Well, there's that orange rock that looks like a slab of salmon... But maybe you mean the speckled thing below it that could be a bunny?Day 240 - August 28th - Challenge
What's that? Can you spot it? I could, at 3 meters distance and without my best glasses. The answer will very soon be posted in my playground thread

I didn't kiss him though. I already have my very own Prince Charmings

My DH was mowing the lawn when a very small toad appeared just in front of the sharp blades. Lucky toad

I just studied the forecasts. September will be back next weekNow cut that out! You skipped my two favorite months!
Mine, too — where I live the soil is warming up, pretty things starting to show themselves, air smells different, dryer, softer. Sky starts to stretch out, very blue - everything opening up again from winter. Best sunsets of the year. And the promise of summer.Now cut that out! You skipped my two favorite months!
That first misty image is glorious. Nice Hipsta edit, tooDay 235 - August 23rd - Misty morning vs Psychedelic afternoon
Just another day in our lives have passed. Mixed moods as always

Day 228 - August 16th - Dizzy walk
Unbelievable as yesterday I had so much stomach pain that we almost called an ambulance.
The temperatures, the color of the leaves and most of all Halloween. I don’t mind winter that much.
We’re having a heat wave. 90s predicted for the next 5 days.Day 247 - September 4th - Having fun in the sun
Fantastic weather. Almost like summer. And it’s going to be like this for several days. We’re excited and maybe even sunstruck

Something I struggle with while “punching up” reality is the over-saturation of skin tones. So I have to end up masking skin and treating it differently. There are things that our brain does in the moment (Wow, that’s a great moment) that it won’t do later for a photo (That’s so flat).
True. My husband’s face gets a ”Mediterranian” look
Using “vibrance“ instead of “saturation” isn’t supposed to affect skin tones. Unfortunately not all apps offer that option.True. My husband’s face gets a ”Mediterranian” look
Right, but raising contrast also raises saturation, with no Vibrance option. That’s why I say I have to adjust the skin separately.
I have to admit I’ve never noticed increasing contrast increases saturation. Ya learn something everyday.
When I looked at your middle image I thought of the Creedence song, “looking out my back door”Day 249 - September 6th - The calm after the ”storm”
Today my DH has been away working at his old workplace. I had been looking forward to a whole day on my own. But the day turned out to be a real mess. Technical issues and health-related problems. Late in the afternoon I finally got out for another walk, to compensate for an interrupted morning walk. Back home I made myself a huge coffee and sunk down in a chair out on the porch. I felt much better.
My view from the chair:
