Messenger (Page 3): Thanks, Val. I'll have Martian send you some, but be careful with it--a little goes a long way. (I myself think he used a bit too much on this particular hibiscus...

Martian certainly had a bad batch of plutonium to make a flower look like that. It will stand out in his garden and if he has any spare I could use it on my flowers to make them stand out in the village St Day in bloom comp.

Very good Randy....

And don't drop it, whatever you do! ; )

Thanks for your kind words and visit, always very much appreciated!

Thanks, Jack. The good news is that the Kitty Council is not here to help us, nor are they out to make our lives better, like certain other ruling bodies I might mention in the D.C. area.

And therefore, bad plutonium in Kitty Council hands is likely to remain there, rather than being shipped all over the country 'by accident.'

But we'll have to keep an eye on CNN and watch for small unexplained nuclear explosions... ; )

Thanks for your visit and voicing your concerns at the situation. Always much appreciated!

Wow. Over the top!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Jim. Have to agree, lol. But nothing was added or Photoshopped out of this one, just some highlighting and blurring of what started out as a rather pretty hibiscus flower. Probably would have been wiser just to leave it alone and post the original flower, lol.

Thanks for your kind comments and visit, always very much appreciated!

Thanks, Mike. Glad you enjoyed it. I firmly believe they're going to lock me up one of these days for going off the deep end with stuff like this. And with this one, I'm getting close. Right on the edge and perched precariously, lol.

But there's no one pounding on the door yet, so I shall continue my tales of Martian's garden until they come for me. : )

And as I continue to study my snapshot of the messenger, it strikes me that he kind of looks like Elvis, doesn't he?

Thanks for looking, always very much appreciated!

Wow, Randy! I'm taking down notes. Plutonium is what I need to convince my hibiscus to grow and become more 'colorful'. What a hoot! I love this wild effect and always love your wild ditties. lol

Thanks, Donna. Looks crazy, I know. But really just a number of Glow layers and some burning and dodging, along with a blur layer. I think our messenger looks like Elvis, myself. Who knows?

Glad you enjoyed it and the tale, and thanks for looking. One never knows what will pop up in Martian's garden, except that it will be an earthly delight, at least most of the time. LOL

Thanks, Angler. I think you're safe enough, tho Sylvia has asked for some of Martian's fertilizer. It's possible he's already shipped her some, which might or might not include that unstable plutonium! So if Yorkshire suddenly disappears in a large mushroom cloud, you'll be able to tell the police and TV people what happened. ; )

As for a certain glowing raccoon, we know exactly who to blame for the theft, don't we? One can only hope the effects will dissipate without harm to our friend. Of course, he may have super-powers now, so there's that...

Thanks for your visit and that rare and coveted double thumbs-up. Clearly that second glass of malt is having an effect, lol!

Thanks, Jim. Glad you enjoyed it. There's more to the story, posted by Geezer yesterday. Seems Tippit had some of Martian's fertilizer and found it was being pilfered. The thief has been identified as none other than our good friend, rlaugh! You might check it out.

Thanks for visiting and your kind comments, always much appreciated!
