This cute little oreo-like dragonfly was the subject of our week's challenge for contrast.  I sat on an upturned bucket and waited for him to land on my side of the stake.  
 

 Flowers are the subject of the photo challenge.  I had some nice photos of beebalms, butterfly weeds and Stella d'oro Lillies, but Dennis picked this one.  So I used this one which is our Oakleaf Hydrangeas.  They have just started blooming out.  In the fall the leaves turn nice fall colors too.   

 Pomona Reservoir sunset.  This week was wide angle.  It's been so long since the wind was still enough to get a reflection.  Also I had to edit out the swimming area floaters, since the water is so high, it looked like the swimming area was in the middle of the lake. 

 Kevin posed for this week's challenge, liquify.  I squeezed his face and elongated it.  Then used the oil paint effect to make it more like a painting.  This is my version of Edward Munch's "The Scream".
