Light in Darkness 2, New Years meme

Welcome to the New Year Special and the only meme I will post this week. You can post everything about The New Year Celebration or you can still be posting whatever is usually the subject of the day. You know what it is by now. This meme will stay open until Saturday. Next Monday I will be back to the "Inspiring Photo, Catching light" as usual.

This firework was my "goodbye present" from Honolulu. The fireworks for tomorrow night don´t seem that promising right not. But I hope I will be surprised.

Wish you all a Happy New Years celebration. Enjoy it!

Linking up with Weekend Reflection

And.......PLEASE, check your links. Last week there was two going to the blog URL instead of leading to the post. AND two with double http://http:// You are not getting visits that way! Don´t make it hard for us to find you! It spoils the meme.
Sorry about that but I had to mention it.

NF Winged 115 Merry Christmas butterfly

Torsdagar - Thursdays

NF Winged 115

Welcome to a new Winged Edition. Summer is almost over. So are the winged ones. But there are still a lot of creatures with wings. So, go for a photohunt. Or search your files.

This is a meme, or meeting place, for everything with wings. I´d like to see flying creatures from all over the world. The purpose with memes is to visit other participants and to have fun. This meme is small, surely you have time to visit and comment each others posts. Let me see you around. But as you know I am a busy woman but I always returns a visit.

Today I give you a butterfly that seems to belong in a Chrstmas tree. :)

"Light in darkness" meme

Next week is Christmas week and then it is New Year. There will probably not be that many participants so for each week there will be only ONE MEME themed Light in darkness. You can still post the usual themes but angled towards light and the upcoming feasts. Wishing you a great time with family and friends.

NF Abstract 50 Water edge

NF Abstract on Wednesday

NF Abstract 50
Abstract art: "art that does not attempt to represent external, recognizable reality but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors and textures".

NF Abstract, a meme for abstract photo art and creative work. I started this meme as I hope to challenge myself in my photography and artwork. To me, so far, it is all about photography and manipulation of my shots in a, hopefully, creative way. Now I want to proceed. And I hope some of you want to share that process with me.

The topic can, of course, be interpreted in many ways and you can use whatever means you want as long as the result is Abstract.

Please visit my entry and so many other participants you can. I´d like this to be a living meme not just another linky list. So far it is a small meme, surely you have the time to comment on others. Thank you for participating. As you know I´m a busy woman but I always return a comment. :)

For this image I used an image with soft colors. I downsized it to 700pix wide before I applied the Oil filter effect in ArcSoft Photo studio.

NF Blo-Ma 76 Japansk Lykta - Japanese lantern

Every Tuesday

NF Blo-Ma 76
Welcome to a new edition of NF Blo-Ma. A meme all about Flowers and Macro shots. The name might need an explanation for international players. Blo comes from the Swedish word for flower, blomma and Ma is for macro. English translation would be Flo-Ma but that does not sound so good in Swedish so Blo-Ma it is. Thanks everyone who joined last week.
If flower comes short this time of year dont´ forget you can link up macro shots.
Addition: Why not make some flower and macro art while you are at it? To add a little more fun to the meme.

I´d say this wall had the last colors of fall. I share it to bring light with this lantern in the dark world we presently live in.

This is a shot from our celebration of LUCIA on Dec 13th. It is Katrineholm´s music classes that is performing in the library. The celebration is about the saint Lucia bringing light in a dark world.

NF Abstract 49 The Lady in the cave

NF Abstract on Wednesday

NF Abstract 49

NF Abstract, a meme for abstract photo art and creative work. I start this meme as I hope to challenge myself in my photography and artwork. To me, so far, it is all about photography and manipulation of my shots in a, hopefully, creative way. Lately I have started to also create the images, not just document what I find. Now I want to proceed. And I hope some of you want to share that process with me.

The Lady in the cave

© NF Art 131211

This is an image that didn´t turn out as I expected. The initial image is the flower Echinacea (solhatt) with snow on its dried head. I enhanced the image and changed the proportions of it and cropped it too. Then I used Glowing edges and Filter Glass. And I saw the Lady in the lower right corner and cropped her out. So the image is small. But, can you see her?
