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 reflection 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.
