Snowfall – Diptych

posted by Babs on Wednesday, 18 February 2009

I just learned what Diptych means after reading a post by The Pioneer Woman who said that a diptych refers to two images (paintings, tablets) that sit side-by-side and go together very nicely.

She suggested that we might like to post our own diptych, so here’s mine.  These were taken when we got our lovely snowfall..

I thought this would make a good photo for this meme.  It’s another that I took while experimenting with my new lens. Actually, I think I’ll be experimenting for a while yet!

I’m sorry I haven’t posted much lately, but I’m having difficulty keeping this blog updated as much as I’d like to.

Here are a few photos I took recently, with my new Canon 50mm 1.8 lens.  Hope you like them.

Mellow Yellow Mondays – belicia beacon

I took this photo through the car window.  Just as we were passing it, I thought “Mellow Yellow Monday” and quickly snapped!

Just in case you don’t know what it is, it’s a ‘Belicia Beacon’ and they are placed at a ‘Zebra Crossing’.  And in case you don’t know what a ‘Zebra Crossing’ is, it’s not where zebras cross the road, it’s where we cross the road.  It’s called a zebra crossing because the crossing is a black and white striped area!  Now I expect you are going to tell me you knew all that anyway :O)

Mellow Yellow Monday – Fruit

This is our bowl of fruit.  It’s not real fruit, it’s imitation.  We thought it was very realistic, which is why we bought it.  In fact we had friends around once and their little girl attempted to take a large bite of one of the apples, leaving her teeth marks as a permanent reminder to always watch young kids with it in the future.
