Today’s post is more about artistic interpretation than photographic precision, with K’lee in the driving seat for this week’s edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, leaving us the esoteric prompt of; If you could see into the heart of me.
Well, it was obvious to me that this would have to feature my family; Rhonda and I met in person for the first time almost exactly five years ago and, next week, she and Audrey will make their first trip back to America since they moved over here.
They are both very excited at the prospect of catching up with friends and family, especially meeting their first grandson/nephew for the first time, a visit delayed for over a year by financial constraints and intractable bureaucracy. It will also be the first time we’ve been apart as a family for five years, so they will of course be very much in my thoughts for the three weeks they’re away.
That seems like a lot of firsts for today, but it would hardly be a first to just post photos of my family, so I thought outside the box (well, outside in the garden) and made a little stop frame animated gif to illustrate K’lee’s theme as literally as possible, painstakingly constructing it from just two photos and a heart sticker.
You can see K’lee’s heartfelt and artistic post HERE.
But now it’s time for you to show us yours…
*****
To get involved with the challenge, post a photo to your blog on Monday, (or just, you know, whenever) add a pingback to this post (or to K’lee’s) and don’t forget to tag your post #CosPhoChal.
Alternatively, add a link to your blog in the comments of either mine or K’lee’s post and we’ll come and check out your entry.
Any and all effects, editing, Photoshop, Instagram, morphing, collages or whatever other post production techniques you fancy are permitted, (in fact, they’re actively encouraged!) so get creative and turn your photos into artworks for the Cosmic Photo Challenge.

I finally got the animation to run. It wouldn’t run this morning.

Ah, connection speed, possibly?

I wondered that but I’d have thought the connection would have been faster early morning than midday.

That’s another possibility. There seems to have been a few WordPress glitches recently.

Thank you, Willow, I’m sure they’ll have a great time. That one, of our many anniversaries, (you get a lot of them when you didn’t meet for ages, then arrived in the country, then got married, it’s hard to keep track) is actually in August, but it fit the “first” thread nicely. ;~}

No, those pesky financial constraints prevent mean I’m going to sit this one out. We can’t justify the expense this time, but it’s important they go.
