A break in traffic . . .

On our way home from the Bay Area last week we made a pit stop in central California. There's always something around to photograph! I found complementary colors on a galvanized metal wall and artificial flowers in a (real) window box. My standard "walk around and keep a low profile" 18-55mm lens was used for both. ©Carol Leigh

Purple Twilight

This photo wasn't taken today, but was processed today. I'm behind in backing up my photos and came across this picture taken in Santa Fe in September. At the time I shot it, I liked how the pampas grass looked against the adobe wall. The grasses are lighted by car headlights as well as a spotlight coming down from above. I darkened the scene somewhat and enhanced the natural purple color. Yellow + purple = complementary colors. Works for me! ©Carol Leigh
