Good Morning and 6.2 for me today.

Another sorting out day at MILs bungalow. Gathering statues from garden (a lot) and emptying sheds.

Make the day as wonderful as you can. Keep safe.

6.2 on this morning of birdsong and bins.

Reading up on the 2nd round of enforced social distancing that is about to happen. Who'd a-thunked it??

I am in my shell and here I shall stay, if I were a prison inmate I would probably action myself into getting solitary.

Looks like the sun is making an appearance and that means turning the flower beds over :)

Enjoy the day!

Good morning everyone from a sun reflecting on the leaves morning in the dark and dangerous north

The wonder wheel of this and that and I wonder what this frozen blob is in this box came in at 4.8 this am

@Muddy Cyclist - interesting sky - wonder what the foreground will contain?

@geefull - smashing seascape - delicately done - that aqua behind the waves

@Alien Aspie - foreboding mountain, constellations and hints of of dwellings lit up in the distance.

We didn’t make Whitby yesterday - the morning news reported some businesses closing due to someone sneezing out of turn. Never mind, we had a wonderful day and did find a reasonably deserted beer garden in which to have lunch. Rather easier to socially distance and all that when encased in riding gear and a fully enclosed helmet.
It’s International Bin Day again and I have decided on a fetching new outfit to disturb the neighbours when marshalling the bins.

On the Zen front - I decided to go for a blurred misty look playing about with a thing called Gaussian Blur. Good old Carl Friedrich and not a bell curve or non zero ‘c’ in sight.

Have a wonderful day, koffy as usual.

The warning signs have always been clearly labled:
“We are fed up with these rules”
“We are all confused as the govt keep changing the rules”
“I can’t wear a mask because I am precious”
“It’s gone now as we are not clapping any more”....and on, and on
Meanwhile back at Covid central, soldier 19 is quietly moving into the new offensive.

One of the most useful tools in Procreate and a favourite of mine ;)

Here's the art I wasn't going to do but did anyway whilst watching Dark Mirror :)

Excellent, so much detail in that Mountain and the way the light and darkness catches the rocks giving depth, like the sky colours also. Thought I recognised some familiar constellations but there are many from another Galaxy.

And you did this with your mind and eye being distracted elsewhere, brilliant.

I'm glad you mentioned Gaussian Blur, unfortunately I didn't read it before looking at your art and ended up panicking about a sudden change in eye sight and polishing my specs:). Nice misty Morning art.

Very effective tools, that's Gaussian Blur and your wheels.

Thanks for my sky painting appreciation, I still don't know what foreground will be.

Hi Ian,
I am afraid the grass stayed wet all day but tomorrow is a new day.
I am very non conformist in view, Ian, so apart from the main holy days, I am ignorant of such things as St. days.

One of the radiation physicists in medical physics where I worked, in my retirement job, was a really helpful Catholic Christian and she prayed for me, lighting candles etc, when I went through radical radiotherapy four years after I retired.

I found all the prayers of fellow Christians carried me through a difficult period.

I hope your remission continues and you are sustained through it all as I have been.

D.
Thanks for the good wishes and I'm glad the prayers and candles were beneficial in a difficult period. Hopefully, today, commemoration of Charles Fuge Lowder, is at worst a damp grass day. In this area of Suffolk it is Day 1 of the Moana, Nutella, school pickup and how do you pack all that into such a tiny body week. My bg is still a known unknown despite somehow having no cucumber on this building site.:arghh::arghh: (We do have avos :):)) It appears we are all at sixes and sevens - take care lions, the donkeys are too busy breaking international law to care.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen on this national bin day. I too have a rather fetching outfit for bin day.
One should say " snap ".

A low for me 5.0 on the meter of mystery and misbehaving, games ahead on the insulin front, side and rear.

Well folks 42 years ago today was the last time I was able to make a decision without instruction and at times Mrs J questions the decision she made. " I do " is a dangerous, very dangerous decision. A little like that Chinese curse " May you live in interesting times ".
Have a good day fellow posters and painters and of course motorcyclists, not forgetting other 2 wheel users.
@dunelm nice tee-shirt ,

I thought I had put my old glasses on, but then I read about your Gaussian blur....So I stopped panicking...

Nice misty painting...

I like your garage...mine most definitely needs tidying...actually everything needs throwing in the garden, and then re-packing in the garage...it is a double garage....

Like your bike, and your outfit. @dunelm
