Bob through the looking glass.

 


We have had Gorgeous Cold Weather. Cold for Florida. Waking up to 57 degrees and going to 70.
Woo Hoo. the Sun coming through the glass felt like a nice warm fireplace.
I was standing in the sunshine, taking photos through the glass door.
if you enlarge the photos and look to your left, that is not a fence, its the blinds on the kitchen window to the side of me. I love the HDR mode on the iPhone.
Below I slid my thumb sideways and got a filter and forgot to write it down.
I took the photo again with the filter on and fell in love with this photo. you can see the blinds more with the filter. 


See the roof line over the back of the fence? that is a two-story house. the blank sky should be full of one huge banyan Tree, a victim of Ian
Gone! to be continued tomorrow.

Beautiful pictures! Your yard looks neat but I can imagine how much you miss the tree. Take care!

It hasn't taken you long at all to become an expert with the phone. The blinds really do look like a fence. But what strikes me about these photos is... this is the first time I have ever seen Bob in long pants.

That is an amazing way to add instant fence, perfectly proportioned and everything. A whole big banyan tree? Gone? We bet that made a mess and we hope it missed buildings on the way down. Is Bob still getting stuff out of the pool or is that just regular maintenance? Xxx Mr T and F

I prefer the color image.

the filter makes a super special effect...as if it is a photo from a documentary...

Hello,
I like the color image, the reflection is cool. Sorry about the big tree coming down. Enjoy your day, have a great new week!

B+W version looks like a history book page itself.

That is pretty cool how the blinds are in the picture like that. I do like the black and white version.

What a lot of work to get things done after the storm. It sure looks beautiful around your pool. We're loving the weather too!

OMW, Bob in long pants?!?!
That sure does look like a fancy fence! I'm glad you're having such a good time with the (new-to-you) camera -- and we're the recipients. Woot!

This new phone of yours is a fantastic new "toy" for you.
It takes great photos and now you have more Blog Fodder for us to enjoy.
Love the color one just to get the feel for your backyard but the blinds making a fence is perfectly set..Good artist's eye.

Wow!! The blinds look so cool, especially in the filter edit!
I'm sorry the banyan tree was an Ian casuakty...that's so sad!

It's amazing how much fun we can have with the cell phones these days. The filters certainly do make photo taking more fun. I liked the second photo best.

DeniseinVA said...

Oh my goodness, and these photos are great. I enjoy playing with the phone features. You certainly have great ones here.

That's an interesting shadow of the blinds. I was about to ask what you put up.
