Tried a few different options this week, some which didn't work as I wanted. I still got some really cool shots which I will share at some point. This one is a very different style for me. This paint brush is only 1cm wide.

Really appreciate your comments and favourites as always.

Currently, it's hard to focus on my project but I hate to stop so I am just phoning it in for a bit. Just another quick recycled idea. Thanks for hanging in there with me, real life is taking over my focus and emotions right now. There are big transitions and changes which have left me anxious and drained.

This Eastern Bluebird was a portrait of perfection in the early morning sunlight, with not a feather out of place. But just a few hours later, his appearance became disheveled during a drenching afternoon rain. It's a good thing he's wash and wear - he'll be back to his handsome self in no time.

I didn't manage to catch any falling droplets from the icicles in my previous photo (at least not with any degree of sharpness, since I didn't have my faster 50mm lens on), so here is one from last winter. I doubt we are going to have any more snow or ice this season, so there go my chances of trying this again!

... this is a different crop (a square crop that I love these days) and re-edit of a photo I'd posted last year....

Mute swans are pretty uncommon in northern California, but there's a bunch of them on Cameron Lake. Perhaps they're "locally common".

I liked the drips made as I watered my window box tulips yesterday. It seemed as if each one contained its own little garden. The image is flipped vertically.

One more day to go before I'm disconnected. Yay! Then the side effects kick in. Boo!

You got that special sauce to spur my curiosity
