I wanted to write a poem for this one because I felt a connection to the little outlier who stood apart from his flock… but then it occurred to me that the image was descriptive enough.

My brain fog (which is getting better), and my inability to write an entertaining story at the moment, has me feeling a bit like this quiet little gull – like I want to be a part of the action… but I can’t quite figure out how. And just when my thoughts get on a roll and I’m feeling ideas start to stir, the curtain drops.

So, for now, images will have to do.

I got a little carried away with this photo. I wanted lots of vibrancy and motion and I couldn’t figure out how to get it in Photoshop, so I finished off the effects in BeCasso. It feels like cheating when I use apps like that because they really do all of the work. There’s no learning involved when you use them, and I’m trying to avoid that as much as possible for these experimental images.

But… I’m still happy with how it turned out and I could not have gotten the same look on my own. Not yet anyway. Anyway, that’s about all for now.

Thanks for viewing… I hope you enjoyed!
