"The Middle Men"

Just as the opening introduction says, "It's too nice to stay inside". So, here's something I've been toying with over the last few days. I'm looking for my bathing suit and then I'm going up to the pool. Later!

"Dreaming of Summer Sun"
digitally manipulated film still by Mick Mather

I was noodling around with a new filter and more than a few of the old ones during my vacation that is now, sadly, crashing to a close. Another fact of life here in my part of the world is the amount of sunshine we've been having - yes, temperatures are still cold, but it's a joy to see that big, yellow thing in the sky. So, as the buzz of another spring begins to build I'm already deep into visions of sun, sand and pretty girls at the beach and a classic tune by the Beach Boys.
