I hope you are ok, and that the fires and smoke are dissipating.

I am very well and the air is much cleaner today than it has been in some time.

I don't know the current situation about the fires in our local mountains. It's tough going up there.

Your photo brings my eye up and around into a big swirl of bright color!

I also hope you and yours are safe out there.

I'd just gotten home from a little grocery/dinner shopping, and when I put my lemon in the bowl.......

Bingo! There's my photo.



We are very safe, and thank you.

Yup, the colors and textures, along with my desire to do something a little different...

All those elements were in play.

My summer entry was off center so I cropped and ran with it as if I meant to do it.

Silly Putty was a mistake, and it made millions.

I loved the off-center look of your summer entry. It did look as though you'd meant it to be seen that way, and it worked!

I thought it needed negative space to give it more of a 3D look (separation). A close crop would have not worked. Thanks for the kind words.
