Just wanted to have some fun in the park like I use to, only problem was that I had to find a park that was not gated and also not well lit....lol
tried to keep it simple, stuck some LED lights to the roundabout and sent in spinning...Cropped the picture a little in LR.

Sloan, Nevada - 24 AUG 2016
A girl posing for a photo at the Seven Magic Mountains art exhibit adjacent to Interstate 15 in Sloan, Nevada, about 15 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip.
Internationally renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinoneâs Seven Magic Mountains is a large-scale site-specific public art installation located near Jean Dry Lake and Interstate 15, approximately ten miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada. Comprised of seven towers of colorful, stacked boulders standing more than thirty feet high, Seven Magic Mountains is situated within the Ivanpah Valley adjacent to Sheep Mountain and the McCullough, Bird Spring, and Goodsprings ranges of mountains. A creative expression of human presence in the desert, Seven Magic Mountains punctuates the Mojave with a poetic burst of form and color. The exhibition opened May 11, 2016 and will be on display for two years.
I call them Magic Mushrooms since this little sketch came so fast and free...:)
Watercolor & Ink
Once again, the beginning ink is the Elegant Writer calligraphy pen which I used to draw the mushrooms...then I wet the lines with brush and water which makes an explosion of blue/pink/grey....then I added the watercolor....finally touches from a Micron pen and a Pentel white gel pen...:)
Yep! it was the beard that got a conversation started. He calls himself Magic because of his skills as a magician. The beard, it turns out, is more that 30 years in the making. It does continue out of frame just a bit more. After the information about the beard was out of the way, Magic sat with us while we shared coffee and conversation. He was an electrician by trade, brought up in Buffalo, NY and do to some health issues he cannot preform his magic act as well as he would like. He did ,somewhat reluctantly, agree to this Flickr picture although he did mention he doesn't normally want to be photographed . After he pondered my request for a picture for Flickr he did say "Ah go ahead, no ones looking for me" Thank you Magic. I enjoyed meeting you.

So Much Sweetness
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
So much sweetness is now flowing
On to the everlasting deep
Like heartbeat that is going
And not for my love to keep
Every dream is like a desire
Always in its days reality
When moments keep the fire
For thoughts to come and be
So much is still in its crusade
With its useful on day dreaming
Never thoroughly done or made
In its steady going scheming
Like yesterdays were once new
With so much still to say
They are now all old in do
With coming of another day
So much tender in its while
In all the footsteps that passed
What is love without its style?
Which songs will forever last?
Deep inside I still try to find
What this life is all here for
And why so much is left behind
When we open up tomorrow’s door
A plein air but most of the trees and the hills are my imagination. The horizon line looks more like from Upper Michigan than Mid Michigan. See those dark trees right below the setting sun? A great way to cover a barn that didn't turn out right-it's magic!
A quick iPhone snapshot that i took today in the English Garden in Munich.
I have never seen such nice fungis on a tree. Does anyone know what it is?
First attempt at light painting, somewhat clumsy...
A real live cat is hidden in this image, can you find him ? ;-)
My exercise of the day: making Magic Tipjars hhe
There is one with a pop up Bunny, one that has pop-up Bananas and one that has random action! woooooh :D so sometimes a Bunny pops up and sometimes Bananas.
Isn't life marvelous!!
Walking in the Circeo National Park. This is a magic area full of history and gorgeous nature. A perfect place for the Magic Forest project with autumn mood.

MAGIC-II is one of the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov twin telescopes located at the Observatorio Roque de Los Muchachos (ORM) on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands.
I was barely able to capture a time-lapse of the scope just before it's observing session ended during moonrise and daybreak. I had to crop a sizeable amount since the photo was taken from quite a distance. The instruments are extremely sensitive to any electronic disturbance. The green laser emitted from the William Herschel Telescope is reflected on the mirror assembly. Above the telescope the Andromeda galaxy can be seen as a faint smudge, while iridium flares can be seen below it and at far right.
I visited the island of La Palma (Canary Islands) to attend the "Astromaster" advanced landscape - astrophotography timelapse workshop. Please take the time to visit the links below:

You can read the blog post on the Magic of Books here!
Some books stay with you long after you've read them. These are some of the books that I'd read in my childhood. For most, I only vaguely remember the content. But I do remember the magical world they used to transport me to, and warm, fuzzy feeling they used to leave me with. It's a small tribute to them and a reminder for me to read them again.

All the Abstracts AJ and I do are things that can't be seen by our eyes. So it must be in this magic moment it all comes to life for us all to see. Thinking of this we need to live slower to see more magic all a round us. have a great day.

Father and son collaboration
Our photographic art is a kinetic motion study, from the results of interacting with my son A.J and his toys.
He was born severely handicapped much like a quadriplegic. On December 17,1998. Our family’s goal has always been to help A.J. use his mind, even though he has minimal use of his body.
A.J. likes to watch lights and movement. One of the few things he can do for himself is to operate a switch that sets in motion lights and various shiny, colorful streamers and toys that swirl above his bed.
One day I took a picture of A.J. with his toys flying out from the big mobile near his bed like swings on a carnival ride. I liked the way the swirling objects and colors looked in the photo.
I wanted to study the motion more and photograph the whirling objects in an artful way, I wanted my son A.J. to be a part of it. After all, he’s the one who inspires me. When A.J. and I work together on our motion artwork, A.J. starts his streamers and objects twirling, I take the photographs.
Activating a tiny switch might not seem like much to some, but it’s all A.J. can do. He controls the direction the mobile will spin, as well as when it starts and stops. The shutter speeds are long, and sometimes, I move the camera and other times I hold it still.
I begin our creation with a Nikon digital camera. Then I use my computer with Photoshop to alter the images into what I feel might be an artistic way. Working with Photoshop, I find the best parts from several images and combine them into the final composite photograph. I consider the finished work to be fine art. The computer is just the vehicle that helps my expressions grow.
I take the photographs and A.J. adds the magic. It’s something this father and son do together. After I’ve taken a few shots, I show him the photos in the back of the camera. When the images are completed, I show him from a laptop. He just looks. He can’t tell me whether or not he likes the images, but he’s always ready to work with me again.
It offers me my only glance into A.J.’s secret world. We’ve built a large collection of images and I hope the motion and color move you as much as they do me.
A.J. inspires me to work harder to understand my life in the areas of art, photography, people, spirituality, and so much more. He truly sets my mind in motion and helps me find the beauty in everyday things.

Some queue details from the new Little Mermaid dark ride. I really enjoy this queue, it's so well done. It'll be nice though once the palm trees can stand on their own and won't need those 2x4's :) Thanks for looking!
