Noisy Plant Parts

Sometimes I crank-up the ISO as far as it’ll possibly go just because I’m in the mood for some random noise. Good times.

Also, I’m shocked I haven’t killed this plant  yet… it’s remarkably resilient… whatever it is.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Ward Abbott: “Can you really bring him in?”

Alexander Conklin: “I think we’re past that, don’t you? What, do you have a better idea?’

Ward Abbott: “Well, so far, you’ve given me nothing but a trail of collateral damage from Zurich to Paris. I don’t think I could do much worse.”

Alexander Conklin: “Well why don’t you go upstairs and book a conference room. Maybe you can talk him to death.”

Who knew? I’m on a boat! Or… I took a photo of one, anyway.

Coffee Maker Bits

Recently discovered: coffee makers contain bits-n-pieces that are fun to photograph. Even if said machine does little to improve upon the taste of a glass of Coke. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Dandelion Princess

I’ve always wanted to give an Art Nouveau painting a try… so… um… here’s a first attempt.

The Czech is a nod to Alphonse Mucha (among other reasons), who was, of course, the man.

Empty

Guess who was too busy painting to do any photo editing again? Yup. This guy. The ‘painting’ is coming along, though (it should be posted next week). So… that’s something, right? Anyway, have a great weekend, everyone – cheers!

Dennis Reynolds: “Oh, you put wine in the soda can?”

Sweet Dee Reynolds: “You didn’t know, did you?”

Dennis Reynolds: “That’s good!”

Charlie Kelly: “Ahhh… you stole Frank’s idea!”

Sweet Dee Reynolds: “Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

Charlie Kelly: “Well, it’s a good idea.”

Sweet Dee Reynolds: “It actually is a pretty good one.”

Charlie Kelly: “I mean, the guys got great ideas…”

Grunge Orchid

It’s been a busy weekend of getting very little accomplished. So… here’s… a… flowery thing. It might not look like much, but it does a decent Eddie Vedder impression. Should be able to do one, anyway. Grunge and all.

Cannery Workbench – Glen Haven, M.I.

These  new-fangled camera/phone contraptions seem to come in handy sometimes. Like when you find yourself in a museum-type situation.

Sweet Dee Reynolds: “Just so I’m clear, you guys don’t actually think that things are going to come alive because you’re spending the night in a museum, right?”

Dennis Reynolds: “I’m sorry, we’re simply opening ourselves up to the possibility of an amazing adventure this evening. Is there something wrong with that? Now, whether that means, uh,  Charlie running into his ancient spirits or us having to just, you know, run away from security guards all night, either way, it’s going to be a really, really great time.”
