The one word that comes to mind when I look at this photo is Orange. Thus; the title. I guess some other words come to mind like delicious and candy, but they didn’t seem very fitting for a title. / This is a Thunnergia Alata and is usually found in a lemon yellow color. It really grabbed my attention as I passed by, so I spent a while trying to get a composition that would highlight its striking color and texture. / I have been told by other RB’rs that this flower is also known as the Black-eyed Susan. I took the photo during the early afternoon with very bright sunlight, but the flower was in the shade. / I used an Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm lens at f-3.5, Sp 1/400 with -3 exposure compensation and ISO 100. / /
Some gorgeous roses that I bought for myself, hehe… I thought the orange color was appropriate for summer…
Another stage in the life cycle.

Across the sea at which it stares / Brings fading hope for polar bears / Ice habitat that once was theirs / Is now destroyed by all our wares / / Ice home where polar bears roamed free / Melt quickly now into the sea / Despite their size and majesty / Their home now they are forced to flee / / Once great white kings of white empire / Move now they must, despite desire / The dangers real, the dangers dire / To stay means that they’ll soon expire What have we done to these poor souls / Filled air with gas and ozone holes / Exploited earth without controls / In our pursuit of selfish goals / / The polar bear’s last legacy / Will rise up from the future sea / To swallow shores that we must flee / Our own homes now… floating debris / / This mixed media artwork was inspired by a documentary on the PBS ‘Nature’ series about how polar bears and grizzly bears may soon be headed for a showdown over habitat. As global warming continues, grizzly bears are migrating northward trying remain in the climate they are accustomed to. At the same time, polar bears are being forced to make forays inland, away from the arctic shoreline, in an effort to supplement the food sources they normally rely on. Polar bears normally depend on sea-ice to hunt for their primary diet of seals. / / The sea ice is freezing later and thawing sooner each year at an alarming rate. If polar bears are unable to adjust and adapt to foraging on land for their food, they may very well be extinct within two or three generations. / / It has already been determined with scientific certainty, that it will take over a thousand years to reverse the damage we have done to the atmosphere with our man-made greenhouse gases from our industrial pursuits… and that is only if we stopped producing all these gases today. The arctic ice sheet will be non-existent in as little as ten years, and it WILL be non-existent, as that damage is irreversible at this point no matter what efforts we take today to curtail it. It is already too late to save the polar bears natural habitat. / / This artwork serves as a reminder to us all of the destruction we have caused, and continue to cause, to the other inhabitants of our planet that have just as much a right to life here as we do… if not more. Each time you make an unnecessary trip in your car, or leave a light on in a room where you are not, may ultimately be the difference between another species either surviving or becoming extinct. Remember the ‘butterfly effect’ in every action you take during every moment you take it! / / Anyway… I apologize if this seems like a rant, but it really makes me angry!! I have loved and respected the polar bear since I was very young. This beautiful animal, huge and powerful, and capable of enduring in the most extreme conditions on the planet… and now the only thing that my grandchildren may know of them is from an old picture of what we once had. / / The last of the sea ice in the artwork is a fractal I created in Incendia. The ‘north pole’, background gradient, sun, and foreground sea were all created individually in Photoshop. The image of the polar bear mother and her cub are from a public domain image from the US Fish & Wildlife Service. I have included a link to this image below. / / Polar Bear with Cub – US Fish & Wildlife Service / http://images.fws.gov/default.cfm?fuseaction=records.display&CFID=1672837&CFTOKEN=51517135&id=CB065014-1143-3066-400D4EF727A18D95 The artwork elements were then layered together in Photoshop. The original is 3600×6000 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / / /
