🦉 I've been working away on The Parkways Projects up until a certain #albatross of reknown roosted. It's an estate almost coming to a closure. Life will be settled then ✨
Then, back to Art. 💙🌙

The Digital Hybrids are primarily linked directly to the Hybrid Works. Think of them as siblings... When finished, it will be one of the first five or six of my large Digital Hybrids to be available in print form. It's about 65% done as you see it here. Stay tuned, the Sea Oats are coming (far less dangerous than "the Sand Snakes of GoT), plus a few less recognizable architectural features! I'll be finishing this work up in a few weeks, and when done I'll do a Work in Progress string. The composition is built of three primary photographs. The central one an interior view, the outer views worked into place as a digital collage puzzle, in a way. Based on a place I've loved for years and years and years, yet, I've not seen it since these photos were shot there in March of 2023. The Ghosts Forests at Huntington Beach State Park have been growing faster (according to SCPRT signage) and I'm curious to get back there to see just how the salt water levels are settling. It's an eerie thing to behold. The composition is done, so far, in muted avocado greens and natural clay color, with rich deep reds in the bricks. Other elements are about to be added, almost as scrim layers on a stage, which will be foliage, trees, perhaps some of those scary sea oats!
"Atalaya Triptych," [work in progress] a #DigitalCollage (DCI) from the Digital Hybrid series, for 'The Parkways Projects." #TomOgburn I'm back, sort of in little dribs and drabs...

Usually I see Anhingas from afar, so I never realized how striking they are. #huntingtonbeachstatepark #anhinga

Have a beautiful evening. Fog here tonight so I am sharing a capture from last year at #huntingtonbeachstatepark
Painted buntings are members of the Cardinalidae family.
They are native to North America and are considered to be one of America's most colorful bird.
The males beautiful color pattern arrives after their first-year molt. Prior to then, they are indistinguishable from their mother.
These beautiful birds can be found in the Southeastern US, but on occasion, they can be found in the north, following a large storm that originated in the south.
Happy #FeatheredFriday friends. One of my favorite #birds to photograph while in SC is the Painted Bunting. One cannot come up with enough superlatives to describe how beautiful this fellow is. #BirdingSC #Nature #Photography #HuntingtonBeachStatePark
