In the Age of Digital Imaging, Creating a Derivative Image is Potentially Rewarding, Frustrating and/or a Lot of Work for Naught
A derivative work is one which is not only based on a previous work, but which also contains sufficient new, creative content to entitle it to its own copyright .
However, if the original, underlying work is copyrights protected , anyone other than that copyrights holder cannot LEGALLY create a derivative and market it, license it, and/or transmit it without the expressed written permission of the original copyrights holder.
This is an image I restored from a GLASS SLIDE I OWN, of which, I also thus own its copyrights.

Welcome back; let see what we can derive creatively.
nice job amac!
I really like that this work could be interpreted as either a sunrise or sunset.
please don't forget to vote this article up art lovers. tyvm
Wonderful 'more than' just a restoration.
Really beautiful.

Sit by my side, come as close as the air
Share in a memory of gray
And wander in my words
Dream about the pictures that I play
Of changes

Evening...
Autumn glory in my backyard..
It was my favourite season back in Canada, but it's not very colourful where i am now. Enjoy the view and the crispness in the air, Shona. Thanks for sharing it with us.
My latest grandchild arrived last weekend. A miracle of IVF.
Good thing that those who want to do away with IVF are not successful.
I really like this kids attitude...
If your not careful I'll dribble on you....LOLOLOL
Got a new plant yesterday and added it to the Wabi Kusa bowl where the other plant melted... Homalomena Sp. Sekadau South.

... nice doggie... heh, heh...

oh yeah.
Yeah.
Beautifully done, GG.
Thanks much, BotO.
Morning... love them both...
Thank you, shona.
Just as we were leaving the house yesterday afternoon, we saw this guy next to the driveway, so I got out of the car and took a couple of pictures. He was eating a lizard, and then, he slithered up the wall and disappeared on the hill.

yeesh, no thanks. this is the time of year when I'd be installing telecommunications for a homeowner and forget to kick the ped and one of these guys would slither out over my lap when I took the top off. not a fan of snakes...
That was just a harmless Garter snake, good for pest control. I haven't seen one for several years. The thing I don't want coming around is a rattlesnake, although they do live in the canyons and hills here.
classifying the type of serpent wasn't the first thing that crossed my mind as it slithered across my lap.
Wuss..
I'm already in a 40 year long war with spiders, why add another species conflict.
Morning G...that is one very nice looking snake and what a bonus non venomous and rodent control combined..
Unfortunately, we found a mouse nest today that the snake hadn't taken care of. This one was trying to swallow a live lizard. We have little lizards hanging out.
My wife is terrified of the snakes, even the harmless ones.
smart lady. didn't you get enough of reptiles in the music biz?
Yes, she is.
Ain't that the truth...
Morning...so I gather your wife won't be coming to the Great Southern Land anytime soon re the snakes..😁
I can honestly say they don't scare me at all, have the greatest respect for them and leave them alone in the bush etc..
But if they are in my backyard then they are fair game.. killed a few over the years but hated doing it...
can't you just pick them up and set them over the fence in a non-threatening and gentle way?
Absolutely...on the end of a long handled shovel..😁
that doesn't sound very friendly...
We were in Australia for about 3 weeks in 2008. We had a nice time. No snakes.
did you hire a local to interpret for you or just buy an oz slang dictionary?
Morning Devangy..nah don't need a dictionary we would just draw you pictures...😁😁
I'll save you the trouble and watch all the mad max and crocodile dundee movies on the flight over.
The best thing to do is just nod and smile, and pretend like you understand what they said.
my touring bicyclist friend told me that ozzies are absolutely the worst drivers on the planet. naturally I challenged him on that statement since he's never ridden in asia. today he starts his summer ride from naples to norway.
In Beijing and Shanghai the traffic was coming from every direction, but they all seemed to know what they were doing and I think I only saw one accident. Of course, they were all moving pretty slow. I wasn't driving, just a passenger.
That is a LONG ride.
he's insane. he rode from toronto to BC last year but didn't make it to vancouver because some farmer forced him off the road while passing him with a tractor and hay baler and he broke his shoulder. he's ridden across the US 3 times.
Snake (D.H.Lawrence)
"A snake came to my water-trough
On a hot, hot day, and I in pyjamas for the heat,
To drink there."
Hopefully a little creative English literature is welcome here now and then.
Around 6 weeks ago they finished the Japanese garden in the park next to us and we went over to see it. It uses rocks in place of water then to me I thought it was quite beautiful and just imagine what it will be like in a couple of years when it matures.
Yes, that's a huge turtle in the middle of the lagoon..
Oops forgot to add this one.
why didn't you ask that old guy to get out of your shot?
I was afraid that if I did that he would fall over trying to move.
ouch, I hear that... every time I stand up it sounds like gravel hitting the floor.
Don't get too close to that turtle, it could be a snapping one.
Forget the turtle, where are the crocs..
... under the rocks.
You could pretend you're Jesus and walk upon the water there.
I derive, therefore I am.

