Greetings fellow podkind!
It has been a long ten months since my last post, during which my cybercondom broke
and a virus wiped all of my executable files. Fortunately my data and image files were still intact,
but everything normally stored within the programs themselves,
(i.e. - custom brushes, shapes, gradients, styles, etc.) all of that was gone forever.
Now I periodically copy those internal folders to a backup drive for safe keeping.
All in all it was a rather distracting and uninspired year for me. It has taken some time to rediscover the wonder.
A recent short trip to S.E. Alaska helped, as has an increasing amount of quality posts here in the fora.
Esteemed acknowledgements and gratitude to all. I have been modestly motivated to return to the flow.
Like getting on a bike after not riding for some time, it is a little wobbly at first. Here are a few recent attempts...

while building this next image I was pondering my missing brushes...

ever wonder what you would see if the stuff inside your eyeball was visible?
floaters

world made of stars
sagittarius A ~ dancing at the core of the galaxy

invisible sun

fire water earth and air

with a slight tweak to the last image, I happened upon this...
