I don't know why Apple keeps messing with things when they force upgrades, but I find they have ruined my ability to try to fine tune the color in photos, giving me fewer choices, dumbing me down. This painting of the Willamette is much more blue than the blue-green that shows up here, and it was a major element in why I wanted to paint this, so it's disappointing that it doesn't show that way. In searching for the right blue, I decided to try mixing Prussian blue with Manganese blue, and it really was just what I was after. That's a combination I may want to hang onto.
On a recent morning walk up Oswego Creek, I came across a Great Blue Heron taking a peaceful break. The dog wanted to lunge across the stream and give chase, but I held her back and finally the heron decide we were just too annoying, so it spread its huge wings and relocated downstream a bit.
