I've never been able to fully do the old WordPress blog hash tag, "Wordless Wednesday" because the idea behind it is to simply share photos without explanation (aka, a quick and easy blog post). But since my superpower is overexplaining things is my superpower (it seriously is - just ask my family 😂) I find it difficult not to add at least a little context to my captures. Hence the reason why this Silent Saturday isn't so silent.
And while today's suggestion on my Hive Blog Posting Month daily prompt calendar was again to participate in Caturday, I'm actually looking ahead to tomorrow's Sublime Sunday post, as well as the following Sunday, when I plan to experiment with using my own DDG results as Styles for some photos I've shared over this November.
So instead, I went combing through my archive of unedited photos, narrowed it down to the year 2017 (since that seems to have been my most prolific for photos) and found six that caught my eye. Some of these (like the crow and dragonfly shots) are from a folder that had a bazillion different captures of the same subject, with small differences, and I could never decide which ones were the best (did I mention indecision is one of my other superpowers?). I figured this was a good opportunity to finally get a few of them cropped and tweaked.
And as per my usual FYI - these were taken in the yard of my Durham, NH home with my Nikon, also using my tripod. All were resized, then cleaned up a bit with PicMonkey - mostly the exposure and sharpness, but with a few other tweaks like vignette filters for the corners here and there.
Oh, and speaking of #HiveBloPoMo, it's been forever since I've asked - for those of you participating, how's it going? Hard to believe we're already approaching the final stretch - how is it already only 3 more days until December? 😲
I guess time flies when you're watching Hive hit an ATH! Speaking of, I couldn't resist putting this together for the occasion... 😁
Now for the photos!
