Bobo

Made this as a joke for a photographer friend.

Had a really nice trip to a place along Fox River over the weekend. At first, I was bummed I left my camera at home. Then I just let myself be present.

That's when the full beauty, emotion, energy and raw power of nature revealed itself to me.

Even the AI Generator is feeling this Monday.

A photo of a penguin with text beneath it saying “Don’t Tread on Me.”

Penguin leadership approves of this message.

What a great guy! Way cooler than the goats. They make me bribe them to pose. 😩

In a small group I am in we are discussing Artistic Vision. Yesterday we were talking about how different edits can alter an image. And it reminded of these edits from a few years ago.

Just when I got good at not leaving my finger in front of the lens. Someone goes and puts a giant hand statue in the art park! Thanks. 📸🙄

Let's have some fun. What's he saying? Is he sharing wisdom? Or being snarky?

The Hidden Life of Trees is a fantastic book. I only got to skim your post, but will read fully this evening. I also smiled when I saw your blog banner. If my bookshelf were organized the contents of would follow a similar theme. Though I admittedly don't know much about Franciscans.

That's just silly and rude. Even as a teenager, I knew to do a currency exchange when I was taking a day trip over to the best side of Niagara Falls. The fact that a shop owner would offer to accept USD was a courtesy not an expectation. SMH.

Even the Canada Goose population is down here this spring. What are you all telling them? 😜 Joke aside. It's a bummer. As loud, noisy, messy and bossy as they are. I'm sad we'll likely get to see fewer goslings this year.

I would probably do okay as SECDEF too. But, I don't want that kind of pressure.

Shout out to the current administration for helping cure me of my imposter syndrome. 🥳🎈😀

it is for me too... really wish we had an edit. Or maybe I should just slow down. 😀

Indeed it is and my intention was to be silly. As it grows we'll need to tweak our filters though.

*are shifting.

Well said.

I'm not saying it's right. But, it's hard not to be apathetic. When there is no accountability. When congressional meetings could double as episodes of Jerry Springer...

We the people are figuring it out though. The mood and energy is shifting. And, I don't think it's too late.

Sure feels that way. But it's a problem that exists everywhere. Not just in the three-ring circus that is Washington D.C. Look in comment threads at all the victim blaming. Or where someone breaks the law on camera and the police are a-holes for not just looking the other way.

Seems awfully round. 🤔 😜

A little reminder I made for myself. It's too easy to get caught up making art for the likes. Instead of following your artistic vision. #photography #photoshop #art #creativity

Just like goat's it'll be turtle time at our local zoo soon too.

Seems I say not frequently 😬. Thanks @bskyinsights.com for the free Insights and word cloud!

If I had known there was so much real #photography and other creative content here. I would have joined sooner! Thank you to everyone who is sharing your creative vision. And to those who have looked at and/or liked mine.

Groucho was watching over us back in May of 2020. Clouds can be so interesting.

Sorry I couldn't resist. 😜 Back to normal photography posts in a it.

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard someone say. They converted a bad image to B&W "save" it. 🙄😬

I really enjoy the color work in this photo and the next several below.

Another important part of Spring yard prep 😆 I'm not against people going door to door t promote their small business or fundraiser. We just have some really aggressive roofing companies whose reps don't understand polite not interested.
