A Faerie house, hydragea blue, and B&W church

Posted on July 15, 2014

My first digital camera was a Canon Powershot SD8800. The crisp, clarity of each photo captured with this small point n’ shoot amazes me, not to mention the vivid colors the processor produces. I haven’t used it since getting my big girl camera, but while going through my archives I thought these were too interesting to pass up.

Somewhere along the Blue Ridge Parkway, this upturned mushroom caught my fancy. I imagined a faerie living beneath its canopy but didn’t see evidence to support my suspicions. Maybe, she is shy and ran away to hide. What do you think?

 

 

My mother-in-law (may she RIP) had the most beautiful hydrangea plants. I snapped this in July 2011 using the macro setting on the camera. I loved how the elements played together in this one shot ~ lovely flower, an insect, & rain drops made this image special.
Old churches are fascinating is in Rutledge, Tennessee on Main Street. I do not remember if there was a historical marker or not. Regardless of its history, the old stained windows and steeple won me over. The sky was a stunningly rich blue with gorgeous fluffy clouds when I snapped this photo. To bring out the cemetery’s eerie, mysterious feel, I converted it to B&W.

Sending a round of applauds and cheers to this week’s featured photographer…

  1. Hi, and thank you for sharing at Wordless Wednesday (on Tuesday) at In Him We Live and Move and Have Our Being. I wanted to let you know that I’m transitioning to a new site – http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com – which will have a photography focus. Currently there are two pages. One is where I will host Wordless Wednesday (on Tuesday) each week at midnight on Tuesday, Eastern Standard Time. The second is a place for you to link up your main blog url if you host a weekly Wordless linkup. Eventually I hope to include some photography how-to’s and resources. If you have any suggestions of content you’d be interested in, please email me at image.in.ing at gmail dot com.

    Thanks, and I hope to see you there!

  3. Mushrooms are magical, and no, I’m not talking about the kind that take people tripping away on a journey to the center of their mind. I mean that whenever I see a circle of mushrooms, a little of my cynicism gets pushed aside and I find myself believing in fairies again.
    There were a few times many years ago when I indulged in that other kind of mushroom. It might explain a few things! 😉
    Thanks for visiting KHEL 666.

  10. Interesting photos lovely colour too, I love that house very Amityvilleish LOL

    Have a bloomintastic week & thanks for hoola-hooping by 😉

  14. Hydrangeas are so beautiful. While in Germany I snapped a few, which I will post… someday – LOL
    Love that little shroom in the moss, too.

  17. That is just what I would imagine a little fairy house to look like!! So cool. My girls won’t let me trample the ones that grow in our yard – just in case! LOL
    Love the hydrangea’s! gorgeous gorgeous. Cannot wait for my own to bloom — but they are not half as beautiful as this one.
    Wonder shots today!
