Ritva has given us the challenge of abstract photography.

I start with some swirls of color that are reflecting off a gold Christmas ornament.

The image below is a scene next to a pond in my senior community, created with the help of an app I have on my phone, Snapseed. It’s fun to play around with!

Chicago Botanic Gardens has a holiday light show every year. There were strings of colored lights to walk through, which were also blowing in the wind so they have this cool blurry look.

My car’s right front light from this angle looks like an eye, complete with eyeball!

I got this effect by taking a photo of a glass of water distorted through a carafe of water!
