When starting the still life lounge, #stilllifelounge,  Jen (@ikebana_jen) and I (@annacox) took into account the beauty of the mundane. The objects you see everyday but pass over for cityscapes or similar grandiose shots. The lounge is a place where we slow down and take in the details.

Here is this weeks highlight:

This wall caught my eye early one morning. I liked how the early morning sun was just catching the leaves making them glow against the brick  It was on the side of a parking garage in the old town part of Wichita, Kansas and I thought how perfect for the #stilllifelounge and even better, it was a P, my initial.

I ran it through Snapseed for cropping and color correction and blended it with a version from Glaze to intensify the color and finished it off with a frame from Phototoaster.

    This was a fun one for me. I had seen this graphic on the side of the building on previous visits but not really seen it, now it is etched forever in my mind. The feel of the day, the welcome morning coolness I knew would turn to uncomfortable heat later, the crisp morning light, the slight breeze making the leaves dance are all wrapped up in this image. I like how the photos have become my visual diary, a record of an instant in time I will not forget. Anchoring me to a physical place or to an internal mood, life slows, letting me appreciate where I am in the moment.
