Thing-a-day.com

This month is coming to an end and I’m feeling drained of creativity. I normally make something pretty much everyday because of my store Pedras and my blog New Sprout or just because. I’ve been having the urge to take photos of things lately. I don’t know the city I live in very well and don’t really feel comfortable walking around it. Normally I wander everywhere I live and find interesting things to take photos of. Now I just don’t know where to wander.

Here is a picture of the only Godetia that has sprouted from seed for me. Not sure if the seed batch I got was bad but nothing ever happened from the many I planted.

For todays thing-a-day I decided to go take some photos. I have been slacking with my garden blog New Sprout. This was the perfect opportunity to go and take photos of the plants on my balcony (my only garden). For once I tried to just take things at weird angles and make something more artsy. I really loved how the photos of my wanna-be bonsai tree came out. Most are my Peruvian Myrtle and one is my Dwarf Crape Myrtle Sacramento. I’m hoping these will grow once spring hits and that I haven’t killed them during transplant. Both of these two lost all their leave and haven’t shown sign of any new growth. My Jacqueline Hillier Elm didn’t lose it’s leaves and it got some new ones during around November. I played around with photoshop to get some funky colors. I always wanted to do that but on my garden blog I like to keep my photos more true to what I really see.
