"When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music.
Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?"
- Khalil Gibran
It's Monday, of course you know that, but that means another lesson from Kim in
my beyond layers class. Today she gave us a prompt, the word Whisper and sent us forth
to create some whisper 'art'.
But I feel like I'm cheating a bit, because in my frustration (with my knee injury) I bought some tulips so over the weekend I would have something to keep my mind off the fact that I couldn't go to the beach or
for a walk to the butterfly garden. And the minute the sun decided to make an appearance, because
we haven't seen much of that lately, I took them outside . . . .
And . . . . they did whisper to me . . . ever so softly!
I may have even heard some music. My lack of normal mobility has made me realize
that I have an addiction to capturing things with my camera.
And what a strange coincidence that I had already planned to use this image today
and then I checked my e-mail....
But, now the 'whisper' prompt has me thinking about how I can intentionally create it!
I'm off to grab my camera....
Happy (sunny) Monday everyone!!
Love, Kim
XO

Gotta love how the Photography Gods are fans of Karma :). This is a gorgeous, soft as a pillow, light as a whisper, shot Kim! Great job! Re: the crutches....I see a selfie in the works for you :) Hope you are feeling better my friend!
A wonderful photo of your girly-pink tulip, Kim. No need to explain how you got it -- it's perfect.
Hope you knee feels better. :)
What a beautiful capture - I don't think you cheated at all. I definitely see the "whisper" in this image! I hope your knee feels better very soon. :)
Hope you're in less pain today Kim and whisper is just perfect to describe this beautiful photo.
That color is so beautifully dreamy!!
Very beautiful, delicate, soft image! Lovely work! Hope your knee is better soon!

Kim, this is absolutely breathtaking!
Such wonderful color and softness.
I sure hope your knee is all better soon!
I'm a little behind with my 'Beyond Layers' classes, slowly catching up.
A beautiful 'whisper'.
this is...amazing!
WOW Kim!! Such a beautiful shot and texture. So whispery soft :)
I have long admired poeple like you who are game (in my eyes) to experiment with textures and layering. I have said so much on others blogs about this. SO... last night, when I couldn't sleep (that's most nights), I decided to get back on my laptop, download a trial of PS Elements and watch Kim's video on "Textures in 10 mins"... wish me luck as I delve out of my comfort zone and attempt textures for the first time
Oh how beautiful...and what's this about an injury?? I go away for a week and you end up on crutches??!! Sure hope you are doing better and take care.
Such a great shot! There is so much depth to this photo, not to mention how you really get the sense of texture. Great work!
