I wracked my brain trying to decide what to do for this challenge. I decided to use technology to mess with my image. Also, my image is of old technology, and taken with my old point and shoot. It is the pump house located at our family vacation property. I think I really could have pushed the envelope a lot more on this photo, and I may post a further edited one later. I used The Gimp. It is a wonderful FREE program that is just as good as the mega expensive Photoshop program, and even better in my eyes since I don’t have to shell out any cash for it. If you can’t afford Photoshop check out the gimp.

This fall was extremely warm, and my plants decided it was spring. Not only did my Maple tree bud, but my clematis decided to give me one last beautiful bloom. I photographed it on an overcast day, and a sunny day. Today, I post two versions of one of the overcast photo’s. I hope you like them. If I get the opportunity I will post a version of the sunny day one as well.

This is my first attempt at the Sunday Stills challenge.  It’s taken me three days to try to remember what little html I know so I can post here.   I’m glad I started a couple days ahead.  I hope to be participating in more challenges.  We have a lot of pets, as we raise Cockatiels, and English Budgerigars. Since,  Friday was Pugsley’s  first day home, I decided to concentrate on him.  I have a lot more photo’s that I took on Friday, but I only put up three.  Hopefully, next time I will have more to say along with the photo’s.

Have a wonderful week everyone.

Well, I worked today at Windsor Printmakers’ Forum.  Then I renewed my membership with the Arts Council. Made up some business cards, and returned to the Arts Council to submit 4 works for the members show which goes up on the 7th.  Ate supper with a glass of wine and crashed.  My eyes are feeling like they are full of sand, so no work on the computer today.

Tomorrow, I’m taking a day trip to Frankenmuth, Mi. with my sis in law in her new car.  Should be a nice day trip.  My  puppy arrives home on Friday.  So… I think I will be busy, I must find time for this site!
