Having Fun with Photoshop Neural Filters

Photoshop has a new feature where you can run an image through a filter to make it look like another style of art.  Top:  Sam in Greece with a neural filter from an old "at the beach" watercolor.  Bottom three: I took a photo of two roses in a blue vase, and ran that through a filter of an original fabric design, done in illustrator, of a Paenibacillus bacteria, and ended up with the 2nd to top image.  Endless possibilities!  So many ways to avoid housework!

It Rained Too Much at One Time!

Power lines down, streets closed, creeks close to overflowing; creeks which were completely empty one week ago.  Exciting taking photos in the storm (2nd from top pic shows rain falling, bottom shows drops on the window.) Mother nature is certainly a force to be reckoned with.
 

It Rained!

 and the leaves are falling!  Never been so happy to feel raindrops or welcome fall.
