When it's a blustery day along any coastal town in Alaska - what is more fun than poking into all of the local artisan shops, and finding that unique item to take home and treasure. After the shopping is done - you then pop into a local eatery for your favorite brew (Alaska Amber for me) and an order of fish and chips straight from the icy waters that surround our beautiful state.

The challenge in this image was creating enough RGB noise to blend in the lotus leaf with the background texture (grain).

With all that's happening in Russia/Ukraine, I am praying for peace! We are all here for a very short time, why so much killing and hatred? It's quite sad 😥.

Have a peaceful Sunday dear friends.

Neighbors' treetop captured using 500 IR filter, then processed in Photoshop, and finally modified using Topaz Studio 2 filters to produce a more painterly effect.

I was playing around with "metals" for theme for another group - when I veered off course - and ended up with my aluminum watch bezel looking like a space craft. So here it is posted for "Sliders Sunday".

HSS! to all of my "Slider" friends!

(A mind is a terrible thing to waste, especially when combined with cabin fever. Hahaha!)

I found this little dead leaf still hanging on an alder tree near our cabin. With all of the wind we have had recently - I don't know how it hung on. While a dead leaf is not necessarily a thing of beauty - with a little Photoshop work he looked a bit more pleasing to the eye.

I was recently standing along a back road here in Alaska, taking in the beauty of spring. Leaves were popping out around me - beautiful snow covered mountains surrounded me - and the sun was warm on my shoulders - when suddenly . . . (with great fanfare and much squawking) - two Canadian Geese settled down not far from where I stood. After their long flight, I think they were in need of some rest, and maybe a long drink from one of the many ponds that dot our vast wilderness.

Another ethereal cool blue ripple with a cartoony digital artifact playing with the way we always seem to see faces when there's nothing there, . . . :D

This image started as just another clear day shot of an arriving ship when... inspiration struck and the mood changed somewhat.
