” Sugar Magnolia, blossoms blooming
Heads all empty and I don’t care
Saw my baby down by the riverside
Knew she’s have to come up soon for air
We can have high times if you’ll abide
We can discover the wonders of nature
Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside
She’s got everything delightful
She’s got everything I need
Takes the wheel when I’m seeing double
Pays my ticket when I speed
She comes skimming through rays of violet
She can wade in a drop of dew
She don’t come and I don’t follow
Waits backstage while I sing to you
She can dance a Cajun rhythm
Jump like a Willys in four wheel drive
She’s a summer love in the spring, fall and winter
She can make happy any man alive
Sugar Magnolia
Ringing that bluebell
Caught up in sunlight
Come on out singing and I’ll walk you in the sunshine
Come on honey, come along with me
She’s got everything delight
She’s got everything I need
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight
Lazing in the sunlight, yes indeed
Sometimes when the cuckoo’s crying
When the moon is half way down
Sometimes when the night is dying
I take me out and I wander around
I wander round” — Lyrics & Melody by Robert Hunter & Bob Weir / The Grateful Dead
No. I didn’t write this song, but it felt appropriate for the picture. It is, in fact, a magnolia blossom that I worked on very heavily. I used my normal post production tools, plus some new apps that do stuff. One adds strange old school colors to the picture. The other adds what the makers call bokeh.
It’s not true bokeh, which is used to describe the background sharpness of a photograph. Instead, it’s just stuff. Nice shapes that you can brighten and lower in intensity. In short, another filter. A fun filter.
That’s it. No Cvid update. Just Fun Friday.
Stay Safe. Enjoy every sandwich.
