The title was constructed with the help of a title generator ;-). It seemed fittingly obtuse and surreal.

The Burberry building in Chicago is just stunning in my opinion, although it's apparently loathed by some Chicagoans ("...a boldly overdressed partygoer").
Inspired by Alan Walden!

A new species of ray was discovered yesterday swimming above a coral reef off the California coast. Scientists are flabbergasted at its bright yellow color that radiates even in the evening blue of the Pacific Ocean. The internet has already dubbed the creature a “Sunray” because of its astonishing resemblance to a sunflower, although its scientific name will probably have considerably more syllables.
Instead of the usual whip-like tail, this new species has a fan of petal-like extensions which the Sunray uses to help propel it through the water. It is not yet known how or where it mates since only one specimen has so far been found. Ichthyologists are searching for evidence of more of these rare creatures and hope to have additional information to impart in the near future. Stay tuned!

This is a composite of six photos of real buildings (or parts of them) which I shot at the amazing Hayden Tract in Culver City, California.
I have repositioned, distorted, painted and otherwise manipulated them not-quite-beyond recognition, but close. The parrot in the tire swing is, of course, complete fiction ;-).

On Dec. 4, 2016, I had the privilege of participating in a workshop called "Cameras and Dancers" where photographers were paired with dancers for the opportunity to shoot them in a myriad of poses. The location for the shoot was Union Station – a marvelous, historic building and the hub of Los Angeles's metro system.
The dancer in this image is Jacob Jonas.

CHEF BETH's theme is "Animal/Vegetable/Mineral/Abstract"! Here are the ingredients:
➤ Your image must be a pure, non-representational abstract.
➤ The source of your abstract must be a photo of a bird and/or a flower and/or a scissors (any one, two or all three).
➤ Your <b source photo(s) should not be recognizable (or only vaguely so) in the finished image.
➤ Be creative with your title which should convey the concept, composition and/or emotion of your abstract.
➤ You may use no other photos but the one, two or three noted above (though painting and other digital manipulation is fine).
My source was a photo of a flower.
