Spring Day by Daniel Arrhakis (2019)
With the music : Dvorak - Romance for piano and violin, Op.11
A composition made with photos of mine taken in Gameiro, Mora, Portugal. Three photos of a macro and two landscapes with a Victorian lady model modified from stock images.
The digital impressionist techniques were several with layering and color saturations for give the impressionist look of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The photo base for the background you may see here :

These are bare trees reflected in water with Ossier Dogwood branches in the foreground. I used a shallow DOF to get this effect as well as a bit of editing to soften the red branches to get this painterly abstract look. This look sums up the white, almost colorless spring we are having so far.
I bought some spring tulips for the house but have not had a chance to photograph them. The robins are all back and the birds are chirping. It is spring!
On a side note - The new year was supposed to get less busy with more time for fun and photography. But it has instead gotten very busy again.
And this weekend I am starting the process of migrating my information and more to a new desktop. I have a laptop, but it is only used for minor things. The desktop is where everything happens for work and photography. Over the last week I hit some back up snags. I am hoping that all will go alright. That will mean that I am not online and around for the next week or so as I complete the process.
It starts tomorrow morning.....wish me luck!
I know I said I was getting out of my coat, scarf, hat and gloves but it was so cold on this day in order to be outside I had to bundle up again...it felt like winter not spring!! HSS :))

"Out & About" today roaming around looking for signs of spring. This rural pond recreational area was a delightful sight with melting ice, blue sky and almost no snow! What a difference one week can make in the landscape!
It's been a VERY long winter in north Iowa, so these simple visual treats are a welcomed sight!

For Macro Monday theme 'Glaze'. A small portion of a Russian glazed/lacquered box. It's titled 'Spring' and the artist is Smirnova. The box is made of papier-mâché-mache. Several layers of pasted cardboard are boiled in linseed oil and repeatedly dried in a hot oven. This is as hard as wood, light and waterproof. It can be sawed, polished, primed and lacquered. It was made in the Russian school/village Fedoskino, which is the oldest Russian centre for lacquered miniature paintings. www.artrusse.ca/fedoskino_en.htm

With the arrival of spring, the Milky Way begins to be visible in the skies of Portugal at dawn, in this image, captured in Monsaraz, in the Alqueva´s Dark Sky Reserve, you can watch it in plenty, thanks to this mosaic of 21 images that allows a large field of view, revealing this “arm” of our galaxy above the Convent of Orada (dated 1670).
Near the center and right of palm trees, the moon shines brightly, although not interfering with the giant arc of the Milky Way where it is possible to distinguish a lot of constellations like Ursa Minor, with the polaris star to the left of the image, until the swan (Cygnus), with its North America nebula (NGC7000) clearly visible, down to the right, we still find the constellation of Sagittarius and Scorpio, with the brilliant super giant star, Antares.

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"

After a few weeks of spring winter has decided to come back and freeze all the fresh colors. So far, he has not succeeded, there is still color and life there, but what if winter's grip keeps holding on?
