Pineapple Dreams

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 27 June 2007 in Plants & Nature and Portfolio.

Does these little epiphytes ever dream of being a pineapple?

Please pray for Bella.

Bella Update: 10/14/08, Tuesday. Bella will see her doggie cardiologist today. We are hoping and praying he will find some healing/improvement in her heart/aortic valve condition. God is the one who heals and blesses.

Bella's miracle, the one we're all praying for, is still a day by day process; it may take a bit of time for completion. Bella's battle for life, wellness, and needed healing for her heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run. Bella and I thank you for joining her prayer "team" around the world. Each of you are truly special blessings to us.

Hi Viewfinder...excellent artistic post-processing! Love your commentary below your title...remind's me of Philip K. Dick's novel, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" I suppose if they have soul, they would. B-)

@{H} creatives: Thanks {H}... glad you like the way I tinkered with this image; I enjoy playing around with some of the settings on PS7 and I have an old Roxio program that can sometimes do some interesting things to images. As to the commentary I added, yes I suppose this was an offhand salute to the "Androids" novel -- although I had either Ray Bradbury or Isaac Asimov in mind, I think... [:^D

@HorseRotorVator: Thanks for the encouragement. As for pineapples growing, I'm waiting too. Pineapples are not only photogenic, but delicious when grilled...

Thanks everybody! I am really enjoying getting to know many of y'all by your amazing work at your own aminus3 (or other p'blog) sites. That you come to mine with words of encouragement is a blessing I'm very thankful for.
