Neighborhood Walk Shots - Two Reflection Shots

The above was captured at Waller Park; below is a bookmark facing the other direction across the pond:

Neighborhood Walk Shots - Flowers on Fence

Thought this made a pretty good bookmark.  Did a little repair work on the fence...

Neighborhood Walk Shots - Blue and Red Flowers

One of your more traditional flower shots, this was just off the sidewalk trail next to a playground.  Amazing what a little sharpening will do...in spite of the fantastic clarity offered by the D850's sensor combined with the walkabout lens normally attached, I routinely increase the sharpness by 50% at 4px radius in Photoshop.  The exception would be portrait-type stuff, which gets only 25%, and architecture shots, which are increased 100%; both still at 4px.

Neighborhood Walk Shots - Waller Park Viewing Dock

Reminiscent of this post from Kickerillo, which was also a picture of a viewing dock through trees.

Neighborhood Walk Shots - Rabbit

Now for a little wildlife, animal-wise.  As noted in this post, these guys are everywhere around the neighborhood, and are skittish only when dogs and hawks get close.

Another view below of same:

Neighborhood Walk Shots - Indian Blanket Bookmarks

If you'll also note from the post of 09/26/20, it says and I quote, "Think I see a bookmark in the future of this guy".  Well, here they are...

Neighborhood Walk Shots - Indian Blanket with Psychedelic Gradient Backgrounds

Still playing with and learning about gradient backgrounds in Photoshop.  Think these two give it a 60-ish, psychedelic look, when the flower children had posters like this up on their walls...

Walk Shots - Indian Blanket Flower, Again

Do you see the difference between this flower and the one posted on 09/26/20?  Yes, the one posted a couple of years ago was missing a petal, and I repaired it for today's post.  Of course, since the colors are so vivid and bright I had to replace the foliage with a black background:

Also played with gradient backgrounds some to create the frame below, as well as the two to be posted tomorrow:

Houston Back Yard Landscaping - Swiss Char (I think)

As a last post of our back yard landscaping and yard shots, this is one from the venerated garden described a few days ago.  Some of the leaves are a little under the weather, but decided that they were intact enough to make this a keeper for a bookmark.

Next we'll be moving on to some neighborhood walk shots that have been resurrected and dusted off to be made into blogworthy pics...

Houston Back Yard Landscaping - Flower with Ruffled Petals

As in the pics posted just a few days ago (on the 10th and 11th), the symmetry of this one made it a candidate for a square picture.  And also as in the pics posted just a few days ago, decided to apply both black and gray backgrounds:
