TODAY'S
PHOTO -
More Reflections - Although I was photographing an
alligator's head in Wakodahatchee, to show someone
where to look to see it, it's now the rhythm and the
movement of the patterns in the water that are drawing
me to it - another "Nature painting."
I'd like the colors to be a little more intense and
considered "painting" out the alligator's
head, with one of my software programs. I decided
to leave the photo as is and include it here, simply
because it kept showing up.
For the artists among you, were I "fixing"
this "painting", there is one very strong
vertical line leading up to the alligator's head that
I feels needs being softened to add to the overall
flow.
Putting aside the painting conversation, for those
who like to find images in my photos, there are several
here, I'm sure. Sam passed by and commented that there's
a Russian Mosque (center left) and I see the profile
of a tribal head sending out kisses (slightly to the
right of top center, facing left)
Have fun.
READER COMMENTS ON THE LAST ISSUE - Issue
76
Yesterday's comments centered around children and
adults who love giraffes, including "I loved
the giraffe - especially her eyes. They were so
Gentle." and "Never really noticed
that Giraffes have an odd stump
on the top of their heads."
Then Mary Gray added some interesting information:
"A tall blonde! (Don't
know if you saw that PBS special on giraffes, but
it was called "Tall Blondes.") I admire
the, yes, serenity of this giraffe's gaze and also
the delicate wrinkling between jaw and neck. Apparently
giraffes are basically kind, although possessed of
a lethal kick.
Another factoid: it used to be thought that giraffes
were mute. Now we know they
vocalize but at a range below human hearing.
As far as the rellection in NYC goes, I was taken
entirely by the condensation from the subway. It looks
like a goblin or gremlin to me. (Something out of
"Ghostbusters"?)"
MORE GIRAFFES
for the Giraffe Lovers.
A few years ago I did some "playing" with
zoo animals in my photo/drawings. Anyone interested
can see them in note
cards (scroll down to the bottom of the page),
tiles,
and other
products.
