LOL...great title, Autumn :D Fits it perfectly.
Great fractal too, Trée :D
Thanks Christa. I had much more lofty expectations for this image, but as soon as Autumn called it FLG I knew I could never get that idea out of my head. So rather than fight it, I'm going with the flow. :-D
LMAO, Sunshine, I just realized you had this Dr. Seuss quote in your comments on your current post! I found it elsewhere but how funny, not haha funny, but interesting funny is that. Small world after all. :-)
Indeed, it does bring Autumn straight to mind.
Oh, and sweetie, I've added you to my 'people' pages. K.
Alex, feels good to be one of "your people." :-D
I'm honored and touched and have the biggest smile on my face right now. Thanks for making my day with such a wonderful and unexpected gift. Much love to you sweetie. :-)
:-D
Afternoon, sweetums. Apologies for the loss of your lofty expectations ;)
Poppet doesn't mind at all. Flying Lump of Garlic it is! :-D
Ok, that looks exactly what you said it was. I don't know whether to be impressed or scared for my life (flying garlic just being a cover for a full-frontal attack by alien pods)
Good. Besides a lump of garlic is a wonderful thing, just think of the versatility, of the flavour it adds, of the impression it leaves behind :)
Jack, hadn't thought about it from the alien angle. You could be right.
Sunshine, I love garlic and it is one of the ingredients in my family spaghetti sauce recipe from Sicily. The sauce and the meatballs I make in the sauce, and anyone who has ever had it will agree, is to die for. Takes about six hours to make, most of which is the sauce cooking down and the meatballs cooking in the sauce. :-)
Sounds scrumptious!
Poppet says it's beyond scrumptious. Put it this way, in the last fifteen years I've been making this recipe, we have never had to throw any sauce or meatballs away. One of the interesting and key ingredients is sugar. This is one of the few red sauces you will have that is actually sweet.
Sweet! Just when I put in a plug for going over to you and look at your images too - I wonder if this will lead to a rash of food stories?
Not quite what I had in mind perhaps, but serendipity gives more interesting results at times.
So rather than fight it, I'm going with the flow.
Wise decision. Don't fight it. Sooner or later it'll smash you into a corner and tie you down there anyways ;)
Meesa made a new render again btw.
Øystein, that is just too funny. The good news is I have literally hundreds of images on my blog going back to last Fall. I'm sure somewhere there is something that sparks the imagination. Heck, my whole sci-fi story came to be from these images and that story is more than one hundred postings long. :-)
I look forward to seeing what some of your readers come up with. Thanks again for the link. Much appreciated.
Christa, I am just amazed at what you are doing with Vue. Your images really lend themselves to magical places. Superb work my friend.
Hey, if you want to start the conversation over on my place by linking to your own experiences with your sci-fi story, that would be cool :)
It's one thing putting down what I remember from when Iain Banks and I drank our way through the scotch selection of the hotel bar in Bergen, it's another to hear from the guy I'm pushing as an example :)
Well, not to hijack your audience, but if anyone else wants to chime in, the mike's open - and I don't use the nofollow tag on comments...
Øystein, done! Thanks for the suggestion.
COOL !! I love this image, and the title is sooooo perfect !! Trée, you've done it again.
Deb, soooooo good to see you around again. Thanks for the kind words. This image was done with the new version of Chaoscope. Very easy to use and can produce some rather interesting images, like my Flying Garlic--LOL. I think I'm going to name Autumn as my official fractal namer. :-D
Trée – I literally laughed out loud when I saw this picture and its name! I wonderful end to a stressful day – thanks!
Ann, glad to be of service. Stress relief is always a good thing. :-)
Stress puts us in a position to grow, but only during rest, relaxation and re-creation do we actually grow stronger and benefit from the stress that preceded. Continuous stress, without time to recover, only leads to eventual burnout, breakdown and early heart attacks.
Within cycling, training programs hold stress and recovery up as co-equals. I could talk for days on the science within the cycling community on how to recover but one thing is clear. No rest, no recovery, no growth.
By the way, although I didn't leave a comment I thought you hit the nail on the head with pure brillance with this passage from yesterday:
"Every case involved a problem that wasn’t being fixed.
Why?
As long as you’re killing yourself to overcompensate, no one sees that anything is broken!"
Ann, you are my blog find of the year. I would encourage everyone reading these comments to give Ann a visit.
Peace my friend.
you are too sweet! Time to go to sleep and rejuvinate! Hasta manana (hmmm - how do you do spanish letters? - a mystery for tomorrow!)
Sweet peaceful dreams Ann. :-)
Great image / great name! I really like the angle on this one as it is very different to what people usually choose to render.
Thanks Jenni. I originally saw the image of an Apollo capsule coming back to earth until Autumn pointed out it was really just a Flying Lump of Garlic. :-D
Sweet dreams, poppet :-)
Thank you sweetie. I'm on my way. :-) See you in 8.
hehe cute garlic!
yep that quote is so true!
I say it no matter what..u know that na :)
Keshi.
Thanks for the laugh! I'll remember it next time I'm peeling garlic!
Love the garlic!
It helps me to remember to keep laughing because sometimes those serious things just aren't.
And, congrats on the impending graduation! Mine was sure bittersweet (from my aunt-perspective).
"Flying lump of garlic". Almost fell off the chair...LOL!
I thought it was a capsized jelly fish.
Ahem, in fact, I'm not religious. I think when a person does not conform to any religious beliefs, he could be in a better position to embrace different perspective.
At this point of my life, loyalty to any one religion is too heavy a commitment my young mind can take.
Saffy, glad I could make you laugh today. As for Buddhism, although many see it as a religion and in your part of the world that is very much the case, I see it as a philsophical look into the mind and reality. I didn't mean to imply that either you or Keshi were "buddhists" in the religious sense but simply that you both have grown up in and around Buddhist teachings and culture and as such were much more likely to see the point I was attempting to make in the post below.
And, you both did, which delighted me to no end. Peace.
OB, our graduation is this Saturday in the cow barn--lol. I'm excited to be moving one more chick out of the nest, at least in the sense she is going to college in the Fall. :-)
Few things in life really matter, and most of what we think does, doesn't. I should tattoo that to the top of my hand since I'm very guilty of taking life too serious at times. But I'm getting better. :-D
Chicky! First time I read your comment I thought you said "peeing" garlic! LMAO. That sounded very painful. :-D
Keshi my dear, you live this quote. No doubt in my mind about that one and is one of the reasons I adore your blog. Peace.
Hot and ready as promised. :-D Happy Thursday!
Perfect timing. :-D
OMG! I've been making some very bad typos, I just had to re-read...phew!
Chicky, no typo, but my reading of peeling to be peeing was the best laugh I had yesterday. First time I read it I couldn't figure out how the heck you were peeing garlic. :-)
LOL. Autumn...PERFECT title!
Also love the quote Treé.
Thanks Linny. The Seuss quote is a classic.
LMAO! Perfect name Autumn.
Tree, I wonder your loftier expectations too.
Truly interesting creation. What odd dreams must swirl in your head. ;P
Aggie, sometimes, in my dreams, I think I'm half out of my mind. Ever have that feeling? :-D
