Lost Horizon was always meant to be a place where Spring/Summer never ended. That all changed on a fateful photography shoot to Calas Galadhon that got my inspiration juices flowing and longing for the reds, golds, yellows and browns of autumn that just would not be denied.  So I found myself investing in season changing trees, instead of shoes and one day I just dug right in and started.  I pulled up every shrub and tree in the meadow, forest, landing point and around the main house. I planted, modified, edited, deleted and planted some more until I was satisfied with the over all effect.

While I have used several creators designs, Heart Garden Center’s alder, maple, pine and oak trees figure predominately in Lost Horizon’s landscape, along with a large plant/flower selection. Oh! and let’s not forget the weeping willows.   Lost Horizon will be closed the month of December so I can complete the rest of the landscape renovation to the oak forest and landing point entrance.  Stay tuned as there is much more newness to come!  Be kind to one another.

My Hump Day posts of late have become experiments in light and shadows, along with the use of filters and effects, but never over processed to the point that the photograph does not represent the designers creation properly.  I’ve wanted to keep the shot focused on the lingerie, or apparel I consider Hump Day worthy, hence minimal distractions in the photograph. Over the last 2 plus years I have become quite comfortable in various stages of undress for these posts.  My one rule has been no full frontal nudity, which means one has to be creative with camera angles and I am becoming fairly adept at this too, sorta, kinda.   It is my hope that you have enjoyed these posts as much as I’ve had creating them.  Let’s continue shall we? Happy Hump Day!  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥
