Monkey jumping from tree to tree by the Orinoco river, Venezuela.

I know this doesn't qualify for the CC but it seemed perfect despite the format.

hey..wanna see my Tonsils?

playing with shades and colors I made the beautiful Pax Amicus Castle on Budd Lake look like the entrance to the Emerald City. "There's Emerald City! Oh, we're almost there at last! At last! It's beautiful, isn't it? Just like I knew it would be!"

Follow the Yellow Brick Road!!! A beautiful red brick path in one of our township's park becomes the yellow brick road with some warmer temperature colors and HSL filter.

watch out for Flying Monkeys!

"And in da name of da the Lollipop Guild, we wish to welcome you to Munchkinland." (I started out with lollipops, couldn't find a background I liked, and somehow it ended up looking like an ad.)

If you look closely, there are two Munchkins hiding in the foliage.

I have a small collection of Oz-ania. The Wicked Witch is a favorite, probably because she used to scare me. The strange object in the foreground is one of the Cows of Oz. The full size versions were part of a Kansas City art project.

Yes, there is an Enchanted Highway. The website to look at is: http://www.enchantedhighway.net/ for more information. Wonder if this is where Tin Man came from?

Took a photo I got of the houses in East Jersey Olde Village and changed the colors with HSL filter to make munchin land and the land over the rainbow.

The Wicked Witch of the West was going to a great party! It was oct/31/2010 in Frankfurt, Germany.

He loves his toys and sometimes fills his doggy bed.

I painted this in photoshop and then textured it. This is an original artwork created by Me.

My Chihuahua Mekro Agori running to me. Just happened to catch him in mid-air.

After heavy rain the sun broke out for just a few minutes. This vivid rainbow appeared, and I took several photos.

Spooky....Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

Seen over the UK. Not so much over the rainbow as under one. I promise I haven't turned the photo round - you can just see my house in the bottom right corner

This really was a sight to see

I can see better from up here.

I don't know about you, but seeing those flying monkeys really creeped me out! I saw it, too, on the big screen when it was re-released and they were even creepier!

in the grass. Thank goodness they never came across this guy! (Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!)

Being brave- or cowardly- sure is tiring!
