This is gorgeous, Jan, and I'm going to feature it. Thank you for entering The Surreal Circus Photoshopping Contest!

(Did you happen to check the "cheat sheet" in my article?)

I didn't have time until this afternoon, just now. I don't think this image of mine fulfills all the properties illustrated in the other photos. It does have a dreamlike quality and I did superimpose words on it.
I've been thinking today about how I might try to do another entry in a different way. Thanks for the feature, Ann. Hope you get lots of amazing entries.

wow, I love this, Jan. I don't think I can grow Foxgloves here; I did buy some seeds a few years ago when in Williamsburg, but they did not do much, nor did the Hollyhocks.

Really great, Jan.

I shot these at a house in the Oakland hills where I attended a writing workshop last Sunday. Oftentimes our weather in Fall is springlike, hence the spring flowers blooming in November. I have some anemones blooming in the front yard now.

Great piece of Art Jan! Surreal indeed. Also interesting considering that there is speculation that digitalis poisoning was responsible for some of the Impressionist / Expressionist manifestations particularly in painitng notable in in the latter part of the 19th century, and even more specifically the work of Van Gogh because it screws up one's vision.
