You might have to view it pretty large to notice any painterly effects, but I did put some on my photo.
For Dave C. and other Flickr friends, and also for the "If These Walls Could Talk" (group), I think the soul of this picture is how pretty it is amongst all the concrete, and oil stains of a parking garage. If this wall could talk, I think it would say that it wished people would NOT choose to park right in front of it, because it makes it really hard for Delina to get a good picture. There are many other spaces people could park in.

The single pole looks taller than the twin pylons, but it isn't. It's a perspective distortion because the pylons were further away from me when I took the picture.

I did put the above mentioned thin white border and also my copyright/initials, but other than that this is SOOC.

This is an interesting plant. The yellow flower, sort of pod looking things start out as kind of yellow-green, then open to yellow, and then somehow become like bluish/purplish little grapes. The leaves have sort of sharp little points like holly, but not as severe, perhaps, and they turn red and green and brown. I don't think the tiny grape parts are known for being edible, but they are pretty and they are the State Flower of Oregon, USA
San Francisco is famous for its fog, and there is some of it in the left hand corner of this image, which by the way, my son took. And don't faint but several years ago, he actually helped to build this fence. I have to ask him if this is the exact one he helped to construct, or just one like it.
This is at the Kezar Triangle Park, about 2nd & Lincoln.

The trees and the river are in Lane County, Oregon, USA. It is still Tuesday night over here. Hope this is OK.
Please let it load for 1 or 2 seconds more than you normally do for most images. Often, it will get more clear.

Bob the Cat to be more precise. I haven't yet bought any plants for my planter; so Bob found his way in there for a nap. Bob is a neighbor's cat, actually sort of a community cat.

This is not a composite of two types of plants. I don't know the name of the smaller leafed plant on top, but it was hanging above the rhododendron leaves, both heavily laden with raindrops. The rhodies make me a bit mindful of avocados. My Samsung phone has quite a few photo techniques that are post-processing choices. I like the starburst choice, thus the green leaves are very real, but the reddish, orangish and yellowish ovals are not.
This is Fall Creek, Lane County, Oregon and Autumn will begin 4 days after I took this picture. I couldn't fit all that in my title (grin).
For ADMIN of: Exhibited or Sold Works: GIVE DETAILS or YOU'RE OUT, part of this image was used as the cover/banner image for the group/pool called, "If You Like Paintings; digital paintings of your NATURE photos.

This began life as a real photo I took yesterday. The sun had just about gone to sleep for the night, and some light rain clouds were creeping in. I gave it some saturation, not gobs of it, but some, and I gave the whole image a watercolor technique. It is best viewed large to see that effect.
If you beg and plead a little bit, I might show the original photo which I took from my truck. I don't mean the photo was lying in the cab of my truck and I stole it. I mean I was seated in the driver's seat (where I normally drive from) and put the window down and used my camera to take this picture. We used to say "rolled the window down" and now I wonder, do we say "pushed the window down?"

You could say living under water didn't set well with Miss Chicken. Even some of her eggs were looking deformed.

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. There are no comments required, although most people like to receive them. Using my word and trying my new group are not inclusive of one another.

A note to my viewers...my verse may seem like a total downer, but it ends with optimism. Some of you left a fave before I added the verse at about 6:30 a.m. on Thursday, May 17, 2018 so if you find the subject too heavy or distasteful I would understand if you want to remove your fave.
A bed of lush green ferns would be my chamber
If tears were dew and memories' remainder.
The hovering cloud of suicide would bring rain to stir their growth,
And living things would bring me life, or love, or both.

Well darn it. I had this in the ABCs and 123s group for all of about 2 minutes and realized, while I had it there for H is for Hanna Bridge or Hanna Covered Bridge, that my artistic rendering of this bridge did not show the name of it on the sign. In the process of posting this one and then removing it, I somehow lost my description. I will try to see if I can reconstruct it. Evening of February 12, 2022
He is a looker! 7 year old boy cat, mostly black but some burnt orange that fairly glows. He seemed quite friendly.

Filberts are also called Hazelnuts and they are the State Nut of Oregon.

I put these two sunset and silhouettes shots together in my Comparison & Resemblance (album) because I'm hoping my viewers will tell me if they prefer the one with more saturation or less saturation. I'd tell you which one I prefer, but I don't want to influence anyone (not yet anyway).

For Dave C. and other Flickr friends, The pylon part didn't really go in the song, but they are the *soul* and the most REAL part of this photo.
There was no fire (headlights on field of grasses and blackberries), and there was no rain (faux rainting water on my windshield). Trust me, this is Oregon, USA and there will be rain coming soon, really heavy super clouds full of it.
This is in the countryside near Fall Creek, a tiny town in Lane County, Oregon. It is so small that for a fire department they have six midgets with Water Pik.

The creek looks much bigger and stronger than the McKenzie River, but that is just a perspective distortion because I was much closer to the creek than the river when I took this picture.
