Global Warming is another several year old photo. I'd even deleted it, and then copied it back onto my system from the Picasa Web Album blogger automatically makes of all a blogger's posted images. It's been sitting since then in a miscellaneous folder of mine I call OTHER PHOTOS. A grab bag I dig through when nothing else calls me. The edit I made of it today was probably influenced (at least in it's title) by the thinking I've been doing about the glaring lack of discussion of environmental issues during the presidential campaigns. And how that may bode for any real action going forward.

Here's another edit of the photo, with the same slant, Global Warming II:

Visions of Future Past is a little over three years old and I've not done anything to it since. It was taken on one of the long walks I used to be able to go on. I'd come back with a camera -- the first one I had, that I find myself missing more and more -- full of pictures. Sometimes as many as one hundred or so. Can you tell I'm in a very nostaligic mood today? A nostalgia that's laced with a deep sadness that I can't take those walks anymore. I do try to focus on what I can still do, but sometimes the missing is just there, casting a shadow over everything.

The original photo source for Quilting Bee, above, is two years old; I just re-worked it today. I sort of like "Quilting Bee" but am only vaguely warmed by it.

Nor is the second version below, Fall's First Blush, that I also made today, any more stirring.

I blush to admit it but for some time now I've not been that happy with most of what I've been posting. I'd like to believe it's just S.A.D. (Seasonal Affect Disorder) that's effecting my moods and skewing my perceptions, but this remains to be seen (literally).

And to top off my grousing, here's the two year old original, that I just named Fantasia today:

Sweater Weather is over two years old, just cropped and re-colored this morning. Seems I'm rather drawn to the aqua/green color family right now (see yesterday's post below). Even though I dreamed of a translucent coral the night before last and one might think (this "one" certainly would) that means the orange/coral family would be calling to me. Of course, there's that "compensating function" to dreams, which is probably more to the point. Or, heavens forfend, there just could be no particular significance to my choice of colors at all.

I've mentioned here how rare it is and thefore rather meaningful for me to actually "see" color in a dream. Well, appropos of nothing to do with photography, I recently read an interesting theory. Those of us whose earliest dream recall years -- ages 3 to 10 -- were before color T.V. was developed, tend to dream more in black and white. I don't dream in strict black and white, it's more like sepia tones. But mostly, if I note color at all I usually just "know" what color it is without "seeing" it.

Worlds Within Worlds, above, was taken in February of 2010, but I just made this version of it -- the third -- this morning. Some pictures consistently tug at my imagination whenever I stumble across them.

Below, just for comparison's sake, is the untitled original:
