A Chinese Lantern flower, Physalis Alkekengi, captured in the low light of a winter afternoon. I love the way the seed pods become almost skeletal.

And a tropical Hibiscus flower edited to resemble a stained glass mosaic.


Happy 2020!

You Will Forever Be My Always......

I will never forget my time in Africa, it truly is a magical place.

This old flatbed truck has become an often featured model for not only my photos but also a painting I did of it.

This is a desert marigold (Baileya) wildflower in the last days of autumn before the winter snows. New Mexico; Sandia Mountains in background.

Prompted by Liesl Walsh's comment I revisited this Dudleya pulverulenta. What a fresh green for my first image of 2020! Thanks, Liesl!

Old Glory as she's blown heartily by a strong wind and showing nothing but red and white stripes.

San Francisco, host to the universe's number one gastronomic orgy, world renowned award winning wines and other lively spirits, and not to mention the biggest playground in the galaxy masked as the City by The Bay. Voted the most fun per square foot allowable by any big city ordinance, known internationally as the Mecca of Fun, and enjoyed by long time locals and eccentrics for centuries! If there were ever a place to practice your freedom of religion and philosophy of Eat, Drink, Play, and Repeat, look no further, San Francisco is Your destiny!

Last one for the month. Another flower photographed in my kitchen. It was lit with the southern light coming through the window.

Two sunset images I captured of the sky were digitally stitched together to create this wider view and then I added a subtle effect of sunbeams before adding the birds to the sky.

Abbie Shore's 2nd Edit Challenge for 2020. I'm calling this entry 2020-2b.
I did some normal re-processing adjustments, color, contrast, noise reduction, etc. Then I replaced the tiny moon in the distance with a slightly larger one. I added various spacecraft and an alien soldier on the ground shooting a laser rifle at a close ship over the water. I also added a water vortex under the close ship and some faint stars in the upper, darker sky area.
