Canada Day Muse

Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver has been featured many times on thechangingpalette. It is a definite muse and constant source of photographic inspiration, from the crisp clear days of Winter, to the glorious hot days of Summer…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Muse

I think it’s fair to say that Italy has been my muse these past few months in the studio, in response to Brie Anne asking us for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, “So what’s your muse — what subject do you turn to frequently, more inspired each time?” However, I do have a new muse in my life now as you know if you visited Studio 365: Day 178. 🙂

ROY G. BIV works here

Since January 1st this year Studio 365 has been productive every day thanks to the hard work of Roy G. Biv. Here is a potpourri of some of his creations from the studio these past six months showing all of his lovely colours working together in each and every one.

Where there’s colour there’s life

Rainbow Fan 21.6.15

After the success of the Mosaic Fans on Day 154 and Day 159 it seemed like a good idea to make one for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge from Michelle: Roy G. Biv.

Out of Season ii

For a month last November I took part in The Daily Post’s Photography 101. For the final weekend Cheri suggested we all “Get Out and Explore.” Well I did just that on a magical early morning in Vancouver, and posted “It just doesn’t get much better”. Today’s photo is from that Off-Season November morning on Kitsilano Beach, about which I wrote:

Yesterday was one of those magical days in Vancouver. There was fresh snow on the ground and the air was crisp and cold with the sun shining from a blue, blue sky. Although I posted a farewell to Photography 101 with its a wrap, I did indeed “get out and explore” as Cheri had suggested, and with Ben’s convergence very much on my mind had an early morning walk along Kits beach as the sun began to rise.

For this week’s Photo Challenge from Krista: Show us what “off-season” means to you.

Mosaic Fan II 8.6.15

With a few more vivid colorful test strips from the past few days in the studio I couldn’t resist creating just one more mosaic fan. Who knows where this will lead to?
