PhotoScapes Unleashed - Bubbleicious

Before

While taking my walk in the neighborhood I came across this cute little stone flower planter by the Jewish Community Center. I loved the colors and flowers so I took a snapshot.


After

Due to the color and textures of the original photo I decided to play around with it and add some bubbles, swirls and a darker color. I admit I got a little carried away but it was fun. The after shot looks a bit surreal to me. The bubbles added that extra oomph! Enjoy!

I'm amazed at how you worked on the round center, and that blue is definitely my kind of blue. I love all those effects!!

The planter is just so sweet--the manipulated planter looks like a witches cauldron!!

Icy, thanks it is so much fun playing around with these.

Shark, Wow, it really does, I hadn't thought of that. It is much more colorful and has more character than the original. Thanks.

That is neat and very creative! I would never have guessed they were from the same picture. The bubbles were a nice touch!

Looks like it might have been watered with psychedelic drugs by an old Haight Ashbury recluse - or, perhaps, this is what he saw after consuming his drugs!!

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
