Benjamin Not Peter

Benjamin is a habitué in my garden when the sedums are blooming. I believe there must be burrows underneath the bushes and gazebo where he and his family hibernate. That’s why I name him Benjamin Not Peter because I have seen and shot pictures of Peter, and he is a much older guy. They are not easily distinguishable from one another, but I believe I have mastered that little skill.

This picture is another photo I shot in 2021 that I altered its look with a filter software to make a plain rabbit into one that you can almost feel its silky soft fur! However, I cannot remember which filter in Photoshop I’d used to get this effect. Photoshop has changed so many elements over the years of regular updates that I cannot repeat some of my favourite art photos I made from the past 5 years. And when they overhaul the whole system you lose not only your modus operandi but your sanity with it. Already navigating the system itself is like getting lost in the burrows because you are not a software technician nor even a student but a peripatetic user.
