As I was going through photos from this last October, I noticed one in which there was a figure which looked as if it were dusting the leaves.
I thought perhaps an extreme slide might be appropriate. I did a bunch of dodging and burning. Then copied and turned it to LAB color mode. Inverting the A channel turned a lot of the green to magenta and therefore brown when combined with the yellow of the B channel.
I masked off the faerie duster so that a separate curves adjustment accentuated its blue.
And strange as it seems, this is what I saw when looking at the unedited image.

Happy Sliders Sunday!

This beautiful 'feathery' red flower is commonly known as 'Fairy Duster'. It is native to California, Mexico and nearby areas, though it is beginning to appear in Malaysian gardens.

It’s a pocket musclecar. The Duster (model years 1970-76) was a derivative of Plymouth’s compact economy car, the Valiant. It was available in a 2-door body style only. The optional 340 cubic inch V8 was rated at 275 hp (some say conservatively) which created a quick and fast little car.
A base spec duster! Have been trying to find one of these for a while now, love them. A very late pre face lift one too.
It reminds me of a floor duster.
I may not always get to thank you for every fave or reply to a comment that you might leave here on my image but, just know each comment is read and very much appreciated.
This is the 2nd consecutive day on which my photo has a Chrysler Corporation vehicle, specifically a Plymouth! I couldn’t necessarily title this as ‘Gold Duster’ because that was a specific package of the Duster.
The Duster was a variation of Plymouth’s compact Valiant with which it shared front end sheetmetal back to the cowl. The most interesting ones (in my opinion) were the ones with the 340 cid V8 engine.
I don’t know what’s in this one. The photo was taken through an opening in a chain link fence. The wheels and tires suggest something potent. Through the spokes of the front wheel, the brake disc appears to be drilled.
This somewhat unusual flower is a red Calliandra Eriophylla, commonly known as fairy duster. It is native to California, Mexico and nearby areas. 'Calliandra' means beautiful stamens and 'Eriophylla' is Greek for wooly leaf.

So it was late in the day and I realized today was day 100 for me so I came with a quick idea to get as many props from my first 100 days into this shot. Here goes:
1) The pink onesie
2) Red neck belt buckle
3) Penguins playoff rally towel
4) Coconut bra (HAT)
5) Plastic lei (HAT)
6) Half nekkid (HNT)
7) Crutches from when I hurt my ankle on my first jump shot.
8) Jake
9) Peanut butter
10) Mr. Banana from the banana stripper in my kitchen
11) Feather duster
12) Jack Daniels (I think I am drinking in about a third of my shots)
13) Fetucinni wig (aka pasta head)
14) Twinkle lights in the indoor tree
15) Bar of soap in the mouth
16) Aviator sunglasses
...and I had "100" written on my hand and totally forgot about it when I took the shot.
It has been a fun, wierd, and strange ride through the frist 100 days but I am looking forward to the next 100. Hopefully I can make you laugh along the way....or at least say, "What is wrong with that guy."
The quality of this shot sucks but there is a lot going on here and trying to keep Jake sitting still led to me using the flash.....and it went down hill from there.

First shot on the roll. Not exactly in focus, but I like the way the red at the top of the image matched the red of the feather duster.
I caught this photo as the crop duster was buzzing by my barn yesterday. I had to zoom out a little to fit him in my frame, he was so close!
[…] Das düster Land. Ein Land ohne Freude. Ohne Lust und Geschmack. Das düster Land ist eines meiner Gaben an die Menschheit. Sollen sie dürr und hoffnungslos dahin rotten.
Was geht es mich an. Mich interessieren niedere Kreaturen nicht. Verschmutztes Pack. Schwaches Pack. Verkrüppelt und nicht meiner würdig. Was interessiert es mich. Sei gnädig bettelten Sie.
Sei gnädig bettelten Sie. Ich war gnädig. Ich absorbierte das Leben aus dem Land und lies ihnen verdorbenen Boden und versteinerte Bäume zurück. So war ich gnädig, dass sie selbst verenden durften. In ihrer zerstörten Welt. […] Ausschnitt aus dem Roman „Düster Land“ von Anne Woyand (Es ist noch in der Bearbeitung)

Sitting across from the donut shop. Getting attention from fans of the old muscle cars and the cops.
I remember as a kid seeing a lot more crop duster's dusting the fields. But you don't nearly see as many crop duster anymore, mainly because of the chemical issues and I believe due to the modifications of the crop itself to be more disease resistance.
Having talked to a lot of crop dusters pilots over the years I've never met one that had never crashed at least once, I guess that's the occupational hazard of their job.
