You could be forgiven for thinking that this lovely specimen of a flower is head and shoulders more beautiful than it's neighbours. In fact though I've given it a bit of a helping hand on that front. I was playing around with some coloured plastic sheets that I have and sometimes use for photography. So what you are seeing here is a yellow tinted sheet held directly behind the subject flower which has the double effect of blurring the background and at the same time changing the colour of it.

*Working Towards a Better World
Yesterday I was very sad to read that the LEAVE Europe votes won, personally I feel that it is a big mistake. We need more UNITY not exclusion! What a mess, but life must go on and so it will!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕
A small section of the longest fence in the world. Australia's 5,300 kilometre long Dingo Fence. This section follows the border between New South Wales and Queensland on the road to Cameron Corner.
Happy Fence Friday
There is, just this little patch of snow on the hillside. Damn. If I had only seen that when I was taking the shot.
When I first really noticed dragonflies around 2005, it was because of one large bright red (really orange) one that seemed to rule the swamp. They would fly at great speeds (well, up to 35 mph) patrolling their overlapping territories which covered two-thirds of the lake.
For awhile it seemed I was taking photos of Flame Skimmers to the exclusion of every other species (until competition from Widow Skimmers), but their numbers were only part of the reason. The other was that they perched perfectly on blades of water grasses, at the very end of a branch, or atop my favorite, the Horsetail Grass which has a matching evolutionary period of 330 million years! If that doesn't gain your interest, well, then I'll just count myself lucky enough to discovered them in the first part of the digital age.

The Quest for Wisdom: Shattering the Chains of Self Exclusion. A striking female portrait, her piercing gaze reflecting isolation and awakening. Expression blends quiet determination with fragile vulnerability. Muted yet rich palette deep indigos, warm ochres, soft golds mirrors her emotional complexity, as shadows of doubt yield to self discovery. Brushstrokes capture tension between confinement and freedom. Composition draws the eye inward along subtle curves of her posture, hinting at invisible barriers being dismantled. Bold yet nuanced a manifesto of resilience, a visual ode to reclaiming one's voice, space, and place in the world, challenging viewers to confront self imposed limits and celebrate the courage to transcend them.

Daisy Tree.
Well, there was I messing around with Affinity on the iPad late one evening (should have been tucked up)...
... and I came across the Apply Image filter which I’d not had occasion to use before so I thought I'd give it a try with whatever jpeg I could find on the ‘paddle. I had been working on a double-trunked tree image with some hope of a monochrome, and the image I found was of a shasta daisy that I had published before.
And the combination was really quite interesting, especially in Exclusion blend mode. What fun.
So here it is, with a few extra tweaks but nothing majorly different from the basic Apply Image/Exclusion effect. I guess that the blend mode is doing most of the work here and the filter itself very much depends on the images you choose. Miss Serendipity was her most alluring and generous self.
This is just a quick one for Sliders Sunday then, as I don’t have time for much else today alas. I’ll post the in-camera images linked in the first comment so that you can see where it all started...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday :)
