Here’s a little experimental photography for you. Something tells me the sky will look a lot like this a little later today (read: on my drive home). *sigh*
Stupid weather. I’m supposed to go to the park for a play date! Go rain elsewhere!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the picture. Let me know what you think below!

Suddenly they all died. The end. 
Strangely eerie, yet beautiful.

They look like trees seen through water. Startling effect.

They do, sort of, don’t they? I hadn’t realized that till just now. Regardless, startling is good. 🙂

I love that picture! Very artsy! You should frame it and hang it in your house!

Thank you! I love it, too – I even set it as the background on my phone. 🙂
The only problem with my house is the lack of usable wall space. I already have a bunch of framed pictures that I want to hang when I get my library finished, and I suspect I’m not going to have room for them all in there. I think you’re right, though – this one should definitely be added to the list. 😀

*claps excitedly* Oh, good. Because I have a shiny new DSLR and photography is in my blood. I may not be able to draw to save my soul, but I do love taking pictures. 🙂

DSLR?
When I was a Royal marine, I carried an SLR – Self Loading Rifle. I’m sure that’s not what you meant – or was it? When photographers say shoot, I thought…

Ha! Oh, Lordy, you kill me, Roger! A DSLR is a digital single-lens reflex camera. I have an SLR, too, the kind that needs film, but I’ve been thinking of selling it in order to help pay for the new camera. Not because I don’t like it (I do), but because no one is selling film anymore and if you can find it, no one will develop it anymore. I don’t know how to do it myself and I know I could learn, but I don’t have the equipment to do it with – sadly, the only windowless room in my house isn’t nearly big enough to turn into a darkroom.
It kills me every time I use my film camera to take pictures of my kids, though. They always ask to see the pictures as soon as I’m done taking them and I have to explain – repeatedly, because apparently their memory is about as long as their attention span – that film cameras and digital are different, that you can’t see the pictures right away. I wonder what they would have thought of Polaroids…

Oh, okay. I get it now.
just in case you can find some film, you can leave it for years in a fridge until you find someone to develop it. Just remember to take it out 24hrs before you give it to them.
I had an image of those naughty people in Belfast and other places who tried to shoot me; and me saying, “Stop. Turn your head. Pout, give me attitude.” They would have given me attitude, alright.A lead enema more like.

A lead enema sounds like something we could all do without. 😀

Thank you! It reminds me a bit of the illustrations from the Scary Stories books by Alvin Schwartz. Not quite so creepy, but that was sort of the vibe I was going for. I’m glad you liked it! 🙂
