Born Again Barn
I really (really really) like playing with Photoshop. This barn has great morning light on it to begin with, but I couldn't help but exaggerate the textural quality by giving it a filter called posterize. Posterization converts a continuous gradation of value (lightness or darkness) to several regions of fewer values, with abrupt changes from one value to the next. Hence a "poster-like" effect.
It never hurts to have a reasonably good image to start with, but with special effects you can sometimes make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. As someone who used to raise actual sows, this is just as much fun, and smells considerably better.

Five Hours Later
We wait all year for a little snow, and it's gone way too soon!*
*Some may not agree. I don't want to hear it.

Portent
These two turkey vultures landed in the loft of our barn, and spent an inordinate amount of time staring meaningfully at us. Is there something we should know???

Lockdown
The Illinois coronavirus lockdown has been extended another 30 days, to April 30.
We may all be a little nuts by the time this ends. Luckily, there are precedents for crazy artists. I'll be in good company.
