Rain or shine, your city/town/burg is beautiful. Show us the magic⤴

from

Today’s TDC says

Celebrate the season wherever you live (Autumn in the northern Hemisphere, Spring in the southern) by getting out in the streets today and photographing the beauty that is the moment.

If you’re housebound, turn your camera to the window. Compose your shot. Make it beautiful.

It’s  very changeable weather here today – one minute bule sky, the next drizzly rain. Here’s my favourite orner of our garden, with Fair Flora (needing repainting!) in front of our ‘orchard corner’. The wee apple tree still has apples on it and the cherry is a lovely colour. The huge fuchsia is called ‘Delta’s Sarah’

World Animal Day⤴

Today’s TDC says

4th October is World Animal Day. Make some art to celebrate your favourite animal

I decided to celebrate the puffin, so I headed over to Flickr and searched my images there. Here’s a picture I took in 2018 when we took a boat from Mull to Lunga.

I also put an arty filter over it, but I think I prefer puffins as they are in nature.

A random word poem⤴

Today’s TDC says:

Use this random word generator and write a haiku (5, 7, 5 syllables) about the first word you generate!

The word I got was drift:

A crisp autumn day
Clouds drift across the skyline
Trees dance in the breeze

I took a photo through my study window, it’s at the top of this post

The Last Museum⤴

Today’s TDC says

The Last Museum says it is “the largest search engine for museum art. It uses semantic search, allowing you to search for artworks by theme, style, subject, vibes, or any description you can imagine”.

Visit the Last Museum and have a look around – pretty amazing, huh? Share something that you found with us, or make some art based on what you find and share that.

I spent ages looking around, first at Scottish culture and then searching for specific terms. Amusingly, a search for Findhorn (as we’re just home from holiday there) brought up this picture of Bembridge on the Isle of Wight (in copyright, so not posted here). I don’t have any photos from my time there, we left such a long time ago. But here’s a pic I took last week of Findhorn Bay, with the same sort of composition

Into the Sun⤴

Today’s TDC says:

Make a dramatic photo at sunrise or sunset.

I was in the car driving down the A9 at 10am today, so I grabbed this one from Flickr and tooted it. Findhorn Bay earlier this week, as we were walking home.

Accidental Photo Art⤴

from

Today’s TDC says

Invariably I take unintended photos when grabbing my phone or those weird compositions featuring a blurred thumb selfie. Can you make/shae art from an accidental or unntended photo?

I usually delete any blurry pics I take, but here’s a long exposure one I took at the weekend by mistake. It was very windy!

I headed over to Lunapic to artify it
