Illusions


Here are three photos I have taken recently.
I like them but they didn't really fit in any other post...


Trees reflected in a river.

Illusion: It's not really trees :) Just water that is reflecting them! Easy.


This needs a little more explaining. I took a photo looking up through a clump of leaves, but I purposely "unfocused" the photo, so the light looks like little round circles, and the rest is a blur.
 (This trick can be especially beautiful on Christmas lights....I can't wait 'til Christmastime!)
Illusion: Hah! I'll bet you didn't even know what the photo was! *wink*

Whenever we have flowers around the house, I take photos of them. Once, I was taking photos on the railing of our deck, and the flower fell into the stone gutter about a yard down. Now I drop flowers down there just to photograph them because I love the surface. ;D

Illusion: Now, this one isn't completely fair, because I didn't do it with the camera. I did it on the computer. :S The rose was originally yellow, but I was editing the photo a bit, and to my great surprise, the rose turned PINK! Hm. I liked it better than the yellow one.

I know this was kind of a strange post. My apologies.
Hope you have a good day anyway. ;)
