Homage to a dearly departed favorite artist. I will never see or hear the word "biomechanical" without thinking of his fantastic surreal work.
I worked on this collage of photos as well as the description (see the comment below) in 2020 when good health and I were not the best of friends.
I love to add a water filter effect at the bottom of my pictures. It automatically darkens the image but it also adds a little more illusion of a 3rd dimension to them. Then, if I like the way the water looks, I'll re-ripple the whole image with a very subtle ripple just to make the water look more real. Maybe I'm just attracted to the illusion of liquids at right angles to themselves (or maybe I've lived in Seattle for too long and simply fell under the spell of the rain and shoreline, . . .). :D
Here's another digital manipulation of the already abstracty concrete structures in downtown Seattle's Freeway Park (before the parks department pressure-washed all of the wonderful mossy green off of them, that is!)
And lately I’ve forgotten who I am
Need to let my energy just drain away
And now - my mind - is working overtime
It’s been a looong day
Such a long day, ay, ay -Amy Winehouse
I love old cars. They have so much more character than todays stamped out, look alike, motor vehicles. I was delighted to find these two old Fords in Haines Alaska.
I sure wouldn't want to be clipping along at 65 MPH and have this bird hit my windshield.
Wishing everyone a colorful week ahead.
I was putting the final touches to our breakfast, when I looked out of my kitchen window and noticed what looked like a large rock in the forest. Slowly the "rock" tuned its head in my direction. At that moment, something made me reach for my closest camera. In the blink of an eye, a snowshoe hare bolted out of nowhere, and straight into the jaws of the rather good sized Lynx. I captured its final moments before it was dragged off.
Flash ahead now to about mid-night of the same day . . . with our windows open for fresh air - I was awaken at precisely 12:00AM to the familiar screams of another snowshoe bunny, and the sounds of another hungry lynx as it silenced its prey.
A few minutes later - at 12:34 AM, I was just beginning to nod off when another snowshoe hare started screaming at the top of its lungs, accompanied by the familiar yips and barks of a coyote, as it snared its prey.
That was it for me. I tiptoed to the open window, and closed it for the night. After a day that began with a killing, and then ended with two more - this girl needed some sleep.
I am one of those strange people that really enjoys a rainy day - which made it easy for me when I lived in southeast Alaska.
*Each bloom on this little Alaskan wildflower measures 1/4 of an inch. It is so delicate, I cannot understand how it endures our bitterly cold winters.
Fun,

We had just dropped down a very steep hill as we headed into Palmer Alaska, when at a very busy intersection, this old gentleman was headed up hill, on the wrong side of the road, and in a turn lane as well. I shuddered to think what could happen to him, and wondered if he ever got home safely.
I rarely do an HDR - but in this image, it made that bright pink tricycle just pop.
Drive safe everybody - your grandpa might be out playing in traffic on a three wheeler.
I can't stop at a "simple" ripple (often with multiple re-iterations). I also can't resist the impulse to add extra, complimentary, and/or contrasting color by adding a run through with a "scattered tiles" filter. It shatters the image into overlapping squares and allows me to choose the colors between the tiles. It sometimes looks great on its own and it sometimes requires more rippling to get the full benefit. I add it like a spice to give an angular contrast to the rippled curves.
