Graphic Design - Improvisation
I began with my backyard during playtime with kids. It's fun to pick up whatever is available in the backyard and I finished four images in no time. Continued the rest ideas with all my resources in the playroom and my craft stash. Due to material constraints sometimes, I altered the images in my head and improvised as the collection and process went. Overall the outcome was not far from my expectations.
Jensen Garden Fountain
Happened to find this garden fountain on sale (75% off from $500) and turned out it's the famous “Jensen” garden fountain! Mick has the solar power idea and it pumps the water really well. Love the sound of the fountain and the Zen feel of the backyard.
Photoshop Skills II
Such an excitement to see the full rainbow right after the rain. The original picture can't really express that excitement but I’ve practiced some tricks to quickly restore that WoW moment!
Backyard Firepit Addition
The next day we finally made our mind to make one after attending a friend’s party where we got to enjoy a nice campfire.
Backyard Tiki Vibes
Our kids love our neighbors next door so they like to call out to him whenever seeing him grilling or mowing the lawns. We could basically see several houses’ backwards down the fences because our two-story house has higher foundation.
Backyard Night View
Every night before bed, I like to walk out to enjoy a few minutes of natural air and temperature. Tonight the sky just drew my eyes. The full moon in the picture got a corona shinning perfectly among clouds without shades. I think that's Jupiter simmering in the dark away from moon's glory.
Landscaping Design
We wanted to take the advantage of the afternoon shades of the backyard since it's facing mostly east. It's especially nice during that time for kids to play outside in the summer.
