127:365 There's No Place Like Home


127:365 There's No Place Like Home
The rhododendron bush at the end of my porch is in full bloom. It is always nice to come home to such a welcoming sight. This week on the Element's Village forum, the Be Creative thread is about the Orton Effect. I have been playing with this old favorite for a couple of days, and I think that it gives the flowers a dreamy look. Theme #324 There's No Place Like Home. Thanks, Julie, for the suggestion that I link to the Be Creative thread in Elements Village.

I would like to come home to that! Beautiful image and to my eye, it is just right for the 'there's no place like home' theme, especially with the lovely picket fence. I love the Orton effect too. If you give a link to the Be Creative thread, those blog visitors who aren't familiar with EV might pop over for a visit... :-)

This picture is perfect for the effect! Love the composition - that white picket fence is delightful against those bright pink blooms!

The flowers are gorgeous, and I really like how the white picket fence sets them off.
