This is a salmon colored daylily. The buds are yellow and the background above the bloom is blue. The original is beautiful but I've been wanting to try a little high key work so here it is.
Happy Sliders Sunday!!
....for the rest of us. ;o)

Happy Sliders Sunday
Kindness is like snow - it beautifies everything it covers.
My snowman in the backyard.
This is a flowering bush that I can’t remember the name. They look the same but not identical. My entry for Slider’s Sunday. Thank you for your visit, faves, and comments.Busy day, Nurse Ratchet here has to be in control and my friend has turned me in a monster. I don’t like people who’ve had major surgery and exceed the rule of recovery. Do listen to me!!!
Many of the eucalyptus trees are shedding their old bark before the summer, revealing smooth trunks beneath.

"The ICC Berlin – a spaceship for the future"
Another one from last September's open day at West Berlin's "spaceship", the now-closed former congress centre ICC. This huge light sculpture is the ICC's "heart", spanning several floors. It was created in 1979 by Frank Oehring and is called "The Brain". The Brain, while "just" a sculpture itself, is part of the ICC's control and guidance system and symbolizes the ICC's control centre. Oehring says, The Brain "is the symbol for this control centre, from which the entire building services are controlled. Connected to the light sculpture are electronic nerve cords that run through the entire building. The idea behind the light sculpture is that mental activity flows through the building, also symbolised in light."
This photo, which I took from the ICC's third floor, took me ages to process. Since the open day at the ICC was a one-of-a-kind event, the entire building was flooded with visitors, so I had to do a lot of people retouching because they were too distracting. I decided to leave a few of them in, though, to maintain a natural mood. I also used Luminar's "Magic Light" tool to repair the unattractive "light blobs" along the balustrade. The 7-14 mm lens is great but it sucks at light stars, and Magic Light helps to fix that by turning blobs into pleasing-looking light stars and so helps to smooth out one of the lens's biggest flaws.
Wishing you a happy weekend and see you on Sliders Sunday (which this image is for, too)!
A few Flickr folk may recognise these lovely teapots...answers on a postcard :)

I looked out the window the other day and this squirrel had his foot stuck.....so of course I had to take a picture which the camera was on a different setting and then I went out and took the broom and lowered the feeder and he wasn't happy but jumped around and his foot came loose and he took off so fast. Alls well that ends well and when I looked at the photo I thought good one for Sunday. So Happy SS. :)
