This shot was of a real vehicle. I blurred out the license plate, as it wasn't about identifying the car nor driver, but about the bright red (with some yellow) shocked little Lightling elves.
I was invited to Put this on Worlds Of Thrylium (group). I have no idea if it is in the right place within that group. Hope it is OK.
For Dave C., the *soul* of this one is the taillights in the rain actually look like little puppet like characters. Not exactly Sesame St, but full of character.

At least I think it is a blackberry vine. It looks a lot healthier than the fence.

The sky and clouds were at mid morning.
If you like my word "rainting" I would appreciate it if you would go to Urban Dictionary and vote in the square for thumb's up. Even if it only got 5 or 10 thumb's up and no thumbs down, I would appreciate it. I don't think it has any certain amount it has to get to be in their dictionary. In fact, if I read it correctly, it already got approved and is in.
I don't like to put live links too often but here is a link you can use, I think. There is no prize either, just bragging rights to have a word I coined make it into a dictionary. ;o)

Please give these a second or two more than normal to open up nice and clear. These were in downtown Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, but not inverted. I thought they were pretty cool both ways. Trying to get a n image to work well as a banner on my Flickr sites was not easy.

Anna just turned 3, but this is her 4th Christmas. She wasn't timid or fearful at all. She practically jogged over to see Santa and sit on his lap. She was first in line...I saw to that. LOL This was the first Christmas where she got the drift of telling Santa Claus what she wanted. She wants 3 yo-yos. Go figure!

ABOUT RAINTINGS
Rainting is a word I coined describing a painterly effect, achieved by photographing the subject through glass that is being rained on, like a windshield or other. It achieves an oftentimes pretty or soft flowing effect, and sometimes other-worldly. It is usually creative, fun, and fluid, seldom harsh in my opinion. I have an album of them on Flickr. Rainting is already in "The Urban Dictionary" but I would like it to also be in a more sophisticated/educational type of dictionary. I started a public Flickr group of Raintings on New Year's Day 2020.
The more collegiate type of dictionaries say that the word has to actually be used by people before they're likely to publish it. So if you like the word and my idea, say it loud and say it clear and take a few Raintings and post them to my new group. Using my word and trying my new group are not inclusive of one another.

I also gave it an equalized and an embossed technique, in addition to rotating my image, touching it up and giving it an "expressive" effect.

After being very annoyed that this scrawny little tree was in the way of many of my shots for what I think was years, he finally "grew" on me. Pun intended, but also a true comment. I named the hill after him, Scrawny Tree Hill, and really started enjoying him.

Ever have a horribly stressful day? Of course. Too many of us have plenty of them, regardless of an abundance of blessings. Today was one of those days for me, ranging from overflowing toilets to online scammers and more. So, when I got a break after six hours of crap, I grabbed my X-T2 and a recently purchased (used and beat-up) Fuji 35mm 1.4 lens. Walking outside, I took a generic pic of an empty pot in our yard. The pic is nothing to brag about, but it was therapy. We all take photos for enjoyment, and sometimes the process can help offset the stress we face. When I returned to the house a few moments later, I had a fresher attitude towards all the chaos, and I thank photography for making this happen.
Anna Leigh recently turned 6 months old. Half a year. Wow! I took this picture just a few days before that. She is my only little grandchild, so far. I love her to pieces. :0)
Rocking Red White Blue Roadside Apollo Beach Home Driveway - IMRAN™
Rocking the red, white, and blue shirt I bought, ironically in the state that is always threatening to secede from the Union and elects slime-like Ted Cruz, Texas. Celebrating the start of somewhat more normalcy in the United States since the November 2020 election, and a safe Independence Day 2021. The best is yet to come.
Of course, there are always clouds on most horizons. But I always look up to see the brightness that even impending hurricanes cannot overcome. As hurricane Elsa approaches the west coast of Florida, with its projected path right over my home, I am staying firmly planted to face the future with confidence, hope, and gratitude. Like all storms, this too shall pass. Stay safe, stay strong, stay smiling.
As I often have to, I added my name in the photo because of the sheer number of sons of pig fathers and monkey mothers sleazy scammers who steal photos and posts of mine. They create fake profiles to scam unsuspecting women, some of whom found me later and told me how they were scammed. Facebook does not care about stopping scammers.

HUMOR: I had to laugh at my own typo. When I first typed my title, it said, "Sunset & Clouds Slide Down Hill Like a Lava Flow through Snot" True mistake!

Day 73. Took the motorcycle at 3 in the morning and rode for almost two hours to see the sunrise from the Borobudur temple. After the typical argument with touts and scammers, we were rewarded with a sunrise shared with another +800 tourists.

For Dave C. and other Flickr friends too, I see the *soul* of this photograph being that the silhouettes were cool and the the sunset colors were pretty natural. I didn't have to do much to this picture to make it pretty. It was awesome when I got there.

He is one of my friend's two kittens. He is bigger and slightly older than the other one, and they are different breeds, both beautiful in their own way. This one is half Ragdoll and the other half, I'm not sure of, but think is Flame Point Birman. You can't really tell in this particular shot, but his eyes are a gorgeous blue. Whatever he is, he is a beautiful, smart, sweetie.
Best viewed at least a little bit large to enjoy the watercolor effect that I *slid* onto my regular photo.
I put the general idea of location on Flickr's map, but their maps are oftentimes screwball; so it is not precise.

They flow so smoothly back and forth it was hard to tell if they were going in or out of Burger King.

Not only do they remind me of a little flower garden, but one in which the sprinklers have been left on.

2 pictures more in the future than this one, I put the red-leaved trees closer up and asked for ID. The ID was Nandina domestica. Thanks to moccasinlanding and Plantaholic Sheila.

The map is only approximate. Generally, I don't like to put private homes exactly located. However, Flickr has it wrong anyway. It is not Glenwood area.
This is very close to SOOC. I just used a small amount of bright and contrast on it and cropped off a tiny bit from bottom and right side where I think my truck passenger side mirror had gotten in the way. Otherwise, this was all through my windshield with rain in a total downpour.

They had been discussing building a nest, but it was, after all, still winter. They didn't have any little Robin calendars or smart phones to guide them; so they just perched on the fence, with some trepidation, to watch and wait for the coming snow.

I didn't realize when I first took this picture that there was graffiti under the heart. I can't even read it nor understand it, but I have a feeling the heart is much more charming anyway. I didn't do either one, by the way. ;o)
