Greetings~

I’ve had this one sitting around gathering dust since May. I originally processed it in color and something just wasn’t … right. I’ve been looking at it every day since with no change … it just wasn’t hitting me, you know? Yesterday I finally pulled out the RAW file, started over and came up with this.

I think what was happening was struggling wiht the white balance. I just couldn’t get the colors right. For whatever reason the petals didn’t look real; either more blue or more purple than violet. I’m glad I re-visited this one, sure.

How could you dream
Of the unrelenting past,
Many and many a year ago?
Have you not heard?
It tells of good old time!

Greetings~

A thin gray shadow on the edge of thought
Days endeared to every muse
Shades of night were falling fast
I shall see a star tonight …
The endless merriment of stars

I really need to find the time to write real blog entries one of these days. Maybe when I’m retired, huh, the way things are going.
