Three Muses - Bird

Background is a collage of bits and pieces from various paintings of the 1700s.  Bird is from my stash.

Take a Word - Roses

A collage of image and hands with message from vintage card.

Digital Whisper - Grandpa

A lifetime of memories written in the wrinkles on his face, this is someone's grandpa in some distant city.  Who knows the images captured by those weary blue eyes, and who knows what stories that battered hat could tell?  He sits on the corner with his cronies,  exchanging stories of what used to be, a cloud of pipe smoke encircling them all.

Three Muses - Window

He's sure to find a good home today, don't you think?

Take a Word - Butterfly Unexpected

Unexpected passenger!

Sunday Postcard - Zebra

A couple of images found separately and collaged to create a mother/baby scene.

Digital Whisper - Indian Princess

Image is of Pretty Nose, a Cheyenne woman.  Quote is an Indian proverb, not sure of tribe.   Background is partial of a map of the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Three Muses - Wild Things

This might be titled "Concrete Jungle Reclaimed".   The background photo is of the abandoned Palace Theater in Gary, Indiana, taken by my daughter.  I've added the leopard and the vine.   Since the steel mills have closed in the 60's, steel workers left the city in droves, and much of what was once dubbed "The City of the Century" stands abandoned and falling into disrepair.  One can almost imagine it will one day revert to a jungle like the ancient city of Angkor Wat in the jungles of Cambodia.

Take a Word - Blue and Green

Digital Whisper - Umbrella

 I sailed an orange umbrella
In a dark and driving rain
My squadron sailed behind me
Above the bounding main
Fate looked grim and fearsome
For my hearty mates and me
I was happy when I woke up
It was all a dream, you see.

Three Muses - Hats and Crowns

This is a reprise for this portrait.  It seemed to fit the challenge.

Take a Word - Botanical

Digital Whisper - Waterfall

The Falls of the Ohio River at Louisville, Kentucky, in triptych.
