Someone else's turn

In case you're brand new to this blog, Hi. I'm Missy, Hank's daughter. Hank passed away in November, 2008. He was my dad and luckily for us all, he left behind instructions for making his gorgeous kaleidophotos. So I guess it's my turn now.

Here's what I worked on today. This is my very first digital kaleidophoto. Isn't it pretty and green? I just love how the flowery bush looks like it's BURSTING out of the center of the frame. So pretty and spring-y. (Original photo here.)

Then I spent a little time playing with this gorgeous dogwood tree. (At least I hope it's a dogwood tree. A botanist I am not.) I was trying very hard not to make a cross. So I didn't.

I also wanted to see the snowflake using the same slices and oh, crap, there's the cross. Right in the center all tiny. But pretty nonetheless.

I even got brave - really brave - making a 30 degree kaleidophoto from this picture. I meant to make a 60 degree one, but I guess I used a different part of the slice. I like it anyway. My friend told me it looked like a campsite. I always think those green centers look like a nice place to land.
