Meh.... it's colorful and fun.....
I went to nearby Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. I took two shots of this Japanese fountain with an LED light from two different directions, then blended them.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo separately from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

I'd forgotten how green everything is in spring, this a top down shot of lilies after a spring shower...
for Macro Mondays
Note 100% happy with the sharpness of this but I can't be bothered to retake it because it's so hot the varnish dries up as soon as it gets to the end of the brush and I have to sit there for ages with my finger on the trigger waiting for it to drip.

Etta's been in the waterhole :)
Daily Dog Challenge: Fibonacci
I hadn't heard of this before but it's quite fascinating. I think, if I understand correctly, that this approximates the Fibonacci spiral. Hope so :I
A minnow looks enviously at a drip of water that has broken free of the beak tip of a juvenile Tri-colored Heron on Horsepen Bayou.
This image was captured for the Macro Mondays theme: "drips, drops and splashes".
Perhaps the most frustrating theme I've attempted, this shot represents one of about five hundred shots captured for the theme.
I love watching drops as they gather along horizontal surfaces. Forming a tidy row, they start small and grow in size, plumping and stretching. The bigger they get, the better I can see the fantastical, upside-down version of my world inside each watery orb. Pulled by gravity, they tremble to hold on but eventually they fall and the cycle begins again.
Like a giant metronome of life, they measure the moments.
Drip, drop. Tick, tock.
Writing about human suffering runs many risks, and most of these risks have been the subject of to much commentary. But there is also the artifice of packaging something so it offends the senses, but not too much. Surely, this too is a marker of a lost innocence. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never be asked to write, or even reflect overmuch on what is described in these pages, because in Haiti, I am asked to do only one thing: be a doctor, to serve the destitute sick. And since none of my patients can pay for my services, it is my job, my great privilege, to draw attention to the suffering of the poor and to bring resources to bear on the problems that are remediable. Most are.
I contemplate my own loss of innocence with resentment, sometimes in even in tearful silence. From whom can I demand it back? As Garcia Lorca said, "Things that go away never return-everybody knows that."
Everybody knows that things that go away never return.
