For Sliders Sunday (processed to the max).

HSS Everybody!

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.

A surreal sunrise take on an egret landing on shore.

A radiant yucca abstraction where intense greens and molten reds pulse from the center—energy in full bloom.

Summer slips by so quickly in Alaska. Our day is shorter by 4 minutes and 43 seconds as of today, tomorrow we will lose another 7 seconds - and so it will continue until December 21st. In one short month we will be reaching for a jacket before heading outdoors in the morning. Last night our temperature dipped down to 48 degrees Fahrenheit, and I snuggled down under a light fleece blanket and slept like a log. I am so glad the heatwave is over, and that we are back to more normal temperature's - but I will remember the nice warm day I spent on the edge of Chilkoot Lake, as a merganser preened his-self on the dock.

Initially I contemplated a minimalist approach with just the bird on the lamp post... but going through my images of water reflections I felt this is a good fill for the negative space.

A composite of two images, one distorted.

I watched as the sea lion's hauled their huge bodies from the sea, and then barked at each other as they fought for the most comfortable place upon the rugged rocks.

With the beat up buoy covered by gull's in the background - it looked like a floating birthday cake, with the sea lions singing the birthday song.

(Yes, I know I have a weird imagination.)

Based on a photograph of Rape seed fields taken on a train journey through South Oxfordshire - The train was moving at the time which is why the focus is quite soft !

Original picture taken by iPhone and digitally manipulated by PicsArt App. While absent from Flickr, I have been entertaining myself using some of the free apps available to IOS and Android users. I have spent satisfying hours playing with these and loading the end result onto my Instagram page. This is just a sample from my latest offerings to show you I have not been wholly uncreative while AWOL :)
