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!

I don't know about everyone else... but, I have multiple versions of nearly everything I post on here.. So today I decided to post a couple.. why..?
A landscape format version of a photo I took recently of a skier at Alpe d'Huez in the French Alps.
Although it doesn't especially look like it, this is a full colour photo. I did do a b&w conversion but felt that this original colour one had more depth.
Quand Castres (la "petite Venise du Languedoc") revêt son habit de lumière pour se préparer à la longue nuit. L'origine de ces maisons date de la fin du XIIè, lieu de travail des tanneurs qui avaient besoin d'un point d'eau pour leurs activités.

L'Agout est une rivière affluent du Tarn, sous-affluent de la Garonne qui se jette dans l'Océan Atlantique.
Elle est bien sûr sujette à crues et les maisons ont les pieds dans l'eau, voire plus, en témoigne ce lien vers la crue de 1930, quand la rivière passait au desus du tablier du pont

Many ripples on the lake
See the patterns that they make
Tiny waves, see them ride
Across the water, deep and wide
An army of blue and grey
See them dance, see them play
A million ripples, that do make
Natures beauty invade the lake
