A lime-green ball held under water and released, pops out of the water in an unpredictable direction trailing a splash of pool water. Chasing it with a camera with a long lens at a fast setting sometimes gives a fun shot.

Anoles abound in our garden. Most of those I see are brown. The brown ones came from Cuba. Occasionally I see a bright green one. This one appeared inside the screened lanai. I caught him/her, got my camera ready, then had him taken out off the jar and placed on a red-orange bromeliad, thinking it would make a nice contrast. I expected the green anole to run away, but it obliged me by posing for photos over a few minutes. What started out as bright green skin became yellow and orange, blending better with the background colors. I made a sequence so you can see the full length of its tail as well as close up on it beautiful skin.

My montages are composite images from my own photos. Some are made to look natural and others are made to defy nature and bring together elements that I like together even though they are not naturally occurring. They are musings from my imagination. The blending options and degrees of transparency make it possible for me to experiment with variations on a theme with very different moods. If you share your email with me, future posts will arrive in your email box. I have just had printed a 40″ x 48″ canvas from one of my montages. The clarity is marvelous. If you would like a print made from any of my full-size images, let me know!
