    Spiny tree in the Bonsai Gallery at Heathcote Botanical Gardens. No one wanted to get poked, so I volunteered to light it.

Some magical images there ww, please keep going.

I love the skull for a bookmark in the Caravaggio and the wonderful lighted banzai tree with the hint of purple in the background.

    The bonsai tree is a Pithecellobium from Brazil. The big P. dulce was a popular street tree in PR when I was a kid, but it fell out of favor for being really vulnerable to wind, or just plain falling down. There's a couple of small ones native to the Keys.
    Probably the most beautiful tree in the Gallery is a jaboticaba, the tree famous for having grape-like fruits on its older branches. It took me a long time to appreciate that its crown is shaped a lot like a cloak, with the front open so you can appreciate the tree's body.
The skull is with Saint Jerome, who "revised" the old Latin version of the Bible. His biggest decision was to translate the Jewish Bible from the Hebrew rather than the Greek translation that the New Testament writers used. His project was well financed and he set up a sort of Bible institute in Bethlehem. The Latin Bible gets official revisions, but it's basically Jerome's words that Catholics used for many centuries. Getting to see top Caravaggio paintings was worth the trip. I really enjoyed walking the streets.

The lighting technique the masters used sets them apart from all others in my opinion. It gives a haunting, yet appealing touch to the already exquisite craftsmanship.

    Caravaggio almost single handedly invented dramatic lighting. He was a sensation, Rome's best-paid painter until he killed someone and had to flee.
    That Madonna of Loreto showing off her huge baby Jesus (above Jerome with the skill) is very highly regarded. After it, he kept getting more theatrical/dramatic, which some like, others not so much. The painting was in a church around the corner from my little hotel room. Some construction work was going on next to it, lighting was awful, and I could see the painting better through my camera's electronic viewfinder than I could with naked eye. My photo probably doesn't have quite enough contrast, but just having it (no flash, no tripod) is something of a miracle.
I
    saw the Colonna palazzo, which was exquisite with very good art. Then the Borgia villa. They had the Caravaggios and incredible Bernini sculptures. Those works have been in the villa ever since they were made. Here's Bernini's David with someone else's painting of David with Goliath's head.
Caravaggio's David. The head is said to be a self portrait of the artist.
    Laocoön and his sons. He was a Trojan priest who offended Apollo (in Virgil's Aeneid, by warning about the Greeks' wooden horse), so he and his sons were done in by Apollo's serpents. The statue group is supposedly ancient, but it was restored by a young Michelangelo. No one knows exactly what Michelangelo did.

    Fun with caladiums. They shouldn't be up at the end of December, but the weather was warm. This is at night, with small colored floodlights aimed upward from under the leaves.

The flamingo started life as a welded metal flower pot holder. It was transformed with white LED lights, carefully painted coral pink or yellow. One remains white, as the flamingo's eye. The caladiums in back have little floodlights shining up through the leaves. Heathcote Botanical Gardens, Fort Pierce, December.

    Another Wedge, June 3 2021. Not a great photo but the ominous color seems apropos.
    Video grab. 60º water, about 60º air, this guy was skinning it. Old school: DaFins not Yucca.
    This video was taken a few mnutes earlier. The yellow-tipped fins disappearing into the top of the wave are the same bodysurfer. BTW, the wave was not ridable. The swimmer at bottom (I think a lifeguard on break) ducked under.
    Recent re-edit of a fuzzy old photo from Wabasso (currently closed for beach nourishment).

Southwest at sunset
    About the only charming buildings at Big State U, dorms from 1920s and after WWII. The one at the center of the photo was built with generous donations as Big State's Athletic Dorm. Once it was built, the faculty voted to not allow athletic dorms. There's never been an official one since, but I lived across the stair landing from a basketball guy and above a gymnast who made it to the Olympics.

    The round windows are Nagakin Capsule Tower. The idea was that the frame of the building would be permanent, but capsules, each with a round window, could be removed and replaced as needed. It was intended to be a sort of elegant crash pad for office workers who were expected to be in central Tokyo, late, but whose homes were way out in the 'burbs. It's now being demolished.
.
    More Newport Beach. Waterfront promenade going through backyards.

Nice to live close to the Air Show.
A cat photo was inevitable.

    A couple of recent edits. First, Villa Borghese in Rome. The god Apollo turning Daphne into a bush. Of course there's also a real group of bushes whose scientific name is Daphne.
    Around the corner, a plaster statue of John the Baptist by a young Jean Antoine Houdon, who had won a scholarship to a sculpture training program in Rome. He went on to become a favorite maker of portrait busts and statues, including a trip to the young US to do George Washington. The statue is in the Capitol in Richmond, with bronze copies all over.
    Backyard, bromeliad 'Little Harv' flowering.

Recent re-edit of a Wedge photo. Not entirely sure I like the shiny look of the wetsuit and the face may be over-processed, too.
Here's the full image, also recently re-edited for better contrast.
    This photo was shot in June 2021. Topaz has been updating its editing software ever since. This image was well focused and caught the movement effectively despite a "slow" ISO of 250. But it's fuzzy, with a lot of fine noise. So editing helps.
    Here's the head in the original version (transferred from RAW to jpg format):
    And an edit that seems overprocessed to me:
    An edit that seems as good as I can get, except for the patch of fuzzy hair on the head. Thats a problem with the software's "face recognition." Leaving a bit of noise/grain gives the face a better look. I'm not an expert photo editor. More like an idiot with toys. Still surprised that a camera with a tiny sensor (a quarter the size of an old 35 mm film camera image/Kodachrome slide) can produce images that can readily be enlarged to 13 inch and more prints

    Yucca's selling "creamsicle" fins. The in-house padding isn't available in Gator blue. Nor Carolina blue. Aqua or navy.
      Useful sticker for a two-stringer board.
    The new board
    As you can tell from the checked boxes, it's pretty basic except for 2 stringers. Cheap slick on the bottom.

    A real, cheap Japanese woodcut print from somewhere in the 1800s, not a reprint (note the fold lines). It shows a traditional snow party, but with a revolutionary innovation: thanks to imported Dutch books, Japanese artists had learned European perspective and quickly enjoyed using it. This print is an excuse to play with perspective
.
    Japanese artists got widely familiar with European-style perspective from Dutch books around 1800, well before the revolution that opened the country up and set off a wild period of commerce and creativity. This is a wonderful, and very cheap, case of tradition meeting innovation.

A bit of fun. I spotted a ghostly pattern on a sidewalk, obviously made by a pressure washer with something serving as a mask.
    Here was the mask, a door mat.

At beaches, look for beach stars. They spread by underground stems toward the ocean; they're in the first row of plants onshore. Cyperus pedunculatus, found on tropical beaches worldwide. In Florida, the northern range limit was in Indian River Co., but it's been collected at Patrick in recent years.

The bodyboarding Hubbard brothers' business, Hubboards, has a new color for one of its staples: swim fin pad/tether. The tether snaps locked and free with a little plastic closure on each foot. Insert and press to lock, press both sides of the closure and pull to unlock. Fast and easy.

    In Fort Pierce, the Heathcote Garden of Lights is materializing. Mostly Friday and Saturday, starting the day after Thanksgiving. The top photo is probably the best I did this season. But the parrot might need more work.

    What you clean a beach with. Sea grapes weren't bothered by the Nicole salt spray. A few days later, Vero South Beach was immaculate.
    It's a specialized Beach Raker company. That machine, with its sand rake, lives at South Beach Park and serves all the town's beaches.
