"Thumbs Up" ~ One Image - Multiple Effects

in #gems4 years ago (edited)

In olden days, a person walking along a road or highway holding his or her hand positioned outstretched with the thumb upward in the air meant the person was trying to hitch a ride. "Hitchhikers," they were called. Many free spirited Hippies relied on hitchhiking as a primary means of transportation.

Fortunately during the peak of this trend in the 70s I was too young to drive and later too concerned for my personal safety -- I never hitchhiked or picked up a hitchhiker.

Nowadays a thumbs up is a symbol of positivity as well as a popular emoji.

My gallery today is titled:

👍Thumbs Up!👍

"Hitchin'a Ride" by Vanity Fare

A thumb goes up, a car goes by

It's nearly one A.M. and here am I
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home before the morning light

I got no fare to ride a train

I'm nearly drowin' in the pouring rain
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home to my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Long distance call I got today

She sounded lonely so I'm on my way
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home, to keep her satisfied

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

A thumb goes up, a car goes by

Oh, won't somebody stop and help a guy?
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Been away too long from my baby's side

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride

Ride, ride

Ride, ride
Ride, ride.

All of my edits were done using this original photo shown below. There's nothing terribly exciting about it in its regular format.

Which ones are your favorites?

One perk of the stay at home orders during the Covid-19 pandemic is that many of us have become more creative and found new hobbies to occupy our time. #quarantinelife

Please let me warn you in advance that once you start doing these types of artistic edits it's wonderfully addictive and hard to stop! I almost missed out entering [again] when I got lost on the time while doing edits!

The first edit picture of thumbs up is my bet. Beautiful editing art.

Appreciate you taking a moment to leave a comment, the kind words and support!

It was a cool “thumbs up” entry @ninahaskin... a nice story and great edits to enjoy with. You’re really creative and love that your stuff has also a message that can be noticed, great!
Thanks so much for sharing your work with us and best of luck for the contest! 🤗🤗🤗

Thank you for the compliment and flattering words! This is a super fun contest and much appreciated diversion you and @bliss11 brought to the HIVE platform.👍

It means so much to us when the host/s of a contest takes time to stop by each participant's entry and leave positive comments as both of you do.

All the best to you and have a terrific rest of the week! @drakernoise💕🙌💫

Am glad you are part of the contest @ninahaskin. 🤗

Thank you! @bliss11💕

You can be sure I don't like flattering unless it's deserved, your's really is 😉

Love you Nina @ninahaskin, I hope you are well and that you stay that way.

I'm just heading to bed and offline and seeking my friends with whom to share my Hive Vote Power.
Tag, you're it (or one of them)

Aww, you're very sweet Jerry!💫
I appreciate your support, reblog and generousity. Thank you!

How are things going in Smyrna? Has the Coronavirus peaked yet? It has in some of the counties in my state. The county where I reside has a slow re-opening of some businesses that started Monday. I chose to keep playing it safe for my elderly relative's sake.

Stay healthy and keep playing those songs! @jerrytsuseer

Sorry for the late reply @ninahaskin, I'm in a 'slug-a-bug' state these days. Alarm would have gone off at 6:00 had I not stopped it
First, then I didn't get OUT of bed until 11. The entire day then becomes wasted. I get almost nothing done. I'M in the very
High risk category (65, COPD, Heart issues and more) so I'm staying in, for the most part. But I go to the grocery store
When I need something. I don't know about the "Peaks" I think ALL the numbers are inflated to increase the "Panic
Factor" so we'll hand over more and more of our freedoms to the gov't. I'm very sick of it. (pun intended) 😀
I hope you and yours stay safe and well.
