B is for Blue Birdhouse and Blue Sky
It would have been nice to have a bird in the photo… but they are all hanging out at the bird feeder .
I’ve just decided to do the alphabet challenge privately… that is I’m posting here on my blog but not at the site that is hosting the challenge. It’s the second week that I’m too late to submit my link. Anyway, the point is to “see” fresh subjects to photograph, which it seems to be doing.

I know that Red & Blue is not a theme that we’ve been given, but for some reason I saw these two images on my random photo walk / bike ride this morning… forty minutes apart. Kind of strange, huh? Doesn’t two make a theme?

Any guesses on what this is? No… not it’s not a MOMA abstract painting. It’s a macro view of of a piece of blue glass slag that I found at the Rock Shop. Please looke at the large print to really appreciate it. What do you see in it?
This is processed… First I did the High Pass Overlay to bring out the patterns. then I added another layer and placed it under the High Pass Overlay and worked on the levels and also burned in where ever I saw an abstraction that seemed to look like something to me. I turned off the original background layer… and then saved it in a lightly larger photo size than I normally do so that it fills more of the screen when it is enlarged.

Blue rocks fascinate me. It seems like such a non-rock color to me. I fell in love with the blue mineral in quartz matrix which is called Kyanite the first time I saw it many years ago. In fact, it starting me on a small collection of blue minerals back when I was a collector. Although some people do make jewelry with Kyanite, it typically is not considered a gemstone. It has some industrial use… and of course is of value to collectors.
The background rock is a geode. This photo was taken surreptitiously, thus I thought it was lucky to catch the same colors in a different type of rock right there in the background.
I was at the model airplane field… and I noticed this model airplane and the jet contrail… and of course I thought “big & small.” We know that the jet is “big” and the model airplane is “small” but perspective makes the the jet “small” (actually invisible without its contrail) and the model airplane “big.”
Since this is not great resolution, I decided to not crop and just let the “big” blue sky overpower all, and make everything look “small.”
Enough play on the theme, don’t you think?
