And now for something different, a silent video of a skipper butterfly I saw September 14th 2025. Yes, I know it is mostly plants, but the butterfly is there, doing nothing very interesting.
Sometimes you need a moment of rest and relaxation.
I wanted to make something for Pinterest, but of course, it should be here, too.
This is a color saturated bubbles rendering of a close up view of tree bark I photographed this month (August 3rd) in Berkeley. Unfortunately, I have forgotten which tree.
After processing the photo for different versions (maybe one or more of them will make it to POD designs), I uploaded this image here and copied the planktonpunkt.com image link to Jigsaw Explorer to make a puzzle.
I have become more active on jigsaw puzzles and other short form posting, because I am now also in Pinterest, and as I make designs there, some of them seem to lend themselves for jigsaw puzzles, which I post here and on Pinterest.

Other photomodifications may make print-on-demand designs, whereas others might go to commercial jigsaw puzzle site.
