Almost fall

Just some pics I snapped tonight of Rocky being harassed by that darn squirrel again!


Saturday, September 17, 2011

Found this little guy scratching at my back door window...

The squirrels seem to be doing a lot of this over the last several weeks. This one was scratching at my window this morning...so I took his pic of course!

Fall...already?

Where did the summer go?? I'm not ready for this just yet, but the cooler temps are very nice. Caught these leaves on the patio this evening.

Amazing pics!

A Beautiful IN Sunset

A Big One Year Old!

People who take pics of small children, I take my hat off to you! This was some serious work to get my grandson to show some kind of happiness...and from the pics you can see he was all over the place in his moods, but I like it this way...very natural and not stiff. These were taken with my external flash on camera...had to shoot straight up and bounce light off the ceiling to avoid harsh shadows. I just purchased a white background/support system from B&H...you do what you can with what you have! I'll do better when I have a couple 430EX flashes. =)

Our beautiful Dalmation of 14 years

Today's pic is dedicated to our dalmation, Oreo. Ms. Oreo, had been having more physical difficulties in the last year. She had arthritis, was going deaf, couldn't see very well...and just in pain many days. Oreo was the most loving, loyal companion. She loved her family greatly as we did her and we will miss her dearly. She brought much joy to us in the 13-1/2 years we had her. ♥

I thought my first edit was really good...now it's great!

Photoshop Editing Technique

Jimmy on Phototips.biz had this really cool and easy editing tip for Photoshop this week and here is what I did with it on a recent photo shoot.

My original edited pic:


In Photoshop, duplicate your layer (background). Go to "filter", gaussian blur with 30 pixels. Then under "layers" click "overlay" or "screen". I chose "overlay" which is the result below. Cool, isn't it? You can adjust the opacity a bit if you need to also. Quick and easy!!

After PS technique:
This technique gives a dreamy quality to the photo.

Mexico, Missouri, is sucking the life out of me/us and has for some time now...I need a different scenery! Just not feeling ANY creative juices. Just want to shake the dust and blow this popsicle stand!

The Barn Spider

 The kids found a barn spider out front this week. For a bit of trivia, the spider in Charlotte's Web was a barn spider. The web this little critter made was huge and very impressive!

I am really tired of the problems with Blogger! Everytime I try to log in to my account, everything crashes!! I had to go in through internet explorer. Anyway, here are some gorgeous zinnias I purchased for the front door entry. Love the pink color!
