Continue to Soar: Tulip Art Sculpture


Had to capture a close-up of this gorgeous, symmetric tulip-flowered sculpture in the Embarcadero Center. The tall skyscrapers lend the perfect backdrop, a mix of work and play.

Let it Glow Imagery: Fireflies' Glorious Lights


Fireflies Imagery Part I: Fireflies are so beautiful, but a rare sight!

I've never seen them in person, but recently saw some surreal firefly images and was so inspired by its beauty and eccentricity that I decided to create my own. This was originally a photo from a botanical garden but after enhancing the contrast, sharpening, darkening, and adding other effects to the image, I included the glowing yellow fireflies and its emitting lights in the surrounding area to create this imagery. These artsy firefly lights resemble bright sunflowers in the distance.

Classic Stroll with Hint of Surprise


While strolling northeast on an overcast day, I noticed this luminous building that offered such stunning reflections of nearby buildings, trees, and more. I adored it so much that I took multiple pics in different angles. But what I did not notice (until I reviewed the photo later) was that there was also a reflection of the Space Needle! Such an unexpected surprise. I also decided to add a pale pink filter to the photo to liven up the fresh winter-spring vibe.
