Morning Walk #1

 Today was not my first morning walk,

but this is the first time I am posting pics from my morning walk on this blog.

These magnolia blossoms were irresistible!

This front yard is in beautiful bloom.

The slanting ray through the palm tree was not visible with the naked eye.

All photos taken by me on 3 March 2021, Fresno, CA, USA

Toucan Time

In this one, I wanted to add some color
and some whimsy.
The whimsy is in the Schoolhouse Rock "Bill,"
Tigger, a Hot Wheels car, and the kitschy clip-art.
It is pretty "blocky."
I toyed with adding some 'doodle' lines.
In a sense, this one is not really complete.
I should go further with the doodles, maybe.
Maybe.

I should mention that my goal here is to create art
from digital images without resorting to the modern
tools in 'photo-shop' and CGI (computer-generated imagery).
I want to keep it more raw and primitive (relatively speaking).
I want to create new pieces by combining and manipulating
the existing images in a way that is artistic, surprising, pleasing,
interesting, and enticing.