WOW!!! That is a fabulous derivative.
That is just beautiful, Mac.
Spectacular!
Spring is progressing. The oaks have started tasseling out with catkins, filling the air with that yellowish pollen that gets everywhere.
A cardinal in the snowball bush.
Irises.
Indigo buntings returned yesterday.
Eastern towhees have been back for a few weeks.
The hummingbirds have returned, too. They didn't visit the feeder while I was waiting with the camera, but some honey bees did.
April's bounty, asparagus from the garden. I've been getting about this much every two or three days.
The weather is still being freaky. It was hot like summer for a while, but now it's cool again, and there's been very little rain so far.
Garden time is fast approaching
Most of the potatoes I planted early survived the handful of frosts and freezes that happened after the warm winter fooled me, and they look like they're doing well. It's kind of weird to have those green, growing rows in the middle of an otherwise bare garden.
yikes. you need one of those highway maintenance tractors to cut the grass in that yard.
Couple of sheep would do the trick.. portable lawn mowers, free fertilizer and roast lamb...yum..
Watch out for those sheep. I just read an article, that I may post, about the sheep that killed the shepherds.
It takes several hours, usually split up over a couple of evenings, but it's really not so bad. A lot of it is open with nothing to mow around.
Arvo...if it was in NZ it was a pensioner couple it killed..
Was a ram and killed the man first and his wife went looking for him..the ram killed her as well and the police shot it...
Yep, a pair of 80-year-olds in NZ. It was a ram that did it. I'd venture that it rammed them, and I guess they couldn't dodge it. .
crickey, even the f'n sheep are killers south of the equator and west of the dateline.
We are all just one big food chain down here..not my photo..😁
wearing ozmani suits...
Here's how it happened being creative with Mopar Car names:
The Intrepid farmer Darted into the field like a Roadrunner, raising a Fury in the Ram. Possessed by a Demon, like a redeyed Hellcat, it became a Charger at this Challenger. The farmer made a Valiant effort to get away but ended up a Duster
LOL
Great photos, as usual. My wife's vegetable garden is a full year's occupation.
I kind of like having winters off, lol.
I don't think my wife wants to stop. Remember, she grew up on a farm and is not at all afraid of hard work so for her it's a labour of love.
Wonderful photos, as always, Dig. Your place is awesome!
I've seen the Northern Lights from my lakeside home in Ontario, but they were NOTHING compared to those.
Evening...oh wow they are stunning pictures..I thought they were paintings at first...
Never seen anything like those...we have the Southern lights (Aurora Australis) but nothing like that...
Not my photos...
nice
Saw similar sights from my time at McMurdo Station, Antarctica back in the late 80's. I will never forget them.
Morning Ed...it's feels like I am in Antarctica at the moment..just got up it's 5C and there is frost on the ground...got a magnificent sunrise though...
Just turned the heater on and waiting for the toast to cook..the first major decision for the day what to put on it...but think Vegemite will win..
I forget that the seasons are pretty much reversed from the Northern Hemisphere. It is getting on into summer here.
Morning...sigh..yes I know.. Summer seems so far away now..sob..
No sun, surf or sand for months here now being in the Southern State of Victoria..
I remember in 1990 I flew from California to Christchurch, New Zealand in May for a couple of weeks, courtesy of the US Government. It was nice and balmy and warm in Southern California, but in Christchurch it was cold, windy, and rainy. Good thing I had warm clothes with me.
just get one of those insulated wet suits, black, with black swim fins ...
You are not referring to me as shark bait by any chance??
That would look awfully like a seal..and a snack takeaway by jaws
Speaking of which a young boy got attacked y'day in South Australia.. Lucky he didn't lose his leg..
I just assumed the seals fed on the sharks down there in oz...
what was the kid doing in the surf during winter, making gazpacho?
Errr no not winter here yet..only half way through Autumn..same as you are half way through Spring..
Nahh the kid is fine..was just a few chomp marks so he will be right...
and a black rubber bathing cap with some insulated black gloves ...
wow, those look like clouds that G2 got a hold of.
You mean sort of like this?

I'm just playing along. There is no comparison between Kavika's photos, and shona's, too, and what I posted.
And you're doing a really good job of it, G.
yup.
Amazing.
Thanks to all, back Thursday night.
