I thought I’d take a break and share some more photo effects, similar to what I did last month. I took this picture last May when I traveled by Amtrak to Washington D.C.. The train was stopped near Fredericksburg, Virginia and I used my old point & shoot Canon. This photo was particularly appealing because of…
The other day, MargeKatherine played around with some Photoshop Filters on her blog, Inside Out Cafe. I left her comment encouraging her to try Topaz Labs plug-in filters and she said – . . . get in there and play around and see what fun images you can create! And then show me!! So I…
FOR TODAY – Saturday, 2/11/12 Outside my window. . . dawn is breaking and I hear the birds singing. It’s a rainy, gray, dreary day, but the birds are out! I’d have loved to watch more of the light breaking, but there were dogs to let out, a mess to clean up (which is why…
I’ve been discussing with my favorite boy toy about learning Photoshop CS next year. I use Photoshop Elements 9 for basic repairs and tweaks to my photos, but as I get more advanced, its limitations become more apparent.

As I worked on my post, I realized that while I blogged because I enjoyed it, I had begun the daily photo challenge for a totally different reason. I…
For me, it’s way too easy to be oblivious to events around me. Work, fatigue, stress, and inattentiveness all contribute to days flying by without me noticing them. One of my goals for this year has been to reconsider my routines. One of the routines I’ve experimented with is celebrating other anniversaries. I’ve been with limited success on this…
I love to browse through my pictures, especially the old ones. There are so many fond memories there, of places I’ve been to and people I have known. This fall I’d like to begin scanning the old photos again to have more of the old ones available to me. Here’s my maternal grandmother on her…
In my post as to why I don’t miss film, I mentioned that my wedding pictures were turning into sepia due to the colors fading. I still love them and I love my favorite boy toy even more. We’ve been married way longer than we haven’t been married. Here we are, young and happy. We’re…
