Square 1 | Homemade | DIY
The idea behind the prompt was to take a photo with intent - to show a particular perspective, or story. As well as being about being something to do with From Scratch. I guess this photo falls into the prompt really well as it is going back to square 1 as a completely new path, it's homemade and it's definitely DIY!
This is part of the new pathway leading to the patio area. We've done quite a lot of the landscaping renovations ourselves - moving mulch, pebbles, rocks, digging, planting - you name it, I'm sure we've done it! We have also tried to reuse a lot of the rocks and borders that were around the pool area to form the borders of the new paths and garden beds. Once we get the plants in (yes, I made it to the nursery today) it will all start to come together nicely. And there will be a lot less grass which is always my preferred option.
I took this shot with the iPhone and processed it on the iPhone, but it didn't quite turn out the way I wanted. As it is getting late I've decided not to continue fiddling with it. The processing was done using Snapseed and Distressed FX, and then some more in iPhoto. I'm up in the house on the laptop and unfortunately don't have Lightroom on this computer to play with it further. Maybe if I get some time tomorrow ... In the meantime - goodnight.
