Here is my take on Iron Photographer 65, combining a shirt (with buttons) and something you'd find at a child's birthday party, in square format.
I went for a direct graphic approach, using bold colours that we associate with kid's parties. The yellow balloon combines the kid's party element, the act of inflation and, perhaps, a feeling that one's head is about to burst if the kids keep screaming!
I went for a clean simple composition, to provide a sense of balance after the assault from the vivid colours.
Eleutherodactylus cystignathoides campi
They are native to extreme South Texas but can be found in and along the coast as far north as Galveston and Houston since they hitch rides like my Froggy did. It skips the tadpole stage and hatches out of its egg as a small adult. Info from here where you can listen to them chirp. They are pretty small, up to 2.5 cm. They may be very common around here though I rarely see them. I keep hearing noises like they make and always thought it was some kind of cricket.
A simple scrapbook containing small photographs, printed and mounted by Henri Cartier-Bresson in 1946, has become one of the most important photographic artefacts of the 20th century. It was Cartier-Bresson's exhibition proposal that resulted in his seminal solo exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art, in 1947. link
This guy was hanging out under a flood light waiting for dinner. He didn't like me interrupting him.
This guy was very active when I found him. I thought it was a moth at first since it was night and he had moth like coloration.

Black and white version here.
This is a John Deere 3010 from the early 1960s. I didn't know it when I did this treatment to it, but that makes it even better.
The tractor hasn't moved in years and the grass is so high, this is as close as I have got. One of the early shots in my stream is this same tractor taken two years before from nearly the same spot.
Still feel like playing with old photos so started up Paint Shop Pro again. I started with two shots of this tractor which weren't close enough to HDR which was my original plan. Grass and wind are problems for the HDR technique. I layered a blown out photo with Exclusion on the normal shot. Both were Clarified first. Then inverted it and did a bunch of Difference and Exclusion layers. Other than that, I doubt I could repeat it. In the end I had 7 image layers, not counting the adjustment layers and a mask layer.
Does this make you yawn? It does me. ;-O
He was sleeping on this stick and my photographing him woke him up. I was shooting him when all the sudden he started yawning. I have woke up sleeping lizards before, but none ever yawned.
Beaches were closed along the Sussex coast last night as a massive clean-up operation began to remove thousands of pieces of timber washed ashore over the weekend.
Worthing was hit hardest with 6ft piles of wood stacking up along the shoreline for as far as the eye could see.
The drama began after 2,000 tonnes of timber fell overboard from the deck of the Greek-registered vessel Ice Prince before she sank in rough seas 26 miles off Portland Bill in Dorset on Tuesday. The Argus
Found in South Texas. It was less than a centimeter long, but I don't remember how much smaller. It looks like a male Common Hentz Jumper (Hentzia palmarum).
...and nothing on the box.
