Today’s Photo from Ted Grussing Photography:
Garden of My Mind

… I was going through several folders tonight, reviewing, judging and deleting photos as I went and then I came on a folder of “Innovator Spuria Iris” that we have growing in our yard thanks to friends, Allan and Marge, who planted them for Corky during the summer of 2013. They have bloomed brilliantly many years and I have a feeling that this will be a good year for them … plans are to feed them this year too. The website for the Spuria Iris is: https://spuriairissociety.org/

A very long time ago I did charcoal drawings and it was easy to depart from reality and create something new and exciting … today I have fun using the tools available to me in Photoshop to take the same liberties with my photos … photography is an art not just of a straight photograph, but a creation through the lens, eye and mind of the artist … the freedom is unlimited and the results can be amazing … reality can be over rated sometimes.

The snow on the ground is beautiful and it is cold … for here. Plans to shoot some snow scenes tomorrow and share one of them tomorrow night.

Have a beautiful day and keep your mind open for beauty and be willing to visualize it and play with the image in your mind. Keep breathing, keep smiling … life is great … we get to choose how we perceive it.

Cheers,

Ted

Time was when men held saner counsel here.

Will that time come again? Shall we behold

From this grim madness some new love unfold?

We pray for gentler times, when men shall cease

His brother man to bully or to fear.

Great God, among ourselves let us have peace?

From the poem “Crisis”

— Max Ehrmann

As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
