DAVE WROTE:  Hi Jim, A cold rainy day here in the Rome area. Temperature only 40 degrees F. A small flock of Robins moved thru. Bathing and fighting in a puddle.

I WROTE:  The world on top the northern Allegheny Mountains, where I was born and raised, are the most beautiful memories in my mind. I painted one such memory of the country lane thru the Brubaker farm that is in my mind.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE: Enjoy those seasons and/or the memories of them.

Dave Wrote:  Hi Jim, Here are some pictures for the blog. These were all taken at my feeder set  up. A male and female Towhee, a Red-bellied Woodpecker and a Grackle. We are starting to get some colder weather here in upstate NY.  Temperature was 40 degree F. for the last two mornings at 7.00 AM.  Dave

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE: Enjoy days that are different but be glad to return to normal

Can’t go out but I can play on computer – I pray that we will all be safe during this nature’s happening. I made this abtract  while waiting for Milton to come and exit.  It represents “Hurricane  spookiness”.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE: Prepare for whatever spooky hurricanes are headed your way!

My starter’s for this digital painting:  I hung the feeders and often photographed them at my daughter’s in New Jersey.  Gloria photographed the red in the lower corneer from inside a her car at a NYC car wash.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE: turn to what ever your indoor hobby is when the weather turns foul.

Yesterday, I was at an important meeting in the Morristown Village Green.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE: Remember, social media photos might be fun to see BUT I believe all have been modified a little -maybe just automatically AI’ed by the camera!

I am going to let you answer this question – for yourself!

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE: See if you agree with me – Your Attitude and Thinking are one and the same.

Doctor visits are not a form of recreation. They are a time for reflecting, praying, planning, and hoping for a good report.  At my last visit, I impinged  this photoPainting.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE: At you next waiting room visit, may God be with you and bring good news.

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE: Look for a scene you would like to share with your first cup of coffee.

Today’s Photo Art traveled from my iPhone, to my brain, to my computer, to you. Enjoy!

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE: look at the art in the world around, let your brain tell you “That was fun to see”

As photographers we will see AI infiltrate our hobby at the speed of lightening. One of these photos taken out my kitchen window is real & one is not. What will AI do to our hobby in a few years?

AS YOU SWING THROUGH LIFE: I suggest we try to keep up with photo technology and help guide it’s appropriate use by hobby photographers.
