same effects so decided to make them my signature mark (so to speak). Thanks to Lensmaster sandyspider I was introduced to a place called 3dRose and was able to submit some of my photography and in turn they place the photos on products and list them on Amazon. This is all new to me and I am sure I have a lot to learn. Read more at www.squidoo.com
