photo friday: fluffy & "if you search for"

after photo friday's new theme "fluffy" was announced, i went searching for photos. no easy task, i first thought. then i remembered this moment by a lake, last year in France, where i sat and watched flowers send out fluffy seeds that went sailing in the wind. i tried a crop, and out came this image, titled azur.

and just like the flower seeds, this azur image went sailing, too: when i later mailed with Jeff Crouch about a blueprintreview image, he suggested a brief collaboration - and out came, based on a morph of the fluffy photo, this very different visual: "if you search for" - text by Ross Priddle, base photo by Dorothee Lang, merge by Jeff Crouch.

and interesting: the image above again is exactly 450x450 pixel. yet it doesn't look like a square.
