new ways of seeing

Hi again. It is a beautiful sunny day here, a little on the cool side, but that's good for walking.
Here are a few of my favourite photographs I've taken over the last week...

 

I enjoyed the cooing and ruffling of this pigeon as he tries to win the attention of this sleek female.

She's watching alright.

There's certainly a lot of strutting and a little confusion as to what he really wants,
 what comes next...

But isn't he a handsome boy. 

 

Playing again with saturation, I bumped up the colour on this

Beauty in the Rubble

The powerful beauty of nature

 Because of this online class I'm taking (see previous posts), I find it exhilarating to learn new methods and ways of using materials. I'm surprised how I enjoy working in the style of another artist and the wealth of knowledge it brings me. It's been good to expose myself to new ways of seeing.
