Not a very exciting bird but I love the colours in this image. Taken in Thule Bay on Stewart Island near the end of a long walk (well, long for me carrying my big lens). Such lovely colour saturation in New Zealand sometimes.

Premier Inn Blackfriars Staircase, this time seen from below. I increased the saturation of the blues a tad because i liked the colourcombination blue-brown.
sometimes just darkening a image makes the colors pop more than sliding the saturation scale up a few notches
I am looking forward to getting out again on a hike. This was last summer at Boulder River where nature saturated the water turquoise blue.
Happy Saturated Saturday!

A bit of bubble play :-)
Having fun with new fangled bubble making hand-held bubble makers. I took heaps of photos and some came out :-)
I've also just inserted the last one in this series ('4. the End is Nigh') in my photo-stream after 'worlds within' - there's a link in the comments.

Homily012923- Mt 5:1-12a
“Christ died for all, so that those who live should not live for themselves, but for him who died for them” (2 Corinthians 5:15)
We hear the beatitudes quite often. We are taught them in our catechism classes, and we frequently hear them read at Mass. They are as familiar as milk in the fridge, but what are they? Technically, they are eight blessings that make up the Sermon on the Mount given by Jesus. They articulate simply the reward for a good action-a right choice. For example, there is a common phrase “that it is better to give then receive.” The proof of this statement is found in the action of giving. It is a choice, that begins with a “yes” to do it. Why else do parents surprise their children with gifts on Christmas morning. The blessings of the beatitudes work in a similar way. When we say “yes” to Jesus, to follow him and HIS way, the stage is set to receive the blessings. It is as simple as that. Of course, what sounds straightforward and easy, is never like that in reality.
The word beatitude comes from the word beatidudo which is Latin for blessedness. Each beatitude begins with the phrase “blessed are” which implies a state of peace, happiness and well-being. In Christ’s day it would have a meaning of “divine joy and perfect happiness. In addition there is an implied reward that all would be well in the future. Jesus’ intent is to bring a bit of the Kingdom of God on earth.
The action, on our part, is the decision to do a good thing, which comes first. Disciples of Christ understand this well.
When we say “Yes” to God, a space opens up in time…and a mystery unfolds in each and every moment of our lives. It is in this place that we have the potential to experience what our Gospel declares to us today. It is a unique experience for each of us. In our YES, in our experiencing and doing what Jesus does, we experience the “peace beyond understanding” which is the fruit of the Beatitudes. When we are given these graces, we recognize them…and ponder them in our heart.
Recently, I have read a book, called “Icon of Trust-Mary in the Gospels of Luke and John.” It follows Mary from her initial “Yes” and the many “Yes’s” flowing from her life as she shadows her Son.
“Mary’s childlike trust consists in giving a full yes to God — without knowing everything this yes implies. This complete yes is full of trust, not of detailed knowledge of what is to come.” “In front of God, she demonstrates the vigilance of someone ready to be surprised.”Mary is attentive, she is ready to say yes, and she is docile and humble in “ acknowledging the things she does not know and in trying to understand better the things she has already perceived and experienced; she is the perfect collaborator of God in the unfolding of His plan of salvation.”
I can remember my first “yes” to God. Since that first “yes”, I have learned that daily life consists of many yes’s. With each and every decision I make, big or small…that first “yes” becomes the context of all the yes’s that follow. My Christian walk, has been to follow Jesus. His gift of grace, which includes a peace beyond understanding, has accompanied me in the good and bad times of my life. In reflecting on my life, I can say that I have been blessed.
Brian Zahnd, a Christian author….paraphrases the beatitudes this way…
Blessed are those who are poor at being spiritual,
For the kingdom of heaven is well-suited for ordinary people.
Blessed are the depressed who mourn and grieve,
For they create space to encounter comfort from another.
Blessed are the gentle and trusting, who are not grasping and clutching,
For God will personally guarantee their share when heaven comes to earth.
Blessed are those who ache for the world to be made right,
For them the government of God is a dream come true.
Blessed are those who give mercy,
For they will get it back when they need it most.
Blessed are those who have a clean window in their soul,
For they will perceive God when and where others don’t.
Blessed are the bridge-builders in a war-torn world,
For they are God’s children working in the family business.
Blessed are those who are mocked and misunderstood for the right reasons,
For the kingdom of heaven comes to earth amidst such persecution.”

Conclusion
Often, in our Christian walk, we struggle to find words to articulate to others why we have found our way of life purposeful and meaningful. The beatitudes are a beautiful display of of proverbs that describe beautifully what the state and outcome of living a sacrificial life is. This way of life begins when we invite Jesus into our hearts. It is not an easy life living as a Christian in the world today. But the peace, we hold in our hearts is worth every right choice we make to follow HIM. The rewards are experienced by us in this life and the life to come.
Ah, you lucky ladies and lads with your shots in the underground metro stations of major cities, all shooting surreal images of passing rail cars and throngs of passengers...but fear not, Fergal shows that with the right amount of saturation, contrast, and other Lightroom gimmickry, even he can turn a passing train in remote Foxford, west Ireland into an urban nightmare worthy of Hipstergram.
Westcreek, CO - Took the Jeep out and hit some trails to see the amazing colors of Fall here in Colorado. In true Colorado fashion soon after this picture was taken the weather changed dramatically to cold windy and cloudy. This trail on Forest Road 347 was a fantastic ride!

Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise. Nik Color Efex Pro to boost color and contrast.

Eltz castle, low clouds are attracted to this spot like flies to shit, thus the colors were a bit muted, so I "may" have boosted the saturation up to insane levels.
Happy Macro Monday Theme : Bottle(s)
I was wondering about the letters and numbers on a bottle - They are mold numbers. So if they have a problem with the bottle they can eliminate that mold.

This photograph represents how these colors actually appeared. Very minimal adjustment was made in Lightroom. I don't think I have ever seen a flower with colors this intense.
For this week's Macro Mondays theme "Brush" I've done a series of brushes that cover the subject ... detail is paramount for me, I hope you like them?
Eufaula lake...Pittsburg County Oklahoma. I purchased a new printer a few weeks back and I am currently trying to learn how to process my photos in order to make the best possible print. It is amazing how the little things affect overall print quality. Sharpening, noise control, saturation, etc. all have a major effect on print quality. I am quickly realizing that quality printing is an art form itself.
It is exciting to see my photos come to life as a beautiful 20X30 inch prints....some of them really do look amazing. I still have lots to learn when it comes to processing and printing images but I am determined to get better at both!!
I originally posted this shot in black and white. The calm conditions and the contrails made for a unique sunset so I decided to upload the color version as well. Thanks for looking and hope you all have a great week!!
