Hipstamatic peace

I am enjoying watching the weather-gram peace flags fly and fall, and gradually be hidden in part by the budding of leaves.

Today I thought  I would photograph them with the Hipstamatic app on my phone and really enjoyed the results. They are so vivid.

  4. As your leaves are budding, ours are turning colors and falling. Will you continue to hang peace flags in the trees?

    1. Hi J - the reverse seasons is fascinating isn't it? Even tho we know for sure the season are alternating on the other side of the world, this blog sharing business brings it into sharp relief! I have re-hung some flags that fell the first storm we had; but since then have been letting them just head off as they need; not controlling, not replacing. I will be interested to see what remains; and when the last leaf falls. Go well.

    1. Thanks Ersi - the gradual appearance of spring is adding a whole new dimension to the tree; I think the leaves may shelter the flags from the wind a bit more. It is a lovely journey to document.

  6. Trees are such a perfect choice of 'structure' for your peace flags, especially as they are entering their own season of rebirth/growth. And what a vibrant & happy way to record the transformation!

    1. Thanks Lisa - maybe we get Florentine flags next year? :) I enjoy the tree and watching the flags changing - gently transforming - and yes the hipstamatic adds a certain something to the photos of them!

  7. I have no idea what this 'app' is Fiona. My phone is so ancient it just about makes calls so forget using it for photography too. Love the saturated greens though. They look so fresh and tropical.

    1. Hi Leslie - I think this app is supposed to re-create those 70s shots we all have from instamatic cameras...I like the fuzzy edges! The colours do intensify and the emerging leaves are vivid and bright. They make me smile.
