I decided to do a few more versions of this photo I took, the close up of a small succulent plant…
Once again, I am just using that free online program called: Lunapic.com. The animation at the top is called: groovy rainbow.
There is also one called: kaleidoscoper!
It is fun, easy to use, and free.
And you can use it on any of your own photos!
Just make sure they aren’t huge files, or it takes a while.
Try the neon filter.
And then make it glow!
I have been trying to wrap my head around the latest developments in the many investigations involving tRump and the people who surround him like sad little moons pulled into the orbit of a gaseous giant pseudo-star.
I think, in a weird way, that the most amusing outcome from all of these investigations would be if everyone tRump knows or is related to, all end up in prison, while he somehow remains unconvicted… yes, spell checker, I know unconvicted isn’t a word, but it should be. It sums up the man nicely. Because he has no convictions whatsoever.
I have been trying to come up with a succinct name for the assclown circus posse that have aligned themselves with tRump. Here are a few of my ideas.
The asshole of evil- based loosely on the axis of evil. Although this is confusing, because it sounds more like it focuses on tRump himself, and not his followers.
The sphincter of life- which is like the circle of life, but this also suffers from the same problem as my first idea.
The grime syndicate- and why isn’t there a good comedy TV series about an organized crime family… I mean, besides the news?
The refilled swamp- now with 78% more slime.
Future Federal Inmates Anonymous- a self-help group.
But maybe the one I came up with earlier, whilst rambling my way to this point in the post, sums it up best…
Assclown circus posse- how many assclowns can we fit into a 6 X 9 cell?
Is that a small fragment of a famous painting by Vangogh? Sort of. That is what happened when I took this image…
Which is a macro close up photo I took of some small succulent plants, and used an artistic filter on. I did a few more as well…
There is the same image, if painted by Gauguin.
That is Rembrandt’s version.
That is how Escher would sketch it.
And that is Picasso’s interpretation.
Just the fact that religious zealots who always talk about family values and the sanctity of marriage… you know… like that Pence guy… are still standing behind tRump, pretty much says it all. I guess, as long as the ‘president’ is still against abortion, gun control, and foreigners, he is good to go.
That is a sunset, as seen from where I spend most of my evenings, guarding a gate at an exclusive private community.
When I am not busy taking calls and letting cars in, I have two giant video monitor screens full of smaller screens, showing live video from multiple security cameras, that I am supposed to keep my eyes on. It was dark outside, I glanced up, and there was a giant ghost spider dancing on one of the small windows. Scared the snot out of me.
I should have expected it sooner or later. There are spider webs in a few of the video camera housings. But I didn’t expect it then.
Kaleidoscope it…
Or kaleidoscope animate it…
Make it neon…
Or animate it with crazy colors…
Swirl it…
Water color it…
Turn it into smoke…
Or turn it into fire…
It’s still just a close up photo of a knothole in my fence.
Is it a picture of some strange corner of the universe, taken through the Hubble telescope?
Is it a model of the human brain made with neon lights?
Is it a sketch of a piece of gold in a gold miner’s pan? (That might actually be a hint, by the way).
Is it just some small part of a painting done a by a surrealist?
Is it one of the rings of power, being forged in Mordor?
Is it part of the crazed dream of a mad man? (I mean, obviously, everything on my blog falls into that category… but… still).
Is it a vision of hell?
Or, possibly, just a hint of an acid trip?
It is all those things and more. But mostly, it is a close up photo of a small chunk of fools gold that I found on one of my travel adventures, put through some artistic filters.
What the heck is that, I hear you wondering.
And it is a very good question to wonder to yourself.
Congratulate yourself for yourselfs fine wondering!
I, myself, also congratulate yourself for yourselfs fine wondering.
I also congratulate myself for myselfs fine post which led yourselfs fine wondering.
But all I did was use some artistic filters on another photo I took using those macro lens spacer things.
This time, a picture of a knot in my fence.
My younger daughter, Mollie, took these photos before I went to work this weekend.
As I said in an earlier post, when I did the training to become a security guard, thus adding yet another position to the long list of jobs I have had in my life, I pictured myself wearing a badge… not a blazer. I wasn’t expecting my first posting to be at an upscale private housing development.
I mean, up to this point, suits were worn only at weddings and funerals. I also smudged the monogrammed logo, for security reasons.
Fortunately, I work the swing shift from 2 in the afternoon until 10 in the evening. When it gets dark, I get to switch over to the bomber jacket with metal badge… and lots of pockets.
Yeah, I know, I look good in a suit.
But I feel cooler in the bomber jacket.
Oh, yeah.
Tiny sea shells…
A little leaf on a succulent plant…
Little rocks…
Collected on my travels around the world.
Everything is more interesting when you take a closer look.
Even the filaments in a light bulb…
Or a stucco wall…
Or a tiny bit of a dia de los muertos skull.
