Etta looking at a dead wasp I found on the South Lawson Fire Trail. She is usually interested in what I'm looking at😀
"Sometimes I go wandering on unknown roads. I don't ask for directions. This road looks intriguing. This journey all the more mysterious. I don't know how to get back. I don't want to get back. I know I am lost and I don't care."
Tried Gorman-Holbert conversion method after Knowsnotmuch pointed me to it. I kept experimenting and this is the outcome. "I can't retrace my steps now!"

This is a candid snapshot, opportunity presented to me during the Flower Festival which was in full swing in the street outside the cafe I was in. Processed it to enhance the natural curves of my subject.

These beautiful days ... do not exist as mere pictures - maps
hung upon the walls of memory to brighten at times when
touched by association or will ... They saturate themselves
into every part of the body and live always.

Inspired by the beautiful photo taken by fellow flickr member Ms Karen Axelrad
Following is the link to her original work:

It is a beautiful photo with perfect colour harmony, composition and quite complicated lighting structure typical inside of an art gallery. I gave it my "best shot" but I am afraid I might not have done the original photo justice.
The sub-tropical sun rises over Currumbin Lagoon as a dog walker takes time out to watch. Other early risers move about in the shadows on the beach and the path leading by surf watch tower. A cold front from the south pushes into the top right of the scene.
1. Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
2. The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
3. Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
4. The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
5. The moment of observation is the real find ...
6. Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
7. Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
8. The meaning of all this is the process!
9. Let it be!
