I thought I'd try again. I wrote a story a week ago with another image, but it all came to naught when the app refused to upload it. The thing is, Ali and I are still sunning it up in Lanzarote, although we are counting down the days until we have to return to four months of the solar eclipse that passes for winter at home now.
So talking of winter, here’s one from darkest February a couple of years ago at Burnham-on-Sea. I've no idea what made me choose this, other than I just found it in my cloud archive and wondered why it had never seen the light of day before now. Normal story telling will resume soon. Hope you're all well!
She's just a girl and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy, lonely like a highway
She's living in a world and it's on fire
Filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away
She got both feet on the ground
And she's burning it down
She got her head in the clouds
And she's not backing down
Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls say
Everybody stares, as she goes by
'Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her as she's lighting up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn,
baby, burn...

A fellow photographer and friend from the UK wanted to learn more about masking in Photoshop, and Zoom to the rescue. I started with one of my shots that never thrilled me, but thought it was a good simple shot to start with. As far as the dime a dozen shots of '55 Chevys go, IMO, it was just OK, and it's color was not my favorite. Kind of a peach color, ergo the title. I showed him the power of the new Object Selection tool in Photoshop, and if any further cleanup is required a few other tools can be used. However, typically I use the Polygonal tool for that. I went on to tell him that if you are selecting the subject (car here) but want to do something with the rest of the image, (the background) and not the subject, you must click Inverse before doing any of that. I told him that if you are going to spray out the background like above, you can pick any color you want, but a color already in the image usually works well, or as in the case here, a complimentary color. Maybe a bit of a stretch here, and being that the cars color is in the red family, the compliment of red is green, and therefore my reasoning for going with a shade of green. So, as I'm working my way through this demo process with him my original feelings about not liking the image started to change, and I actually kind of like it now. I think it's proof as to how, with a little extra play, you can turn a mediocre image into something a little more special. So, the takeaway here is don't throw in the towel on those "so so" images, there just may be hope for them.

May we always remember that, even when times look dark, the sun still shines and with it, there is hope.

Spied this beautiful moment while hanging out with the darling Samantha Yates and Alison Sparx.
Sam graciously stood still just long enough for me to catch her behaving for a change!

Snapshot this morning outside my window ;-)
Buntspecht***great spotted woodpecker***Dendrocopos major
By the River Ysgethin very lush green all over the woodlands from trees, moss, large ferns, ivy, bluebells, wild flowers and much much more.
It has a magical feeling to be there- just the two of us walking.
No-one else about just the birds singing away above the tree tops and blue skies.
Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will Mother Earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime
After all there's only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself, time after time
I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days
I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I'm hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us, this time
I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away oh yeah
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days
Your higher power maybe God or Jesus Christ
It doesn't really matter much to me
Without each others help there ain't no hope for us
I'm living in a dream of fantasy, oh yeah yeah yeah!
If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?
I'm just a dreamer, I dream my life away (today)
I'm just a dreamer, who dreams of better days (okay)
I'm just a dreamer, who's searching for the way (today)
I'm just a dreamer, dreaming my life away (oh yeah yeah yeah)
