    … all of that beauty for the sole purpose of attracting birds,bees and other critters to come and check out what each bloom is offering … food in return for pollination of the plant and each life form is assured that life for itself and future generations will continue … and we get to take delight in the annual show! The bloom above is an Icelandic Poppy that I shot a number of years ago and still today its beauty carries forward.

    Below is a rather silly Greenhead Mallard that was bathing himself with abrupt dunks into the water and immediate recoveries … in doing so he gave himself what looks like a crystalline necklace of water as well as a crystalline backstop of the same … momentary beauty that carries forward.

    For those of you who are into photo editing, Topaz Labs has recently come out with a new product called Photo AI and it does a remarkable job either as a stand alone or plug-in for Photoshop and in addition to the normal editing tools it replaces Gigapixel as you can up-sample photos substantially … check it out.

    Adobe has also released a number of new and or improved AI neural filters in Photoshop 2023 that do an amazing job on photo restoration, colorization and more. Below the mallard photo is an old black and white family photo depicting my dad, brothers and me after a duck hunt at Heron Lake in western Minnesota in the early 1950’s. That’s me on the right … not perfect, but taking a very old photo and coming up with this is a surprise …not perfect, but I am just beginning to learn how to use these filters … much more to learn. For hunters, my dad and brothers hunted with L.C. Smith side by side double barrel 12 ga shotguns and I used an Ithaca 37R 12 ga pump with a 30″ barrel.

    To you who walk in shadows dark
    And keenly hark
    For kindly words if but to live,
    Myself I give,
    My life and all my heart and hand
    Here where I stand.
    ‘Tis thus that both our lives will grow
    I know.

    excerpt from I Know by Max Ehrmann

    Candidates
    The Apprentice
    By Tommy Acosta
    Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy. Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
