Margaret Elizabeth Sangster 1838-1912
I used this photo for my very first post on this blog. There’s more info over there about the home and the rainbow.
I think of home as largely a state of mind which is why this photo is not “real”. The home is real, the rainbow is real, my wife is real (really real). However, there were some telephone wires and cars in the driveway that I removed from reality. You can see the original photo by placing your cursor over the bottom part of the picture.

ReplyDeleteNo matter how you look at it, reality is what you see.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful home.
Great shot Don, your home is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is sooooo beautiful. And your home is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteaahhhhhhhh. home.
ReplyDeletei like yours with or without the wires.
Home! There is nothing quite like it!! Don you have a beautiful home.
ReplyDeleteMagical sweet home!
ReplyDeleteYour home is lovely, and it was great fun to use the "magic" cursor to make the trappings of the modern world appear and disappear!
ReplyDeletei prefer your not real home, still so real!
ReplyDeletehappy day
Now this is cool! I love it! xo
ReplyDeleteDon, thank you for putting the list of cv peeps. I didn't realize some of our friends were part of our weekly event. xo
ReplyDeleteSometimes reality becomes a dream :)
ReplyDeleteWon - der - ful!
Wow Don, you are really talented. This photo is great on many levels.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you can change it at will by moving your cursor, brilliant.
Nice house and wife and rainbow!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat HOME!
lovely cozy homey home. are both of those gables yours? i need to figure out that wire removal magic - photoshop?
ReplyDeleteMlle Paradis- only one is mine. The other one belongs to my next door neighbor who has a similar style house. Yes,the wire removal was done in photoshop.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteDONnerwetter (= antiquated german word to show how impressed you are, similar to "Gosh!", at the same time an old word for thunderstorm)!!
ReplyDeleteBoth magic...a rainbow-heiligenschein above your holy home and the wondrous disapearance of cars and wires!
Perfect picture: a nice house and a rainbow! What could be better?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and I love that you used this photo for your first blog post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool trick! I so need to take a class in editing. I can't tell you how many times I have seem a beautiful sunset, but haven't taken the photo because I hate the wires of the telphone poles or other distractions that would be in the picture. Have a great week!
ReplyDeletethis is very thought provoking, to me.
ReplyDeletethis includes that little trick that not knowing photoshop & such i found a bit magical ! like you wonder how the magician has popped a rabbit out of the hat...
anyway, quite a symbol to the quote that you also used this photo in the first post of your virtual home (the blog)
and btw you have a beautiful house !
Interesting take. Reality is always very subjective, even without photoshop! :) Still, I wish I could use photoshop like you do, and remove cars and make bushes appear.
ReplyDeleteat first i thought: life without cars:yes, life without electricity:no. but then i clicked on the link to your other photo and i agree, i would erase at least half of those wires. but the rainbows are still beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful - typical American house. As a film from overseas. I love it.
ReplyDeletewhat a beatiful house and so nice that it has been your family home for generations.
ReplyDeleteReal home...no matter wires, cars...just home
ReplyDeleteHome is definately a state of mind. Great trick to allow us to see both pictures.
ReplyDeleteOK for a second I thought my eyes/mind played a trick on me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful home and I love "really real" :)
Love it, especially without the cars. And this is your family home, you say? Very special.
ReplyDeletedon, if i may say so, you are a master! you seem to be really fiddling that photoshop business (or whatever) so well! thank you for letting us in on the secret of that magical in/out the telephone lines, etc... i love playing about with having them magically re-appear and then away... i'm SUCH a child!
ReplyDeleteas ever too: the quote!!!!!
n
You have a beautiful home - with or without the telephone wires! :)
