in a rut or in the groove?

Hard to know sometimes. Seems like I'm using my phone for photos a lot these days. One fact: the pool was 3'-6"/1.1m deep.

 

Flowers of a nearby hau tree (Hibiscus tiliaceus) fell into the narrow drain slot on the zero-edge side of this pool. The blooms last only a day, starting as bright yellow, turning pink and then falling.

 

Btw - I used Jixipix Grungetastic for the frame here. My PSE20 has a limited frame selection and I've been having trouble finding other frames that don't erase my camera info when I use them. However, I discovered that if I move all the sliders to zero in the grunge mode of Grungetastic, I could get rid of the grunge effect and keep the frame. This actually works with all the grungetastic modes, but they leave a trace of grunge and/or toning - this trace is very minimal in the grunge mode.
