In The Picture - May Theme

My monthly photographic challenge for In The Picture is 'big world, tiny you'. and as always it makes me think about my camera use.  I'm no star, and my methods are crude, but there's always PhotoShop.

In My Garden
Thank heavens for cameras with a delay.  I set mine up with a 10 sec delay then hurtled down the back garden and tried to look 'composed'.  This is actually the view from my studio, but hey... shouldn't I be looking at my easel/workbench?

I did take several shots including the following. PhotoShopped of course.



'Becoming' the garden
Rather like the thought that the garden and I are 'one'.

For info on this photographic challenge see Urban Muser... and why don't you join up?

    What a beautiful view out your window - I'm envious! Another great job of a self portrait without actually getting too up close and personal! :) very creative response to the prompt....good work.

    What a lovely garden you have! So many big trees. I love the red jacket, that is perfect. Good job looking non-chalant after running to get there in time!

    What beautiful images!! I think we all got a workout running back and forth for this theme!! I have a remote, but it wouldn't let me get far enough away, so I ran!!

    haha I did the same "scramble-and-compose" maneuver. I think you were quite successful! :)

    Super job on these. It is tough to get into place with just 10 seconds. Nice to see you in the picture

    Lovely images, I love the splash of red in the the first one especially. I had the same 10 second issue - it IS really tough to race back and look composed in that time! You've done a great job.

    being ONE with nature makes a lot of sense to me and you portrayed that beautifully with your PS green on Jo

    and what a lush and lovely view you have...your garden looks exotic to me all the way from here in Virginia ;)

    What an incredible view. I am not sure if I would be able to concentrate on art with all that beauty so close!
