Sun lit Feathery Grass Plums

Ornamental grass is one of my favorite fall foliage plants to photograph. When the plums are backlit you see a nice #glow & #bokeh effect.

A close-up photograph of the feathery plumes of tall grass, backlit by the sun. The fine hairs on the plumes are glowing white against a dark, out-of-focus background of deep greens and shadows, which is punctuated by soft, circular bokeh lights

NanoBanana is pretty cool. I'm not sure if I'm ready to pay for it, yet it did create a nice mirror reflection for me

Yesterday I got a flu and COVID shot in my right & left arm. Now both arms are sore. 🥴. I won't do this again ( I will get my vaccines on different days). Maybe going to the warm 💦 pool will help.

Sweet home

Sweet home is a landscape painting in acrylic painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. The abstracted dream landscape in expressive colours shows a small white house in the middle of a yellow field, perhaps a rape field in spring or a sunflower field in summer or ripe grain in autumn. Above the field stretches a wide sky with dark blue storm clouds. Rays of sunlight illuminate the field and the house. The picture was painted with loose expressive brushstrokes. The colour contrast between the field in bright yellow and orange tones and the sky in dark blue and violet tones emphasises the painting's bright expressive effect.

Never had any desire to go on a cruise. Entirely too many germs crammed in space, and when I'm ready to go I don't wish to be stuck on a ship🤷🏾‍♀️

A lone canoe waits, still as breath, for your arrival. Step in and let the quiet serenity enchant you.

On a foggy autumn morning framed between two trees rests a double canoe on the shore of Lake Julian. Beyond the waiting boat is one dock that stretches out into the lake waters leading the eye to the dock on the opposite side and the tree lined shore beyond.

I remember those days. Oregon Hill was across the street and Black dared not to venture into Oregon Hill. It's amazing how that area has changed..
