Still groggy so not able to get out much. Never mind; I still have photographs from last summer and earlier this year to process ! This Montana Clematis cascades over our garden fence in trails of delicate pinky- mauve flowers, filling the air with a subtle musky perfume. A glorious sight, also very nice to leave the patio doors open so that its' scent wafts into the house.
And, no hanging over the neighbours' walls and fences to take the photograph - Just for a change lol !
Edit Thanks everyone for all your kind compliments, faves and invites, apparently this one made Explore - Thanks to Denis Collette ... !!! for spotting it :)

"So what's with this winter weather, Larry?" Even though we're all weary of the snow and cold, there's a winter storm warning in effect for the area which will make life difficult for a couple more days.
The Observer Effect: refers to changes that the act of observing will make on the phenomenon being observed.
Is this a self-portrait? The capture of the shadow of a tree?
Whatever it is, I like it so I'm sharing it.
And it's HDR.
Sometimes I like to jazz-up a pic purely to make it somewhat different to the norm. Roses are always beautiful 'au naturelle' but I liked the impact of the colourful effect on this one.
My go to post processing is usually done with Paintshop Pro , but I used 'Smart Photo Editor' for this pic. They have hundreds of instant artistic effects to choose from, which themselves can be altered/ adjusted to your own taste. They are effects that have been submitted by the site's users. It's great fun and gets the creative juices flowing.
That's what i was immediately reminded.
I later saw on flickr, that i wasn't the only one who though about that title ;)
My views somehow go crazy today... This one got over a 1000 views in a few seconds. What's up flickr?
When you paint with watercolour and add salt on it while the paint is still wet, this is the effect you will get. It made me smile when I saw that and had to capture it. I will go back tomorrow and attempt a macro shot with my point and shoot before it washes out by the rain. This is part of a bridge.

Golden Gate Park. Oddly for SF, this isn't fog. It's the water dropping off the trees from a rainbird.

"We often hear of “camera angles” (that is, those made by a guy who throws himself flat on his stomach to obtain a cetain effect or style), but the only legitimate angles that exist are those of the geometry of the composition."
-Henri Cartier-Bresson,
The wasps and broken glass aside this now decaying greenhouse is something straight from a fairy tale or a Disney movie, a terrific location to spend ones Saturday afternoon to be honest.
The greenhouse was built on the side of a large castle in Europe that is far from abandoned (although it sure looks like it from the outside). However out the back a German Shepard awaits you with its bare teeth.
For once I got to shoot a location with too much light as it poured in through the broken glass above, a rare treat in Urban Exploring. With the light came heat, shooting in a greenhouse certainly is a warming experience.
"Hummingbird Texture" by Patti Deters. This Ruby-throated Hummingbird (archilochus colubris) image was photographed in my own backyard in Minnesota. It kept trying to "eat" from from the frost-nipped leaf. I'm not sure what the attraction was - perhaps there was a small pool of water on the leaf that it was drinking. Several textures have been applied for artistic effect. If you like this image, please enjoy more at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/hummingbird-texture-patt....
This monochrome photograph showcases a collection of seashells arranged artistically against a dark background. The black and white tones emphasize the textures and patterns of the shells, highlighting their spiraling forms and the intricate lines that trace the growth of each shell.
The shells vary in size and shape, with some featuring elongated spires and others displaying more rounded, compact forms. Their placement in the composition seems intentional, creating a balance between the various shapes and directing the eye across the image. The play of light and shadow is masterfully captured, with the light source coming from the side, casting deep shadows and enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the shells.
The choice of black and white photography strips away the distraction of color, allowing the viewer to focus on the forms, lines, and textures that make each shell unique. The arrangement evokes a sense of natural symmetry and beauty, often found in objects sculpted by the sea. The overall effect is one of elegance and quiet beauty, inviting reflection on the wonders of the natural world.
Maybe a bit cliche, but the idea grabbed me and my son was (somewhat) willing. I first saw this effect used on Pink Floyd's Ummagumma album - released in 1969. I can't imagine how the photographer did it without the help of the computer programs we have today, but then again Pink Floyd always had cool album covers. The name Droste harkens back to the early 1900s when a company named Droste ran an advertisement of a woman carrying a tray with the product on it. Of course the product showed an ad of a woman carrying a tray with the product on it, and so forth.
