The Blue Patch strong broken clouds create some odd colors in this beautiful sunset in North Carolina.
Patched - Both the sides and the roof of this old barn look to have been patched together over the years. It looks like there is more patching to do if this one is to survive.
This is a simple blend of some digital photos I took last year of some purple flowers.
I am often asked about my process. In all honesty, here is the process I used when creating this blended wallpaper:
Step 1. TAKE UGLY PHOTOS
I was taking a series of unflattering pictures of the Phoenix, Arizona cityscape and desert to send to some friends back east. The message being, "well at least you don't live here!"
Near the apartments where I used to live, there was a patch of purple floral ground covering which was quite unattractive, so I took numerous shots of it from many focal lengths and angles.
Step 2. BLEND THEM AS A JOKE
After I created my earlier red flower blends, I rediscovered this set, so I blended "the ugly purple flower photos" just for fun. I was surprised how pretty it turned out, but I still wasn't satisfied.
For months, I've tried to turn this blend into something stunning, with no luck. During this time, I randomly set this blend as my own computer desktop wallpaper, and promptly forgot about it.
Step 3. LET SOMEONE SEE THEM ACCIDENTALLY
My housemate walked into my home office the other day, during a rare moment when I had no windows open on my computer, and saw the desktop and said, "Wow! Pretty!"
I was a little surprised, since he's quite a collector of digital wallpapers, but I thought, hey, if he likes it as is, maybe some other folks will, too.
Step 4. RESIZE AND PUBLISH TO FLICKR
So I polished up the blend a little, resized it to standard desktop wallpaper sizes, and decided to upload it as is. If anything ever comes to me, I'll put the "finished" version up later!

Flowers (Plumbago I think) compete for attention a garden at Yering Station vineyard in the Yarra Valley.
In these here parts, this time of year, skies spend almost all of their time grey or rainy or both. But a brief interlude to the damp gloom this week drew me downtown to try to find some abstracts in the urban reflections.
Every year, we take the kids to the same pumpkin patch I went to as a kid - complete with hayrides, corn mazes, trains, & lots of mud. But this year, all we were missing was the mud! Oregon has blessed us with such beautiful weather this late in October, & we are taking full advantage of it! All this beauty - basically in our own backyard!

(Sorry to have been away, we had a horrible ice storm and lost electricity for three days.)
Really neat cab detail on 1747; You can see the 4701 number that was applied when it was first painted in Family Lines for SCL after rebuilding, the SBD patch that came next, two sets of sublettering for CSX and CSXT with 1747 in their font, and finally the CWCY sublettering.

A 1940s Oliver Row Crop 60 tractor at the DeLuca Farm Pumpkin Patch on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. I saved a group of pumpkins in one of my photos as a pattern and layered the tractor photo on top.
