I take pics like this all the time. My poor dogs, Maya and Skeeter are out for a fun walk with me and have to endure my photo stops. 😂
🌿
What stopped our walk the day I grabbed this photo was all the lines!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) The building behind with the silver stripes created from the highlights & shawdows.
2) The petals of the flowers reaching straight down.
3) The arching stems perfectly swooping across the hard horizontal line where the building metal meets the concrete.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yep! I think about all that stuff in nanoseconds. 😂 My poor brain. Lol
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What also added to the photo was the setting evening sun. It was backlighting the flower petals and providing the beautiful highlights in the building.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I did to the photo:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shot on my iPhone. I just pulled up the shadows to bring up light in the dark areas, pulled the highlights down a little so it wasn’t too blown out and bumped up the saturation a little to make sure you could see the delicate pinks of the flower petals. Oh and the tiny orange flowers made me smile! #allthelines

Do you know the difference between Dirty Pain and

Do you know the difference between Dirty Pain and Clean Pain? They both hurt, but one doesn’t have to. In fact, spoiler alert, one of these doesn’t even need to exist!
🌿
First, let's talk about what they have in common.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dirty Pain and Clean Pain are both Emotional Pain. They both hurt. They both feel like they will last forever. They both disrupt your life. Now, let's talk about how they are different.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Clean Pain comes from an event, a happening, just living life. For example, you break your foot, your partner leaves you for someone else, the world experiences a pandemic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Clean Pain in all of the examples above HURTS. Physically and emotionally. It often feels tangible. It’s stuff you actually experience. The experience of loss.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dirty Pain is the emotional turmoil you create in your mind with the stories you concoct and tell yourself about the Clean Pain experience. “I was so stupid to not see this coming.” “I will never find anyone to love me.” “I will never get over this.” “My whole life is derailed because of this setback.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Left to grow unchecked, Dirty Pain allows us to completely ignore the present. We wallow in what happened and project it into what is to come. And this future we create is a world of make believe.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what is the answer to feeling Clean Pain without feeling Dirty Pain? The answer is in the present or rather, not allowing yourself to jump from your past painful experience, straight to your created future. The Clean Pain from a lost job, lost relationship or loved one will fade if you allow yourself to actually feel it. And by “feel it” I mean, cry, scream, eat a tub of ice cream, stay home and binge tv, grab a blanket and live on the couch . . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

P.S. Don't forget. Clean Pain is unavoidable. Dirty Pain is a choice.

This!! Look at these incredible purple flowers. (Forgive me but I am terrible at knowing flower, plant, tree, etc. names 😂)
🌿
I took this picture with my phone a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't resist! I love photography in all forms. And I can spend hours playing with the photos. I don't always do this but most of the time I do. (Swipe to see the original unedited image.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On this one I did two quick edits. First, I used #afterlight to add the beautiful warm sunlight streaming on the left side of the photo. It instantly gave the whole photo a warm glow. Then I used #lightroom to do a gradient adjustment pulling up from the bottom right corner of the photo to increase the saturation of the colors and the clarity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I plan on sharing more of my photography. I shoot with a "real" camera (Canon 6D) and lots of fun prime/zoom lenses but I also love taking photos on my phone. 🌿
