Original title “Working Girl” was inappropriate. Looked back at all my photos that year and asked myself what I liked best, and why. This is the type photo for a core theme—images resolving contradictions. In this case, order and chaos, as the woman cleans the window of a clock shop with a perfectly horizontal squeegee stroke in a sea of bubbles. Love her contemplative expression, and the clutter of urban reflections superimposed on the orderly interior of a Viennese clock seller.

An image from 3 years ago run through a simple and cheap paint app, PhotoArtista-Oil. This is one of an infinite variety possible on a single image. Great Fun. You can enlarge to see details of the 3 dimensional like look of the 'paint', and the brush strokes, and the app has numerous variations available.
It's always fun to play with a little motion blur with fall foiliage. To do this, I used a tripod and set a shutter speed of 0.5sec. I moved the camera vertically while pressing the shutter button. This kind of gives the impression of brush strokes.
I find you hidden behind the tree
Your hair it blows, so wild and free
Your eyes they sparkle and they shine
When your gaze, does meet mine
I stroke your face with my fingers
Its softness on my skin, it lingers
Our lips they meet, our tongues entwine
On your beauty , i now dine
I can't resist, your clothes ripped open
My passion aroused, it is woken
We fall urgently down to the ground
Where amongst the flowers is found
Insatiable desire, unstoppable lust
As our cries grow louder with every thrust
Of my passion , sliding deep within
Your nails tear savagely at my skin
Our bodes are shared, under the skies
Love is reflected in your eyes
My teeth they bite your tender skin
As i explore, i swim within
Your hidden lake, where i sow
My seeds of desire, the sun does glow
Down on our nakedness, under the tree
Where we share love, for all to see
I uploaded a shot of noisy miners having a great splash around in our bird bath last week. These shots are not technically great I know, I am limited by space and interfering objects from getting in close and it was one of those dash for the camera and hope something might work. No time for niceties. But I thought my bird loving flickr friends might like this shot of one of the noisys enjoying backstroke. How it got into that position I don't really know but they throw themselves into the whole bathing experience with such gusto, I guess anything can happen.
Thanks for everyone's comments on today's shots in advance. We have a very busy weekend attending to my in-laws relocation needs and I am not sure how much time I will have on flickr. Enjoy your weekend everyone, be safe friends and COVID free.

ich sah eine menge vögel am ufer eines sees sitzen und ich schlich mich leise an um sie zu fotografieren. die vögel waren aber sehr scheu und flogen als sie mich bemerkten sofort davon. meiner meinung nach ist der Radfahrer ein glücksfall für das Bild, aber ich sah ihn erst auf dem fertigen Foto...
i saw a lot of birds sitting on the shore of a lake and I crept softly to photograph them. the birds were very shy and when they saw me immediately flew away. in my opinion, the cyclist is a stroke of luck for the picture, but I saw him only in the finished photo...

With apologies to Georges Surrat. Surrat started a painting style called pointillism, also called divisionism and chromo-luminarism, in painting, the practice of applying small strokes or dots of color to a surface so that from a distance they visually blend together. "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" is his best known and largest painting he ever created on a canvas. It depicts people relaxing in a suburban park on an island in the Seine River called La Grande Jatte, a popular retreat for the middle and upper class of Paris in the 19th century.
Created using Bing AI with a bit of help from Photoshop and Redfield.

The distinctive hunting technique of pied kingfishers has earned the species a few records. Not only are they the largest hovering bird, but they are also the only kingfishers with the ability to perform a figure of eight wing stroke.
They hunt by hovering 50-65 feet above the water and then diving headfirst (or rather, bill-first) into the water. Pied kingfishers demonstrate spectacular speed and agility on the hunt.
The kingfisher bird’s black and white colors and hovering ability are their most distinctive qualities. You’ll often spot the pied kingfisher live in action, hovering over bodies of water.
Vary difficult to get an image as they fly past you so fast and I was standing in a boat. Amazing birds
Giant brush strokes of grey across a winter sky. The end of a short day with the bare trees and a church silhouetted against the skyline.
Ok..so I posted this just to tell a story.
So The Strokes were to perform a free show for fans as part of SXSW festivies but little did they know that the band would have the park at "capacity" and well beyond.Now I've seen people jumping fences at ACL,SXSW and many other places.But at a free show?Really?And I guess people tearing down fences at more than one spot obviously convinced officials(and APD) to simply step aside.It was an interesting scene.Today's score:the kids:1,the authorities:0.Kinda made me smile.

Only a few strokes... Like calligraphy and they usually don't touch, so that the negative space between the strokes communicates as much as the stroke it self... dig it?
Different strokes for different folks, everyone has their own outlook on life and liking the colours.
