Vintage Blue with a Touch of Lemon

January 7, 2014 by Barb 21 Comments

I felt I needed a bit of colour this week and because I couldn’t find any flowers I liked, I bought some lovely Meyer lemons. I piled them into my big old glass cookie jar with the blue stripes and blue lid, and added one vintage blue mason jar in the background.

What a bright spot in my otherwise white and grey wintry world. When I went back and looked over my last few posts I was struck by the lack of colour in them. Not a bad thing, just an observation … .

As I mentioned in my 14 in 2014, I’m trying to get a handle on LR. It’s really only the organizing part that I can’t (couldn’t) seem to grasp. But I decided to start over with a brand new catalog and simply go from there. I ‘m pleased to say that something has “clicked” and so far, so good. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

    Beautiful shots Barb, I also have a hard time with the organization in LR. I love the software but keeping the organization straight is just not easy for me especially when I go to making a collection or a smart collection it just hasn’t clicked yet. Hope it clicks like it has for you.

    First of all, I love this photo! Maybe because I love lemons? Anyway, I have the darndest time with organization in LR and they say that that is the best reason to use it. HA!

    I just love these photographs, Barb!
    Although we have some really beautiful sunshine today, the windchill is well below 0, so it’s a little tough to be outside enjoying it for very long. Hopefully tomorrow! :-)

    Have a great day!

    Gorgeous images, as always Barb. Blue is my favorite color and those yummy looking lemons fit so well in your scheme. I always look forward to seeing what you come up with.

    That is a great idea Barb, such a sunny colour and it goes so well with blue. I’m glad you are getting the hang of Lightroom.

    Yellow is such a bright, lovely color and a reminder of Springtime and blue is always a favorite with me. Lovely idea for some color. Happy Tuesday :)
