Dried flowers, for the "Smile on Saturday" theme; "Get nature in your home".

The heads of these tiny flowers are so small that they are immeasurable. HSoS!

These tiny dried flower heads are trapped inside of a large canning jar, along with a bird on a nest. It's a cute display, but rather hard to get a decent shot of. Since I live in rural Alaska - our days are dark, and temperatures have been running between twenty and thirty below zero for almost a month. Not exactly the weather for growing house plants - or even keeping them alive.

Thanks to all who have taken time to view, comment, and fave my photo - I truly appreciate it.

The challenge in this image was creating enough RGB noise to blend in the lotus leaf with the background texture (grain).

This scene was photographed at a small roadside park just north of Hamilton, Illinois on the Mississippi River. I was surprised to see the large wall of vegetation that had grown up in the river (which looks like the opposite shoreline)… giving the appearance that the river was much more narrow than it actually is. I surmised that the river is shallow at this point. In this composite, all of the birds were added.

Hello There!

For Slider's Sunday (and my weekly experiment), I decided to take the neighbourhood cat to Deep Dream Generator (DDG). Then I tweaked the colours in Topaz Studio to get a bit more "pizazz" (or so I hoped)! Happy Slider's Sunday! HSS!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day!

I found this little dead leaf still hanging on an alder tree near our cabin. With all of the wind we have had recently - I don't know how it hung on. While a dead leaf is not necessarily a thing of beauty - with a little Photoshop work he looked a bit more pleasing to the eye.

National Squirrel Appreciation Day is noticed on January 21. It’s everything in regard to the squirrel. They are so beautiful, from the large cute eyes, to the little standing ears, to the fluffy-tailed hair. The nut-burying herbivorous animal performs a vital function within the setting. It is essential to understand and acknowledge these scurrying animals for his or her lively function. National Squirrel Appreciation Day was created to acknowledge all various kinds of squirrels.

**The squirrel in this image was destroying a towel we had draped over a picnic table to dry. He was so cute that we didn't have the heart to scold him.
