Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #369 Dreamy

Ann-Christine defined Dreamy in the challenge this week. She wrote: “Soft, dreamy photography is one that utilizes soft light, soft focus, delicate tones, and other gentle elements to create ethereal pictures. It often gives a blurred, or hazy feel to the images – an almost surreal or unearthly effect.”  This style often prioritizes mood and feeling, making it popular for subjects like romantic portraits, landscapes, and fairytales. 

These Dreamy pictures were randomly selected and seem to convey different moods or feelings. The one below was taken in one the the many parks in Charleston, SC. Giant live oak trees like this one are seen throughout the City, offering shade and coolness from the hot summer sun. 

This next series of three was taken on Kiawah Island.

The abstract below of the sky is made up of cloud formations after a summer storm. This was taken at at our home in southern Maine. 

Ann-Christian, who suggested the photo challenge for the week, has a beautiful post you might enjoy viewing it by clicking on her name. 

Wishing you good health and be safe!
