For those of my critics who complain that I'm just phoning it in. Sure, the computer does all of the heavy number-crunching but I'm the one who has to do all of the heavy labor involved in pushing all of the right buttons! :D

Grackles have the most lovely shape

A popular eatery in Alaska that is usually packed with tourist's, will see mostly Alaskan's this summer, due to the fact that travel has been limited because of the Corona Virus outbreak.

I haven't done it yet but I can just imagine taking the Charger on this epic road trip. Heading south into Monument Valley, U.S. Route 163 is definitely the stuff dreams are made of. It's endless vistas, sweeping turns, and long stretches would definitely give me (and the Charger's 150 MPH speedometer) a full workout. It would be incredible.

Being that it's Sliders Sunday, I took the dahlia to Topaz Studio 2 where I added a sketch effect. I hope you enjoy! Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thank you for your visit and comment, it's much appreciated. Have a great day and upcoming week!

The forest and a specially built squirrel box, were not enough to entice this little squirrel away from our out buildings. She chewed her way into our water shed, (Before we had the time to log the outer-walls) and then gave birth! Once she spotted us watching her - she relocated her tiny family to the squirrel box - where she should have been in the first place.

Eight degrees, and we are once again fogged in. Looking out my cabin window, the world looks back at me in black and white. Since I've had enough of my colorless world - I turned to my photoshop tools to enhance my bleak landscape.

An egg broke while it was being steamed to the hard-boiled stage and came out of the cooker looking like a little duck. Here you see my Sliders Sunday - "Processed to the MAX!" version. HSS!

(The only thing I did to the egg was to color the shell. No manipulation was needed to change the form.)

(A funny Easter Tale) ~

A parishioner was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed the parishioner by the hand and pulled him aside. The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" The parishioner replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor." Pastor questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?" He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service."

How important is it to choose the right paths in life?

I hope I am making the right choice.

Constructive critiques welcome.

Based on a 2021 shot on "parchment", an artwork by Lydie Arickx, during her exhibition entitled "arborescences", at the Castle of Chambord.

The rainy season has begun in Alaska, as our state begins its transition from summer to autumn. Here and there the last of the fireweed blossoms cling to their stalks in a desperate move to stay alive just one more day before succumbing to their inevitable fate. All too soon our boreal forest will be devoid of color, and we will once again find ourselves locked in a monochromatic world until next spring.

As of today, it has been exactly 74 days since our last significant snowfall. This has been one of the shortest summers I have experienced in this part of Alaska.
