Orton
Spring’s Baby Blues
I don’t know the name of these flowers, but they are the first sign of spring color in our yard each year. They are very tiny, standing only 1.5 to 2 inches tall, and grow in a clump smaller than the size of my outstretched hand. My wife is disappointed that, though they are faithful to pop up every year, they don’t seem to be spreading.
To create that soft look, I applied an effect known as the “Orton Effect.” This is an image I’ve had on my computer for more than a week. I’ve been preoccupied with so many other things, I’ve not been able to post it sooner.
