Liberty

16 years ago

I've been lurking around this forum for a while, learning a lot and admiring the beautiful photography. I've never posted a picture before, that's one of the many things I've learned(depending on how this turns out).This picture, taken last year with just a 2 MP Kodak p&s is one of the best I've ever taken. Must be the subject matter!!

Mare, glad you decided to share your photo. Nice job of framing the subject;~)

I'm trying to learn more about photography too. Isn't it great to have these digital cameras that take endless numbers of photos and give us the results instantly. I've started carrying my camera in the car all the time so I can grab a shot of anything that interests me. Last evening I stopped and photographed a door. Lol.

Please keep shooting and posting.

That's a great picture and one to be proud of. I love that you took it with a 2mp camera. I always say the photographer and the composition are much more important than the equipment used. I'm currently struggling with a decision over which new camera to purchase and you reminded me that a person can stress too much over a megapixel or two! Thanks!

Oh my! Just saw this! Nice to know others love Liberty as much as I do. Mine don't look good this year at all. I was gone and they got frozen. It happened once last year too, so I'm going to need to baby them. Liberty's only down side, IMO, is that it's such an early riser, so subject to late frosts and freezes here in Michigan. I'd plant them again though for sure!

Will Liberty survive and thrive in a container or small raised bed?

Thanks, Ken! I decided to plant something else entirely in that spot, and not bother with the moving or storing of any pots...my husband hogs the garage with his tractor and its attachments and there is barely any room for my vehicle. I am NE of Ann Arbor, but am familiar with Livonia….my favorite donut shop is there - the Looney Baker, the apple fritters are as large as my head and oh so delicious!! A collegue used to bring them into our office once a week and we’d darn near fight over them. But as soon as my husband retires, we are looking to move to the west side of Michigan and to purchase at least a 20 acre parcel, possibly more if we can find the right house and setting.

towel bar to coordinate with Liberty artesia in champagne bronze?
Q
Comments (0)
We are nearing the end of a kitchen renovation. The knobs and polls on the cabinets are Liberty Artesia in Champagne bronze. The appliances are GE café with the brushed bronze handles. Kitchen faucet is the matching brushed gold Delta trinsic faucet. All of my light fixtures have brushed bronze, etc. I’m not sure what to do about the fake drawer in the sink cabinet. It is 36 inches wide, as you would expect. The longest Liberty Artesia drawer pull is only 11 1/2 inches and I think it looks ridiculous. I was hoping to put a towel bar there that would go with the other hardware but I can’t find anything that looks right. Any suggestions?

Turned out nice, Mare!

This forum was my inspiration to pic up my camera more...not to mention I got my 1zt p&s cam and whoa...everything is for shooting...and I carry it with me 99.9% of the time...My kids laugh at me...Were just going to the store!

It's a fun hobby...and glad you shared!
