There is just something about taking all the other colors away that really makes you see the flower.

These are some of those flower pictures I took when I went up to the Bay Area to visit my mom for her 95th birthday. There is just something about removing most of the color from an image that makes it interesting. So I am doing it.


Maybe that is what he meant to say. ‘All the best and smartest criminals’.
Also, can I just say: Best witch hunt ever!


He can’t have any nuclear missiles. He promised tRump that he was getting rid of them, right?

That, my friends, is just this…

I mean, it is just this with a special digital filter effect. But what, I hear some of you saying, is this? Well, that is a photo I took of this…

And that, for those of you who do not know, is a glass paperweight that I made in a glass blowing class I took a while ago. So, all I did was take lessons in blowing glass, make a paperweight, take some super-close-up-macro-photographs of the bubbles inside it, then put the photo in Photoshop and do multiple mirror images of part of it, and then use a filter on it from a free online program.

I tried a few other filters while I was in there.

I like that one. It looks like brain scan images.

And that one sort of reminds me of images from an airport security scanner looking into your luggage.

And I always like the fire filter. But I think the first one, the ‘groovy rainbow’ that shifts the colors, is the best.
Welcome to multimedia, crack squirrel edition.

Imagine tRump, sitting in the Oval Office, with no boot-licking lackeys in the House and Senate to back up his stupid ideas. He would just fume and rant and rave, powerless, waiting for his time to run down. This is the most important election in American history. Don’t sit it out.
VOTE!!!

I held back this one photo I took of the river in Yosemite valley on my recent adventure there. I don’t know why the water looks green and purple. It might just be a trick of the sunlight, shining through the smoke from the wildfires. But I do love that picture.
