This of course is titled “YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYE” – of course all of my photo art is named for an idiom.“Paddle Your Own Canoe”“Home Sweet Home”“Just Say No”“Dog and Pony Show”
The “Dog and Pony Show” “Home Sweet Home”“Paddle Your Own Canoe”“Just Say No”
I Know that photo art is fantasy and not real photography – Real photography done by real photographers who know the art photography. But I am having fun doing this PhotoShop stuff – Hope you like looking at it.
Nice quiet shore on Lake Huron’s Whitney BayI enjoy paddling into the grass to see what I can seeThis time I saw this frog checking me out!A little further on in clear water are rocks and old boat ramp remains – May have been from the War of 1812 – Fort Drummond was just across the bayBack home the dear are trying to figure out how to get over the fence I installed!In the afternoon we did take 3 hours to plan and take a great trail ride with friends.Hope I can soon finish my next piece of computer art/photo project – of course not sure it is art or a cartoon of idioms – Such as a “Dog and Pony Show” — You can judge when I get done!
This is my third attempt retirement Digital Art (See previous posting for attempt 1 and 2. – with Gloria’s help. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Digital art is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as an essential part of the creative or presentation process. Since the 1970s, various names have been used to describe the process including computer art and multimedia art, and digital art is itself placed under the larger umbrella term new media art.This is me – learning about the modern digital art!

“Daydreaming – A Call To My Family” The Icelandic horse is a breed of horse developed in Iceland. Although the horses are small (around 14 hands), registries for the Icelandic refer to it as a horse (I been told there is no noun for pony in Icelandic) . In 982 AD the Icelandic Althing (parliament) passed laws prohibiting the importation of horses into Iceland and exported animals are not allowed to return. The breed has now been bred pure for more than 1,000 years. The Icelandic displays two gaits in addition to the typical walk, trot, and canter/gallop commonly displayed by other breeds. – Smooth ride – Great for old folks like me!!!What does an Icelandic look like? Well, here is a stock photo of an Icelandic in full winter coatand here is Perla and friends running in the winter snow of Michigan!!!That is me – learning the “Artist” language! I will keep you informed of progress.
Where there’s smoke there is fire or Where there’s a bear tract there is a bear!! Saw the track on our trail ride but missed the bear.Driving a 50 some foot rig – 1,000 pound bikes on the back is focused fun! To Drummond we goOn the main land – what a rig he drives!On the ferry – navigated up the ramp – between a boat load! of cars – do those light make that look like a appropriate tow vehicle!!From our dock, we often saw freighters like this heading for the Soo, Duluth, or thru the Straights, or on to the Ocean – or points in-between.Here is the fromt end of one heading thru the SOO Locks heading for DuluthIt has been said “Where the mind goes the body will follow” —1,000 feet back is the other end of this freighter – heading to the Duluth with the front end of course. Preparing to ride.Getting to know our rider!Getting to know our mount!Discovery on the trail, “For sale”Discovery on the trail, Getting to know usBeautiful trail – this is Sue on her mount – sometime the trail is wide, sometimes both legs and head were scrapping trees at the same time – but with these mounts we enjoyed it all.Then on to golfHere we see cool and drizzle golf – one can tell by the golf cloths! – notice the road on the middle right!OOPS! -not only is the weather unique on Drummond golf courses – that is not a road – it is a run-way big enough to handle twin jets owned by some wealthy visitors (and owners)- but notice after hole 3 we must cross an active run-way to get to hole 4!!! – So, two carts wait at the stop sign while a student pilot does a take-off while doing touch and goes. Pilot has the right-of-way, by law!!! and I must say by my version of common sense too!!Day is done!! GoodnoghtOh, before I go and before this rig goes – chores must be done – Guess what Sue is doing inside – Did you ever move? — I mean every week or so? — if you have never been responsible for such a rig you may not relate to these chores – but if you have been responsible for one – YOU KNOW!!!Another OOPS, on Drummond we see strange puppets and stranger puppeteers in the sky – or is it only in my mind – maybe you can see it too – then it will be in your mind! Welcome to Drummond – it is a little different but very enjoyable!It would not surprise me to see this guy on Drummond because he is just a little different – but, then so am I!
Way back – before I was born – folks built wheels for ? this is a hub and part of the wheel – would not fit my pick-up truck – Well, I really did not try it! But, I do not think it ran on the ground anyway – so, what do you think it is?????Oh, with a closer look – now you know what it is – Right? I know what it is!Just sitting on a stump in our back woods. – Do you have one in your backyard? Bet you do – if not sure – check a craft show – bet you could find one!Mystery – thats what this blog contest is all about – Oh, you want some hints? Did you every see a burl, and pulley, a rhubarb or a ghost climb a tree?
We have 3 of these little guys that keep tabs on us.Sometimes they think they are hiding!Sometime boating requires running before the storm to get to a safe harbor!My favorite freighter – heading thru the gap and into a storm – He/she does not worry about summer storms – just blows his fog horns to warn summer boaters to get out of the way!This thistle seems to really love the drink it got yesterdayEarly sunsetMid sunsetLate sunsetOur garden really loved the rainy day yesterday
The setting sun did set her face aglow!Hey what is this? – A chicken?Hey – it is 2 chickens!Always catch a bug on these QUEEN ANNE LACE flowers – here after I looked at these a see 2 ants and a bluing bee
We do eat a lot when on vacation – Oh I am always on vacation – so, think I best go jump rope and clean up the horse barn – burn off calories and tone up those muscles!
