Posted for Sliders Sunday - Processed to the MAX!

I was sitting at a local restaurant waiting for my meal to arrive, and found myself looking through my water glass at the various colorful objects behind it. Suddenly I found myself dreaming of traveling the world on a CruiseShip, and exploring every stop along the way - that is; until the waitress arrived with my lunch, and I snapped myself out of my daydream, and re-engaged with the real world around me.

HSS!

Summers simply wouldn't be right without the presence of orange and yellow day lilies. I dressed up this bright beauty with a few effects in Topaz Studio 2 for Sliders Sunday. HSS!

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day and new week ahead!

This cabin is nestled along the Inside Passage in Southeast Alaska. If you long to escape the pressures of the modern world - there is nothing better than a tiny cabin in the wilderness.

Sunset light over Elphin and the Assynt mountains.

There was a bit of jiggery-pokery to dramatise the sunset colours - but not as much as you would think!

Sun is warm - ice is melting - and migratory birds are playing. It must be springtime in Alaska.

Red-necked Phalarope

So precious and innocent. It is hard to believe that anything so adorable, was put on earth to be a main food source, for a great many predators.

It's snowing and blowing out there, so it seemed only right to create something in monochrome for Sliders Sunday. HSS!

Thank you so much for your views and comments, much appreciated! Have a wonderful day!

With "termination dust" on the mountains - (the first snow on the mountains that announces the start of winter in Alaska) - the golden glow of the sunset bathes our bench and fire ring in sunlight one last time, before we put them under cover for the winter. HSS!

Not a window was broken

And the paint wasn’t peeling

Not a porch step sagged -

Yet, there was a feeling

That beyond the door

And into the hall

This was the house of

No one at all.

No one who breathed

Nor laughed, nor ate

Nor said “I love,”

Nor said “I hate.”

Yet something walked

Along the stair

Something that was

And wasn’t there.

And that is why weeds

On the path grow high,

And even the moon

Races fearfully by –

For something walks

Along the stair -

Something that is

And isn't there.

By Vic Crume

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
