After going on a few recent road trips, we are content to stay home now while gas prices soar. I am grateful I have a safe home to be in. So I am working on images from our trip last fall still. This scene of a beach in PEI shows an interesting pattern of erosion on the sand dune. It was not there when we walked by on our way out to the water’s edge. I don’t think it was wind that created the repeating pattern. I think the edge of the dune just gave way in these specific sections. It looks like sheaves of wheat the way farmers used to leave in the field many years ago. It made me wonder how often the landscape changes in a day by the Atlantic shores.
Happy Smile on Saturday ( with the theme K)
La Crécerelle d’Amérique est le plus petit faucon
du Québec. Son cri aigu caractéristique trahit sa
présence dans les champs, malgré sa petite taille.
Comme chez la plupart des faucons, on peut
observer sous les yeux des crécerelles des rayures
noires verticales, appelées moustaches.
Le mâle a les ailes bleues ardoisées et le dos brun
rougeâtre tacheté de points noirs. Sa poitrine
rousse porte quelques taches noires et sa queue
rousse n’a qu’une seule bande noire à son
extrémité. La femelle a les ailes et le dos
complètement roux et tachetés de noir. Sa poitrine
porte de fines rayures foncées. Sa queue rousse
porte plusieurs petites bandes noires.
I have no clue what kind of flower this is other than its bud is quite photogenic. This was shot in the Frida Kahlo exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden a few weekends ago. I did not have to do much to this photo, since the bud did most of the work. Anyway, really fun photo that I had fun trying to shoot. Enjoy! :)
Hattah-Kulkyne National Park lies in typical mallee country with extensive low scrub and open native pine woodland. Superbly adapted birds, animals and vegetation thrive in the poor, sandy soils and searing summers.
The freshwater Hattah Lakes is seasonally filled by creeks connected to the Murray, providing food and shelter for waterbirds and fish. These lakes can remain full for up to ten years without flooding, but flooding generally occurs once every two years.
this pattern was produced by using this night scene photo : flic.kr/p/AF9zUd
there were two layers, the upper layer is simply making vertical strips to the photo and then took away alternate strips, the lower layer is rotating the photo 90 degree left and scale up to match the width !
For the Happy Caturday theme "Patterns".
Tofu's fur may be fluffy but it doesn't have much to offer when it comes to patterns. The only exception is his face with its orange "mask" and the quite clearly visible M on his forehead. Sethi with his tabby fur would have been a more obvious choice for this theme but I had to take him to the vet yesterday for his vaccination and he doesn't talk to me at the moment. :)
Happy Caturday !
painting on paper...size 51 x 41 cm...Windsor & newton block of acrylic paper with canvasstructure...I just love to paint on this paper...but when framing it is much easier with an ordinary canvas....but I just like this paper and paint on both sides...depends...this is on the not structured side of it...It is a block of paper that I just had and not used for a long periode but sometimes you just go through what you have and find things that turn up more useful than you thought....
outside the weather is so good...spring is definitely here though it is still a bit cold and you need to wear gloves and something around your neck still....
