Quiet Waters

Hey everyone, if your life is hectic and you need to relax a little, I have the perfect thing for you. I have collaborated with my good friend David Hollandsworth on another video project. He custom composed a song for me to go along with my photos. My photos and David's music go together really well!  Check out "Quiet Waters" at http://youtu.be/U9Wj4fUsbPQ

Thank you!

It's time for a cute break!

Lately, my guys have been sleeping on different levels of the climbing tree or one will be on the climbing tree and one on the sofa. Last night, I just happened to spot them both cuddling up on the sofa together. I'm glad I noticed them because they're so cute!

My Kitties

I haven't posted any kitty photos for a long time so I thought I'd post this one of my guys on one of the few occasions when they've been behaving. It seems lately the only time they behave is when they're sleeping! Actually, they do surprise me and behave every once in a while. I can't call them my little guys anymore. They're getting so big! I have some other photos that I haven't downloaded to my computer yet so stay tuned for more kitties!

Creating Gradients for my photos

It's been a while since I posted anything so I thought I'd better check in. I've been having fun taking this Photoshop course so I thought I'd share a couple more of my projects. The last lesson was on gradients and here are a couple special projects I did:

 

Here are a couple gradients that I created: 

 

My tie dyed little lamb!

I've really been enjoying my Photoshop class that I'm taking online. The last lesson was about brushes and how they work. We created a tie dye using different brushes and then we tie dyed a little lamb! It's a tricky process but it was fun. I'll have to see what other things I can tie dye! Here is how my lamb turned out:

Working with Photoshop

It's been a while since I posted anything so I thought I'd share a photo that I experimented with in Photoshop. Even though I've used Photoshop, I've never had any formal training. So now I'm taking an online Photoshop course and yesterday I learned a technique and I thought I'd try it out on one of my photos. I could have picked an easier photo without all the trees but I think this came out great for a first attempt. This is the courthouse in Cumberland. I made the photo black and white and then I recolored the courthouse. Not too bad for the first time.

A Williamsburg Christmas

I visited Williamsburg, VA with my friend Susanna and her family a few days after Christmas. We went to Christmas Town at Busch Gardens and then Colonial Williamsburg the next day.  Busch Gardens was spectacular. We got there in daylight and it was beautiful but things got even more spectacular. Here are just some of the photos I took:

They did a light show with the big Christmas tree outside of the Festhaus that was wonderful. Great music and lights of all colors!


Colonial Williamsburg: (No flashing lights on these but they are still beautiful!)
