Self -Portrait in Random Light

I would love to claim I saw all of this, but that would not be true, only the point of view is mine, the color is a random event, but from what?

A new Purpose

To paraphrase Sean Connery's character in "The Great Train Robbery",(a terrific film)" I saw the photograph, so I took it."

Reality and the Tree Next Door

Early morning, after a hard winter (February,actually) I looked out my door and saw my neighbor's tree. Beautiful early morning light falling on white blossoms. On my way to the car to drive to work I took some time to "smell the roses" photographically. Blue sky and white blossom, ah serenity.
To present something to you that even remotely approaches what I saw, however, became an exercise in overcoming. You see the camera (the trusty G5) and I did not agree at all. Where I saw white blossoms it saw reddish pink, where I saw white houses it saw bluish ones. We wrestled in RAW and LAYERS and came to an accommodation.
Be careful, the camera has it's own set of eyes.
