With a softer focus or blur effect I find that I pay more attention to shapes, patterns, and color. (From the series in my set: "Psychedelic Roses.")
I know you all think I was running down the road at 90 miles per hour but sorry to disappoint this was taken through the windscreen and I wasnt driving ! ;)

This is a still picture of the organ pipes at the church at Chideock Manor. The church was completed in the late 1800s for the families of the Manor who were staunchly Catholic.
It’s a pretty little church and the painted pipes on the organ attracted my interest. I posted an ICM shot of them yesterday. This is the straight edit of the organ and a version for Sliders Sunday which has been suitably mangled with all sorts of filters in Nik Color Efex.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x and Sliders Sunday :)
.... Tomorrow is our daughter Catherine's birthday and so I thought I'd try out my new (and illegal LOL !!) AmeriColors on her birthday cake !
This is going to be taken up to London tomorrow together with some cupcakes (about to be made) by a friend of hers. She has been told she must not look on flickr until tomorrow on pain of death!
The main idea of the design is taken from Debbie Brown's " 60's Love" wedding cake and I must say I did not find the split colour covering very easy to do. Normally I would say with decorations that "less is more" .... but in this case "more" was essential to hide a multitude of sins !!! ;o)) LOL
The green has not photographed quite true to colour and I can't rectify it in iPhoto but those of you who have "Electric Green" will know what colour it should be!
Here are the details :

I'll post the cupcakes tomorrow.

I just couldn't leave this little face alone. I snapped a pic in the process of putting her together then suddenly...I had this idea. Of turning her into a RAINBOW GODDESS OF GOODNESS AND CANDY. I am mad but this was really fun. :p

No, I hadn’t been taking LSD! This is one that went wrong.
An illuminated tram suddenly appeared, I wanted to get motion blur but didn’t have time to change my settings so I panicked and went into a psychedelic trance!
Couldn’t wait for another tram to come along as the fish and chips were beckoning.
Warning: wear sunglasses if you hit the L button. ;)

Some Big Apple psychedelica as we wind down 2008 as viewed from Jersey City, NJ. Was surprised as well to get some star trails intermixed in this very long exposure.
Please view on black and large:
As if the natural processes taking place to beautify our deciduous trees at this time of year were not enough, we have the work of these tiny artists, the Aspen leaf miners, diminutive worms which leave these tracks as they suck out the juices of the aspen and alder leaves. They have infested a vast area near the Yukon / Alaska border in recent years. They don't kill the trees, but definitely affect arboreal complexions. As the leaves go through their annual fall transformation, the evidence of their feeding that these tiny beasts leave behind lends a wild, almost unreal aspect to many areas of deciduous woodland.
I digitally created this abstract image using my photo of some Crocus. You can still see a few Crocus.
Light-painting. Usei um tubo de uma velha lâmpada florescente com papel alumínio e uma lanterna simples. Depois editei no Ps.
Explored 21st July 2008.
Rescued this poor snail from my daughter..of course I had to take a pic first!
No animals were harmed during the making of ths pic!

The Beatles recorded "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" in March 1967. The song has been recognised as a key work in the psychedelic genre.
It was written primarily by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon–McCartney songwriting partnership. Lennon's son Julian inspired the song with a nursery school drawing that he called "Lucy – in the sky with diamonds". Shortly before the album's release, speculation arose that the first letter of each of the title nouns intentionally spelled "LSD". Lennon repeatedly denied that he had intended it as a drug song. He attributed the song's fantastical imagery to his reading of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland books.
John Lennon said that his inspiration for the song came when his three-year-old son Julian showed him a nursery school drawing that he called "Lucy – in the Sky with Diamonds", depicting his classmate Lucy O'Donnell. Julian later recalled: "I don't know why I called it that or why it stood out from all my other drawings, but I obviously had an affection for Lucy at that age. I used to show Dad everything I'd built or painted at school, and this one sparked off the idea." Ringo Starr witnessed the moment and said that Julian first uttered the song's title on returning home from nursery school. Lennon later said, "I thought that's beautiful. I immediately wrote a song about it."
According to Lennon, the lyrics were largely derived from the literary style of Lewis Carroll's novel Alice in Wonderland. Lennon had read and admired Carroll's works, and the title of Julian's drawing reminded him of the "Which Dreamed It?" chapter of Through the Looking Glass, in which Alice floats in a "boat beneath a sunny sky". Lennon recalled in a 1980 interview: It was Alice in the boat. She is buying an egg and it turns into Humpty-Dumpty. The woman serving in the shop turns into a sheep and the next minute they are rowing in a rowing boat somewhere and I was visualizing that.
Paul McCartney remembered of the song's composition, "We did the whole thing like an Alice in Wonderland idea, being in a boat on the river ... Every so often it broke off and you saw Lucy in the sky with diamonds all over the sky. This Lucy was God, the Big Figure, the White Rabbit." He later recalled helping Lennon finish the song at Lennon's Kenwood home, specifically claiming he contributed the "newspaper taxis" and "cellophane flowers" lyrics. Lennon's 1968 interview with Rolling Stone magazine confirmed McCartney's contribution.
Rumours of the connection between the title of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and the initialism "LSD" began circulating shortly after the release of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band LP in June 1967. McCartney gave two interviews in June admitting to having taken the drug. Lennon later said he was surprised at the idea the title was a hidden reference to LSD, countering that the song "wasn't about that at all", and it "was purely unconscious that it came out to be LSD. Until someone pointed it out, I never even thought of it. I mean, who would ever bother to look at initials of a title? ... It's not an acid song."
McCartney confirmed Lennon's claim on several occasions. In 1968 he said: When you write a song and you mean it one way, and someone comes up and says something about it that you didn't think of – you can't deny it. Like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," people came up and said, cunningly, "Right, I get it. L-S-D," and it was when [news]papers were talking about LSD, but we never thought about it.
In a 2004 interview with Uncut magazine, McCartney confirmed it was "pretty obvious" drugs did influence some of the group's compositions at that time, including "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", though he tempered this statement by adding, "It's easy to overestimate the influence of drugs on the Beatles' music."
