Brickworks, Toronto, Canada.
That year the fall was very “slow”. I visited Brickworks many times trying to track its development and the change. On one morning things just came together. There was a bit of morning fog, the early sunlight was gentle and there were still few leaves which contrasted nicely with the yellowed grasses.
It was a soft gray day near the California coastal town of Montera. A field of agapanthus were looking quite grand as they flaunted their colorful flowers against the gun metal gray of the ocean. A trifecta of artists were diligently working, attempting to capture the landscape on their easels. I felt a little guilty about how easy it was for me to memorialize the scene with my camera, while the artists had to work so hard. I'm guessing none of them saw it as hard work at all. Sure wish I could paint a lick.

Two students from the Kansas City Art Institute find a quiet garden spot at the Nelson Atkins Art Museum. . .
All elements either photographed or made by me except fish which were a freebie from photoshop creative.
Blessed is the water
in the stone fountain
and blessed be the light
on the water and the hymn
of the city rising and falling
as lights change, as cars wait
and pedestrians walk, as walkers
wait and taxis lurch, go-slow-stop,
shamrock green, amber, bloody
crimson, bike courier cruising,
metro bus, delivery trucks and
whose dog has shed his leash
and what of the baby rat
at the trash buffet and here
is the one-armed gimme gimme
man at his office under the awning,
his empty can clinking if it's payday
as passersby try not to notice
and pass by, but the busker
with his toy ukulele is strumming
up business, scatting in tongues,
jive talking to himself as if he
is light years away from 5th Ave,
center city, Madison Gardens
not so square anymore, the day
losing its luster: so turn up
the pzazz a little, tweak
the backbeat, praise the pigeon
choir flocking down to perform,
Alleluia, Alleluia.

Seen and photo'd at a small car show in Wisconsin. Applied several painterly effects blended together.

A little farm scene that caught my eye...a tall windmill, several fences, outbuildings...could you ask for anything more?
Today I have been experimenting with taking painterly photos, but I have been struggling to get the aperture low enough so the results aren't quite what I was expecting.

Mornings in the Fall of the year are the most beautiful to me. I love all the color and the wispy clouds that drift in the early hours of the day. Now I have to figure out how to keep getting myself out of bed so I can get out there.
Thanks for stopping by
I went out early this morning in my yard and shot over 100 clicks and deleted most.. I am so obsessed! The Mosquitoes are doing well!
Miss Zidi Wu
from Chongqing
poses stiffly
at military attention
before the beast
to memorialize
the moment
she will only half-recall
later for her parents
who only leave their village
to sell vegetables
at the moonlight market,
while her classmates
who await their turn
for their photo
will not notice her
step to the side
and quietly
begin to cry

From this angle this looks like a normal v hull boat, but it is flat bottomed and straight across the front. I took this in Eastpoint, FL, once home to a large fleet of oyster boats. Now they are a rare sight.
I processed this picture in Photoshop and textured it using Lenabem-Anna J’s texture 168 and one other texture.
