10 Week Picture Project Week 4 (January 26-Feb 01): Tree Parts: Green Leaves I'm standing under an ancient Japanese Maple located at Longwood Gardens, Kennett Square, PA. This particular tree had both green and red leaves.

View of the southern Manhattan skyline featuring the freedom Tower.

This was a lucky capture on my part. While the rest of the sky remained blue, one huge gray cloud served as a perfect backdrop to the South Manhattan skyline. This created the perfect contrast to the beautiful the bright blue sky reflected on the skyscraper to the right of the freedom Tower. Without the big gray cloud backdropped against the buildings, That same skyscraper would look invisible (see photo inset below).

Color Wheel Project: Orange I spotted this beautiful flower during my walk through Winterthur Gardens in Northern Delaware.

Photo taken in one of the quaint shops at Peddler's Village, Lahaska, PA. About twice a year I meet with my New Jersey relatives to chat and shop at this beautiful "tourist trap" in the middle of rural Pennsylvania just west of Philadelphia. Peddler's Village is well known for its beautiful boutiques featuring art of all mediums, unique clothing and jewlery. This particular shop sells both antiques and new items. Their old books in particular are beautifully displayed throughout the store and are a treat to look at. See note for the other picture I took of their books. I wish I had taken more photos. This trip I decided to forego the DSLR and try my new iphone camera. I must say that I was quite impressed with the results. Point-and-shoots will go the way of the dinosaur if camera phones continue to improve like this. Post-processing by Photoscape and Picmonkey.

Color Wheel Project: Red Taken earlier this Summer in my garden.

Taking a break during a walk through Winterthur Gardens in North Delaware.

I came upon this koi pond pond during my walk through Winterthur Gardens and Museum in DuPont country in Northern Delaware.

My husband Rich pictured with the Concord Lighthouse in Havre de Grace, MD. Thankfully the opportunity presented itself for me to try this technique. It's my first attempt at forced perspective.

This is the best my garden has ever looked at this time of the year, so I'm gonna celebrate with these gorgeous Dahlias! Have a wonderful week, all!
