Gianna's Visions

[dizzylia]

Blasting billowing bursting forth
with the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes
Man with his flaming pyre has conquered the wayward breezes
climbing to tranquility far above the clouds
Conceiving the heavens clear of the mystery shroud...... The MoodyBlues

As a teenager I was very fond of reading sciencefiction and the tv was full of campy sci fi thrillers, I used to play music and do pencil drawings of topics like this acrylic...

*grins* You don't still read sci-fi?

*grins* You don't still read sci-fi?

Laughing.....I devoured it in masses, and found that it is hard to come up with new ideas in that genera, when I find a good book it is like a treasure....but now adays that applies to books of all flavors. For instance I hate most of John Steinbeck's novels...they are tragic and painful to read, but two of my favorite novels are Sweet Thursday and Cannery Row. The characters are delightful and so human. I love Zora Neal Hurston's Their eyes were watching god. Some of the lines in that book are astoundingly beautiful. Now sci-fi favorites were many. I am ashamed I cannot remember many but there was a lot of very interesting philosophy and ideals explored through fiction and science fiction that would not be accepted in any other genera without great critism and disclaim. Certainly challenging the status quo brings us all to a better place, without the exchange of ideas and thoughts we stagnate....become rotten.
Would a simple yes have done just as well?

Altogether, it is an amazing site for artists and art lovers, so you may know of it already.
This screensaver in particular helps me thru stressful moments.

Cattleya guatelamensis may be mispelled....need to find my orchid books to check. An orchid species native to central America

 

[Gi_Venus]

an untouched photo of C.guatalemenisis I would love to hear which of the two people like best.

 

[Gi_Venus]

Same plant....god this editing is tedious...I have a rogue mouse which has its own mind....I think I will use a hammer on it before I put it in the garbage....

 

[lightsaver]

Cm guatelamensis gets my vote

 

[Gi_Venus]

I was photoing a snapdragon...and low and behold...I beheld an ass... I.. ah...edited it a little. When I edit photos I touch up with color picked up from the photo itself.

As I was walking by my neglected orchid I snapped this shot this morning...using a flash with my newly recovered misplaced camera... Epidendrum radicans they have renamed this into another genus....I will have to look it up. A species from Central America

Palmetto scrub used to cover most of Florida, most of it is gone now.

Both of these are so pleasing to my eyes!
