Giving Gimp another go here Obviously I don’t quite have the grasp of this compared to Photoshop… but I liked it well enough. The tree is amazing… sprawling, growing rampant in all directions.

The Gazebo
The gazebo in the moonlight… how romantic… or… actually, I always thought they were a bit spooky at night, a bit chilling. The monsters could definitely get you with no trouble. Zombies, mummies, werewolves, and of course both Dracula and Frankenstein. The first time I ever heard the word pronounced was in an old movieContinue reading “The Gazebo”
Confection
. I hope your Thanksgiving day was warm and wonderful wherever it was spent… We do it the Saturday following so people don’t have to work, especially the cooks. Daughter and I have come up with a vast array of delectable goodies for tomorrow, like we do every year… Too busy to make pictures…
Spotted Robin
I had an hour to kill before a holiday dinner tonight, so I brought my camera along and wandered through a nearby park. This female spotted robin really made my day – hopped up so close to me. They make a couple of hops and then pause and listen for worms – perfect pauses toContinue reading “Spotted Robin”
Big Buddha
Isn’t it ironic? Is it? Maybe no. Maybe not at all. Is Orwell even read any more or is he fading into the dimming past? He seems more relevant today than ever before in my lifetime. Though he became so politically incorrect, excoriated by both the left and the right, I enjoyed almost everything heContinue reading “Big Buddha”
Eternal Sadness
Not sure why, but this angel is one of my favourite captures… there seems to be so much going on…
Garden variety butterfly
Just a garden variety butterfly flitting around a garden variety garden. There’s nothing wrong with the garden variety, you know… We can’t all be fiery hothouse creations Mad with passion Demanding non-stop attention Showing off in front of the whole wide world. Some of us quietly do what we’ve got to do and carry onContinue reading “Garden variety butterfly”
Wanaka World
Last one. I promise. Okay, I don’t promise… But we’ll go back to the more usual diversion tomorrow. I promise. Maybe… But come on… The four naked trees in winter just make for an interesting piece. And good things come in threes…
Auckland Sunset
Apologies for putting two of these little globes up in a row, but I’ve had a bit of fun making them, experimenting with different types of subjects. Landscapes are the easiest to work with as long as you’ve got a bit of variety in the terrain. But anything that can be shot or cropped toContinue reading “Auckland Sunset”
On Top
Yeah, it’s a photoshop trick – but still… I rather like it, if only for being able to use one of my surfer photos. I was especially fond of this one as he seemed to be skating on top of the water. OK and the splash next to him is pretty cool, too. Besides, itContinue reading “On Top”
