Thank you all for your kind comments, favs and views. much appreciated.
Living on the water as I do, I have the great pleasure of observing dragonflies from early spring through late fall in their many diverse shapes, colors and forms. A traditional symbol of transformation and adaptability in life in many cultures, I find them remarkable and wonderfully valuable companions as they accompany me both on land and water, always seemingly intent on keeping more annoying flying creatures at bay. There is something quite magical when a dragonfly chooses to land on your hand or shoulder...a rare experience, but one almost spiritually energizing when it occurs. They never fail to captivate me nor gain my appreciative attention.
Their numbers are dwindling now as we move into fall, the "late varieties" now enjoying their moment in the sun. I've come to know the various species and when in the season they typically arrive, eagerly anticipating that first sighting as if awaiting a prodigal. They are my friends and I already miss them.

Still finding small satisfaction in creative macro processing, I nevertheless continue to try, this mono texturized effort as a lead, followed by a color version and the SOOC in comments. The effort here was prompted by what you'll agree was a rather dull background in the original. I must admit I am still awaiting that "wow" reaction I get when looking at some of your efforts. [Definitely better larger]
I thought just taking a photo of white paper for tonights Macro Monday theme of "just white paper" would be pretty easy but 70 shots and three hours later I've settled with this one!

The Rose Of Lady Catherine by Daniel Arrhakis (2016)
With the music :Enya - Only Time Lyrics
After the music play Lady Catherine approached to the piano and saw an old jewel and a dark blue velvet rose.
- My favorite roses! - She said with an incredulous voice but still not rebuilt from that strange moment ...

We are all stars in the moonlight
Dreams that are going and coming
Day of the days new and bright
Voices in winter evening humming
Life is a call and its many dreams
The flowers in bouquets on glowing
Magnet fields of passion schemes
Each on its go round and on going

Still hiding from the grey stuff, I had a second go with some oil and water but just ended up getting myself all oiled up and slippery.
But I'm being creative. Carpet cleaning tomorrow.
You don't like this do you? It's got to be landscapes hasn't it, or birds, or trains....Lego.....damned, bloody Lego.
Sick.
