African green mamba...
Having some digital fun with stock images. The shot of the green mamba was taken in Jan 2014 during a reptile exhibit at the RBG.
We have a huge flock of White Crowned Warblers draining our feeders every day. Snow is melting rapidly, and huge puddles are full of thirsty, and bathing birds. I expect the warblers to take off any day, and head to the tundra where they will build nests on the ground and lay their eggs. Until then, I am really enjoying the sound of their happy chirps.

The idea for this abstract nature image formed while manipulating another image posted earlier today (spider www.flickr.com/photos/vivid_dreams/37443059864/in/datepos...). This is a small cropped section from the lower center right of the image.
The cropped image was rotated 180 degrees, converted to monochrome which was then inverted to the negative look, pushed the contrast for better blacks and cleaned up any white spots.
From cold ground,
A grave
The Breath of Spring
Warms the air
Draws colours,
Life unfurls,
Rising from Winter sleep

Merrin really liked those wings, so this is for my beautiful best friend and wife!
I had questions about the display on the opera house.
So just a bit of information about this lightshow, it is a 15 min. looping cycle of moving pictures, a bit like a movie projected onto the sails.
This is what makes it so tricky to get a decent shot of it, exposures can't be longer than half a second anything longer gets blurry. Not your normal long exposure!
Vivid Sydney will continue for another 2 weeks

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

I went outside and found the ugliest dying weed we have and photographed it from the top down. I used our colorful groundcover as a backdrop, and took the whole thing into TS. Tada! Now the ugly old thing looks kinda spiffy.
(I think the name of this ugly plant is - "Labrador Lousewort." It even has an ugly name to go with it. LOL)

This was the view from the cottage we stayed in at Easter.
Throughout my city, on parking lots and in community centres, you'll find huge piles of snow that have been cleared from the streets. My guess is that this "mountain" is 15-20' feet tall. Being that it's Sliders Sunday, I added a few filters, then saturated the colours. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!
Thank you for your views and comments, they're greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day!
Wishing all of the Dad's out there a very happy Father's Day. May your day be filled with the things you like to do - just as it was for the young man in this image.

I crushed my flimsy water bottle up and threw it in the trash. Before I closed the lid, I noticed it was reflecting the colors of the objects beneath it. Since it caught my attention, I thought I'd grab a quick shot and see what fun I could have with it in Topaz.
Tada!

One of my personal favourites of the Opera house series, just to break it up a bit.
We spent the long weekend in Sydney to see The 'Vivid Sydney" light show this year.
What can I say! What a spectacular show.
If you have a chance to go, this is a must see event if you in or around Sydney at the time.
For more information see : www.vividsydney.com/
The projected images are constantly moving and it is quite a challenge to get it right.
Hope you enjoy.
Thanks for looking

I am so happy whenever it snows!
