Bougainvilleas––Flower of the day Mar 16, 2016

5 Replies

The wild tumble of bougainvillea actually forms a wall in my friend’s open-walled house.  She lives about as outside as it is possible to live without actually living outside.  Later on this week, I’ll show you her house, studio and art.  I love the wildness of these intermixed vines, the shadows and the colors. Here’s another one for you, Cee.

Bouquet: Flower of the Day, Jan 11, 2016

What if you could wave your hand and pound your fingers on a magical machine to transform one simple flower into an entire bouquet of beautiful and varied flowers? And what if this cost you nothing?  This is what I gained from one lackluster and not even very well-focused photo of a bougainvillea bush in my yard.  By “mining” different locations on the photo and using only the simple tools available as part of my “photos” app that came with my MacBook Air, I created all of these different floral images. None will win any prizes, but this was just a fast playful interlude in an otherwise busy day.  Try it.  Fun, fun.

This actually is a photo of a bougainvillea, not a painting.

Xmas in October (Umbrella Plant and Bougainvillea)

IMG_7203 IMG_7202The combination of the white and green star-shaped blooms on the umbrella plant combined with the red bougainvillea create a Xmas scene even before Halloween–which is echoed by the Xmas decorations already being displayed next to the Halloween costumes in Walmart in Ajijic.  Holiday madness has made it even to Mexico.  Sigh.

Bougainvillea con “Chinche”–Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge 9/21/15

Yolanda tells me she thinks this beautiful insect is a “Chinche” and that it has a strong odor.  I took pictures of it for several minutes and even somehow disengaged the flower it was on so it fell to the ground and it still didn’t present its odor, so I can only guess it enjoyed the attention.  This is one to enlarge.  Just click on it! Oh, Of course the flower is the ubiquitous bougainvillea!  I have them in every color and size all over my property!

More gorgeous flowers!  http://ceenphotography.com/2015/09/21/flower-of-the-day-september-21-2015-dahlias/
