What (good) luck! written and illustrated by me. (Early 50s). by Ozcloggie
What luck. by Jopie Mul, (me) age 10 or 11. Softly the balmy summer wind rustles through the leaves of the trees of the forest. It is quiet in the big forest. / Suddenly there is a rustling sound. A girl of seven years is walking and singing, while picking berries. / Her basket is already filling up quite well. / “Ho. Ho,” she sighs. “I must rest a moment.” / She puts her basket down and sits down. / Soon she is in the land of dreams. / Tweet. Tweet. Peep. Twitter. Twitter. What is that? / Birds are flying towards her. / Within a very short moment. (Within a few counts.) the berries have vanished. / Rrrrrrrrrrrts! The birds are sitting in a tree. / That wakes Marjolein up. / “Hey. Where am I?” she asks herself. Then she discovers where she is. Cheerfully she stands up. But. Oh shock! There she sees her empty basket. / Crying she kneels down by her basket. / Step. Step. Step. Cheerfully, a boy of about 10 years, walks through the forest. / “Hey! There sits Marjoleintje,” he thinks. “She’s weeping.” / Oh. He sees! Her basket is empty. / “Shall I help you, Marjo?” he asks. / “Huh? What?” she asks in a startled manner “Oh. It’s you?” / “Well. Certainly.” / And, within a quarter of an hour the basket is full again. What good luck that Hein was passing by. / What luck! / .. / / I suspect that Marjolein was based on this class-mate or perhaps her younger sister, with whom I walked to school. / . / PLEASE READ about the goats who fought like Robin Hood and Little John / . / The author: /

Inscribed Memories by dalisa
I have loved, learned, and become a better man because of you. You have opened my eyes to new experiences and new ways of thinking. Being with you was a life experience that will never be forgotten. You where my first true love. The one who I could truly open up to, and let my guard down completely. I loved for you through the ups and the downs. You challenged me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. You were able to see me as the true person that I am. You saw my raw characteristics and appreciated/tolerated every one of them. You loved me for who I was. I was attracted to you from the first day we met at our freshman orientation. You were poised, confident, compassionate, beautiful, honest, and much much more. You were my best friend, partner, and lover. The feelings that passed between you and I will never disappear. I know that my responsibility is to let you go now. I understand that you have much to explore on your own before you choose a partner that you can share your experiences with. I wish you luck in all your future endeavors and I know you will have a successful future. You have many people by your side that will help you achieve your goals and aid in your development. You are and will be the strong woman that you are today. Our paths are dividing today but I hope in the future they will cross once again. The future is filled with uncertainty but I hope that one day we will meet again and share the experiences/knowledge that we have gained. It will be very hard for me to see you go on your own journey as you explore yourself and the world around you. But it is one journey that I need to let you go on. I have experienced this already in my life and it has shaped me into the person you fell in love with. I hope you never forget what we had and I hope that we stay connected throughout our lives. But, enough with the past now. You are the one for me. This is something I am very sure of. I have never felt such strong feelings towards anyone. I have met women with similar traits as you but never have I ever had the same feelings as I do for you. I know there is nothing that I can do to keep us together, nor would I want to try because I know this is beyond me. Today is the day where I will suspend my concrete thoughts and follow my spiritual beliefs. If this connection is meant to be, it will last no matter how many miles we are apart or how many years have passed. You are the one for me and I hope that you can figure out one day that I am for you. Life moves on, time heals all wounds, but it will never erase the love I have for you. Enjoy this time of your life, become the person you want to be, and learn everything there is to know about life.

Who are you? by Arletta
The title is inspired, both by the owl in Bambi and by the song by The Square Pegs; oh, yes, and by the caterpillar, come to think of it, from Alas in Wonderland! Well, Alice, of course, I mean; Alas, in Wonderland, may, however, be the title of something of mine. May, I say: MAY! Do not task me, tax me, or tack me! This is pure photo manipulation: or, perhaps it is impure photo manipulation. Who can tell? The original photo is of me, taken by me, and uploaded by me onto my profile so that (if you are viewing this sooner towards the time of it’s having been uploaded rather than later towards the time of my profile having changed again) you may view it there, on my profile page, if you are so inclined. You may also be the leaning tower of Pisa, if you are so inclined. Or, a Roman. You might be the rolling plains. I hope you are none of the above, however, as I do not want to try to guess how any of them got to be on the internet – not as attractions, but as viewers of same. Am I attractive to a Roman rolling plain over which leans the tower of Pisa? Hmm … At any rate, I do not know who you are, or why you are attracted, or if you are attracted, or what would happen if we put you near a magnet. Would you explode? Would you fall? Would you fly? Whomever you are, stop reading this silly thing, now! Thank you for complyi… err.. hey wait! You are still reading this, aren’t you? Stop that! Stop reading! Stop I say! (sigh) Darn you! ahem ... anyway … There is another one of these, but, flipped and recolored, so assume mostly the same information, only, if you like, you can flip and recolor the words, to make them more suitable.

