Foggy

 looking doesn't always mean that it is foggy out.

 


 

This foggy appearing photo gave me pause when I took a peek at it, to just how well the photo

and my intent came out. Looking at this picture and saying to myself, hey it's not foggy out and 

proceeded to wipe the lens, plural, there are three lenses.

 

Something portrait photographers did in the day was to smudge their lens with whatever they had

in their bag to create a similar effect. 


This composition was challenging enough, with only a dash off western sun to spotlight the new 

leaf and blossoms, little contrast and yet plenty of texture. While still wanting to record my

modifying this scenery by tilting over the cement pot and giving the pot the cornucopia of plant 

effect and on top of that to make it look like it's always been like this.


Thus presenting the first, hardly spontaneous, late Fall scenes from this constant's gardeners garden.

Hopefully more to come, or not...

Thank You

 tropical storm nichol ,with intentional little initial spell check,ok? Formerly known

 as Cat1 Huricane Nichol for allowing me to fill four and a half fifty-five gallon 

rainbarrels, in less than two hours. Woo hoo!

    With almost nightmarish regulatory near the end of setting a timer with ever changing

intervals, alternating left and right side hauling to even out the where and tear on this 

beast of burden. Throw in some determination and anticipation and getting wet and

blasted with gusts of winds that were nothing like Ian's, thank goodness.

    This last haul is a great reset of stored rain as we get into our natural dry season, with

some intermittent showers hear and there, if we are lucky, says the constant gardener.
