The Northern Lights showing up way down south.
If you keep pestering me, you will see red after you turn out the light. Stupid Paparazzo!

Gone Postcard on these photos
I went to the field this morning, which gives you a different perspective on the balloons and the crowd. Since it was Tuesday, the number of people was about half of what they get on the two Saturdays and Sundays.
Abobe upgraded Bridge, Photoshop, and Camera Raw, and I got errors opening most of my photos. I finally gave up on troubleshooting the issue and processed the images in On1 Photo Raw.

Boogapony Holly with five outfits, hat, and shawl.
Resa at Graffiti Lux Art & More celebrated her 1500th post on Sunday. The post is full of wonderful drawings of Boogapony Holly, Holly’s poetry, her sister Boogalu Lulu, and excellent music videos, all telling a bit of history along the way. Boogapony Holly is one of Resa’s characters based on Holly at House Of Heart. Holly is one of my favorite poets. Holly is a doll.
Speaking of dolls, one of the coolest features of the post is a paper doll of Boogapony Holly and five outfits, a hat, and a shawl that you can print, cut out the doll and clothing, and try the different outfits on Boogapony Holly.
I printed out the doll and clothes, mounted the doll on cardstock so she could stand, cut out the clothing, and tried the different outfits on Boogapony Holly. They fit perfectly. I was so impressed with Resa’s skill and genius that I photographed Boogapony Holly in each of her outfits. There is one close shot and one shot with a background added for each outfit. The balloon photos are from Sunday’s mass ascension.
