Post Your New Photography Uploads For April 2017

From a recent trip to PMA in Philadelphia. I love the contrast of old and new design...

Some Golden Fuzzballs I found in a garden (macro)



An urban sunrise but the air conditioners reminded me of city buildings

Falling For You St Augustine Lighthouse. Image ingredients: One 3d rendered full moon, one daytime image of the Saint Augustine lighthouse, one 3d rendered starlit night, all created by Betsy. Baking magic: blend well, add a dash of fog and clouds, tweak the illumination, blend some more, spice up the colors, lay flat, and bake for ten hours.

April Showers and a Gerbera Daisy to welcome spring!

The Milky Way arc photographed over a lake in Everglades National Park. The lake was like glass and shimmering with the reflections of millions of stars. A night I'll never forget.

First uploaded image of the new month, captured on the waterway in our beachside town of Lake Worth, Florida... Tweaked the sky and took out a few nuisance objects, along with some artistic coloring and contrasting... Enjoy!

"Red Rock Canyon - Nevada"

One must have a great deal of respect when hiking around this grand creation. Circumstances can change in a hurry.

Kids exploring the beach of the Outer Banks - North Carolina for ghost crabs. I created an OOF (Out Of Frame), also known as OOB (Out Of Bounds) semi-surreal image which views like a pseudo 3D picture.

Just uploaded this one!

Easter Lilies Sunrise He is Risen: This lovely artwork combines a mirrored (blue-tinted) Easter Lilies photograph on a beautiful Sunrise background with the words "He is Risen!".

I love the morning sunlight in this photograph of famous Rush Street, as well as the lines from the buildings, and curves form the architecture. The people and Chicago vibe of the city play into all this.

We seldom really see the white pelicans when they come south for the winter - there is a small flock that congregates out on the 'big' lake - this pair decided to try the large pond called Lake DeSoto behind the county courthouse. They were just cruising along the shallows occasionally dipping down into the water to see if there was anything to eat.

PurrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRrrrrrrRRRRRRRrrrrrrr

This beautiful mountain sunrise was from a recent trip I took to Nepal. The clouds added a dramatic touch to a cold, but scenic, morning. I liked the look of the silhouetted treelined ridge, too.

A woman out for a morning run with her dogs, and a beautiful scenic view of the Chicago skyline, on the Lakefront at Buckingham Fountain.

Many times the simple things in life are priceless.

Sorry I was unsure how to post my image like some of the other images I have seen within post. Please forgive me

Two young friends exploring the beach at North Carolina's Outer Banks for ghost crabs. I processed the image as an OOF (Out Of Frame), also known as OOB (Out Of Bounds).

Here is my first one for the month, from my recent winter escape to the Florida Panhandle. My original photograph taken on location and processed in HDR software with added digital enhancements, painterly-style effects and a canvas-like texture.

Starting her life as a photo, this is an image of Cleo, a colorful cat who enjoys long naps in your bed, extensive petting sessions, and the most expensive cat food available.

Catching up on some processing today.

First from the PMA (Philadelphia Museum of Art)



and then ESP (Eastern State Penitentiary). Many people get the red barber's chair, but of you poke around there's also a blue dentist's chair too...

The birds have been really good to me lately - this water turkey posed and posed for me this evening - I think this is a pretty good shot of his portrait and beautiful feathering.

Please, when you post your images be sure to follow the rules and write a brief description.

Taken in the botanical section of Gibson Park. I liked the graceful lines of this.


A natural geological optical illusion, as the mountain and it various u[thrust peaks are more than 40 miles from Helena, but the distance gives this sleping giant effect.

The trees and clouds reflected in a spring puddle along a hiking trail on Wiltse Mountain, Penticton BC

I took this photo of a reflection of clouds in the Pine Lands of nJ off Rt 573,

I took this photo on banks of the Mullica River in the Pine Lands of NJ




I took this photo on a Pine Barrens savanna in the Pine Lands of NJ

One day I was standing at Tidal Falls in Hancock, Maine, about to leave, on foot. Suddenly all these turkey vultures came flying over the trees and out over the water. It was similar to the scary movie scenes as they kept coming over the tree line. Lighting was perfect to get this young birds ugly red face and nice feathering.

Newer works I just put up...

New York City Autumn Landscape...



Beautiful white cherry blossoms with verdant green moss...



New York City Skyline and White cherry blossoms...



Pink cherry blossoms in Central Park, New York City (Springtime!)

A couple from Portland Head Lighthouse last night.

An old decrepit large country house outside of Sudlersville on Maryland's Eastern Shore. I added textures, vignette, and sepia tone for artistic enhancement.
