It's Morning ... sorta

As the header said, it's morning (or at least what passes for morning in my world) and I'm up and writing in the blog.  Part of the reason it's so late is that I had trouble tearing myself away from the Kaleidoscope Kreator program.  (C'mon, honey --- insert whiny voice here --- just one more try.  I'll come to bed really soon ... really ... just one more ...)

Anyway, I had a great deal of fun and cannot wait to show you some of my favorites. 

This first one is from a picture of a canal at night with one of its bridges lit.  The kaleidoscope wedge is appropriately called sun rays.

I call this one "Animal Horns" from the light blue horn shapes created from a part of a spiral.  This decoration is from the steppe peoples and is thousands of years old.  The photograph is from a Buddhist stupa decoration. 

I'm tempted to call this one "Devilled Egg Plate" for obvious reasons.  Well, obvious to me, that is.

This last one is taken from a painting made by an elephant.  There are elephant rescues in many parts of the world and the paintings are used to raise money for the rescue's work.
