There have been so many really wonderful "eyes" entries that I almost didn't post this. But, darn it - this was the very first thing that popped into my head when I saw the list. Maybe it's the Irish in me but I just had to go with it.

Whew !
The weather has been uncooperative for the shot I planned. My back up one was only so-so because my model was too. The SOOC on this was just fine but darn it, I imagined it like this when I was dodging the cars and I was determined to present it like this.
The subject was mostly "enhanced" via The GIMP. The background is a result of one of my favorite "fun" filters. FACE FILTER is an odd one. It paints the picture in real time on your screen with a selection of "brushes". It's fairly quick too and can be found at http://face.haluska.sk/ There's nothing to download or sign up for and I found it on the Google Experiments page.

I don't like to think of this as an omen or harbinger of what I expect from my Congresscritters and current administration. It actually is a sign though, so read it and weep make of it what you will.

My life, as I knew it ended in late 2016. But sometimes, the end is just a beginning.

Near the end of 2016 I dropped out of the WPP due to an unexpected divorce. I used the rest of that year and most of the last one to recover.

I was able to understand, eventually, that the end of anything is also the beginning of another thing. With that is mind I came up with this to begin my WPP2018 album.
