Aloe Flower Stalk

I just posted an attempt at "arty-farty" using a photo of an aloe flower stalk that has slowly been growing and opening out on my patio over the last month or so. I tried to create the feel of an old photograph with toning suggestive of age and the addition of noise to suggest the graininess of old photos. Hope you like it.

See this photo of the aloe flower stalk in my slideshow gallery for artistic interpretations.

And of course cards, prints, and custom framing of this photo of an aloe flower can be ordered through Imagekind.

So just one more day and it's Thanksgiving here in the United States. For the 8th year running, I will be celebrating with a group of friends who take turns at hosting. This year Karen is up to bat. Here are a couple of photos of the wonderful Thanksgiving table Juan put together last year: Thanksgiving Table Photos. No pressure, Karen! And Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!