Simple Complexity in Circuit Distribution (or the Funnel of Love) by restlessd
From the Wonder Museum of eLand eKtal, this image was captured by the Telescopia Fractalicus during a rainbow shower caused by the Savarian Comet crossing the strewnfields of Dar al enGani. The dust particles that caused the meteor shower creating this image is of leftover debris from this passing comet. As the comet traveled close to the 6th Sun, its icy surface melted and left behind a cloud of dust. In the dust was this magnificant starfalopian tuber which was captured forever in this image. Psychodelica – Kaleidoscope started as a flame in Apo & an fractal in Incendia the taken into Photoshop and PWP. Used the Fractalius filter on various layers using blend modes. – – – – – - / – – – - / Light and Day – by Polyphonic Spree

A Plutonian Moondial by restlessd
This is a very rare instrument, a moondial used to measure time and space. This is actually the only one in existance at this time. / Legend has it that if you are able to read the calculations from the Plutonian Moondial and record them for a specified number of nights and then have a moonchild harmonize with a song bird in music that you will be given the power to see into the past and connect it to the best season to plant your artichokes. . . RestLeSsD 09 Best viewed larger for more detail. PS: This started out as a gone to seed artichoke bloom. Another in my series of Kaleidoscope images. In Photoshop I started with by using Fractalius and then created this in PWP. / Nox Arcana

Firefly Fantasy by Bunny Clarke
I remember as a kid, visiting my grandparents in the South. Being from Wyoming, I loved seeing the fireflies come out at night. My uncle was only four years older than I was so we would have great fun chasing and capturing the fireflies in a jar. Created in Incendia using a photo taken by a friend and made to look like an evening sky in Photoshop before using it as a background.

Aloha e Malama pono Sharon Mau SOLD / 01 June 2009 / 1x Poster Pa’ako Beach Makena Maui Hawai’i No post processing, it is really this beautiful! / Early morning light on Pa’ako Beach, Maui Hawai’i. / The island of Lana’i is visible on the distant horizon and Oneloa (Big Beach), Makena is in the distance on the right. The division between Big Beach and Little Beach was caused by a lava flow and earthquake in approximately 1790. The hill dividing the beaches is called Pu’u Ola’i or Earthquake Hill. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Currently with 2738 Views, _Mahalo :))) “At the northernmost corner of the Polynesian triangle, the Hawaiian Islands stand as a sentry for a collection of atolls, volcanic remnants, coral blocks and large islands that punctuate the region stretching to Aotearoa (New Zealand) in the south and Rapa Nui (Easter Island) in the east. Hawai’i is the newest landmass in Polynesia and the most isolated settled area on the globe, rife with unique ecosystems. Maui, sitting in the middle of the main Hawaiian island chain, is young geologically. Haleakala, still volcanically active in the 18th century and now considered dormant, rises 10,023 feet. The older and more eroded West Maui Mountains are 1.3 million years old. The tallest point at Pu’u Kukui – 5,788 feet – is one of the rainiest spots on earth. Ka’anapali is on the leeward side of these mountains of West Maui on the slopes facing the islands of Lana’i, visible on the horizon in this image and the beautiful island of Moloka’i.” Information Source Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date 30 September 2009 / This is a composite of two images taken on the same location at the same time stitched one over the other / Currently with 2826 Views

Beautiful Minds by Olga van Dijk
For accompanying music please click on / Beautiful Mind Theme There are four “minds” visible on this collage, but in the evening -under the chin of the “Left lower Mind” an other one is popping up. / A friend of mine, who is a psychologist, said that this is actually my family…. A couple of themes are always returning in my collages: / (sheet) music, post stamps, wood, keys, clocks and eyes. With this collage/painting I want to show my students how to work with the CENTER of INTEREST , (the heart of a painting, the focal point.) An implied triangle connection indicates where the activity takes place and will fascinate the viewer like a bulls-eye! / It will show what inspired the artist (Moi!) to create a scene on canvas with brushes, paints and other mixed media. Artists use a variety of techniques to enhance and emphasize the center of interest. / I used the tone and temperature of the color palette, values, details and abstraction, hard and soft edges, directional lines and patterns, living things, and shapes. The Upper left “mind” had a too strong of a shift in value contrast (the darkest dark’s and lightest lights). So I glued a transparent piece of paper over the eye part. It pushed back that object immediately, there where I wanted it to be. / Also my eye was traveling too much from left under to the upper right (diagonal.) / By placing two vertical lines (the black and white finger print line next to the ear upper left and down left) it calmed down my traveling eye. I hope you enjoy this blue toned collage (and its title) as much as I do. Abstract Collage/Painting on canvas. Measurements: 24X36 inches / (61.x91.4 cm)

Grieving Woman of the Costa da Morte" (Spain) by Olga van Dijk
Women on shore, looking at the horizon, comes in mind. / This fisher’s wife is surrounded by water/sea, which is her life, her living. / These women are always worried, always grieving because their men fathers, sons, brothers, husbands have their jobs in one of the most dangerous places. The sea took her love from her. / The nudity of this woman underscores her grief and suffering even greater. The netting of the fishers you’ll find throughout my painting, as well as many fisher’s boats. / On the right of the nude, there’s a compass. / There are also several sun rays filled with musical notes, which portrays that there’s always a silver lining in life. The grieving woman I ‘borrowed’ from Pablo Picasso’s “Blue Nude”. I think he would not mind. A passionated COLLAGE/OIL painting on (gesso-ed) watercolor paper
