A close up view of this flower shows what appear to be paint strokes of white and yellow. It looks like the work of an artist, but it’s just the handy work of nature. Proving once again that beauty is ubiquitous!
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.

Taking in a Wintry Landscape at the Lake Agnes Teahouse. The original image I captured with my D800E Nikon SLR camera was a place in Banff National Park that I’d wanted to hike to see for many a year. All the hikes in the Lake Louise area that I’d been to the Plain of the Six Glaciers and teahouse, which is definitely amazing! That trip though, a friend and I hiked in the snow up to the Lake Agnes Teahouse and experienced a magical wintry but turning into Spring wonderland. That image can be found online here on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/markcstevens/23767483344/in/album-7...).
For the digital painting, this was done as a sketch, and then I added colors later in pencil, using Adobe Fresco app on my iPad Pro. I started out sketching how I wanted to lay this out, using the original image as a "scaffolding" to help me along. I considered doing the live brush oil painting brush in the Adobe Fresco app, but something drew me to try out pencils and seeing what I might be able to do with that, especially as the sketching was done with a pencil brush. I practiced many different styles and strokes in order to get that brush like look but not have it look like I was using a pencil.
A little right of center In the foreground of the digital painting, you'll find that stick figure image of me "hiking" with my Cubbies hat, truly loving my time exploring Alberta and Canada once again!
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.
A very rare sight - a sign at a former petrol/ gas station, promoting "Two Stroke Service". Having owned at least one two stroke motorcycle continuously for 46 years, I can't recall ever having seen a sign like this previously. I assume that it dates back to a time when the two stroke oil was mixed in the petrol tank. When I had my BSA Bantam I had to use that method but it meant I had to carry a bottle of oil round with me all the time. Presumably a service station offering this, removed the need to do this. Most people think of two stroke motorcycles but there have been a few cars, too. Saab, Wartburg etc (I can’t think of any others but there must be some).
More recently manufactured bikes with two stroke engines have a separate oil tank and a pump mixes the oil with the fuel - but saying that, there aren't too many mainstream large capacity two stroke bikes being made now because the general idea is that they are “dirty/‘orrible/noisy/smelly/unreliable” (delete or tick/check as appropriate) things.
