Playing with a BW conversion and ended up being drawn to this....Comments will be very helpful.....

Experimental Aircraft usually means a home built one of a kind, this was a very sharp airplane, note the sun shade in the cockpit area it gets hot in there.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

Abstract Experiments in Photoshop

This is just a montage of images put together just to see how they came out, using Photoshop filters. Abstracts, shadows, lights and shapes in a square format. This is the second posting of the series.

Tulip bulb begins to unfurl in May 2014 at our home in Alaska. Despite having the warmest past three months on record, we have only small signs of spring.

Some amazing old world charm architecture can be found at The Canadian Expermental Farm here smack in the middle of Ottawa, Canada! The green dome is the observatory.

My first attempt at “Art from a blank canvas”. I purchased a new iPad today, and I found this really cool app called “Procreate”. There’s sooo much to do on it I swear it’s just like photoshop. Anyways...I’ve been playing with my new toys all day...and I want to learn how to create “AFABC”. It’s a completely new style of art for me...so like the title says...it’s experimental...

A foggy afternoon had presented itself, and needed to be photographed.

Flowers and items on top of my bookshelf. Just wanted to be a bit different with this image.

OK. It's February. But in 2050 summer might look like this.

First time with steelwool

我们生命的图景犹如胡乱拼凑的图画，近看粗陋，要想显得美，只能远观。这就是为什么所求之物一旦获得即觉空虚，这就是为什么尽管我们一生都在希求更好的事物，同时也经常对过去恋恋不舍。相反，现时被认为是暂时的，只是通往目的的途径。因此，大多数人回首一生时都会发现，自己一直活在过渡状态，他们吃惊地看到，他们放手的正是自己的生命，正是他们生活中期望的东西。

This year has been particularly smokey in southeast Utah. Fires belching smoke from California, Arizona, Colorado, and within Utah have kept us indoors several days. Last night as we drove in to Moab for groceries and pears to can, we noticed a fire crawling up the side of South Mountain, 3 miles from our house. It wasn't raging and the wind was fairly calm coming from the southwest which was a good sign. It was also burning up an alluvial fan that burned 7 years ago so there wasn't much fuel. There are still some smoke coming from the steep canyons, but no active fire is visible. I am thankful for my husband who has worked tirelessly the last couple of years to chop and mow a defensible space around our house amidst the dry, dry grasses and sagebrush. Sending out a global hug to all those who have been impacted by the disasters of flood, fire, earthquakes, and disease.
