Fun with Photoshop

Work  has dragged me away from my home and family again, and trapped me in a hotel for a few days.  So, what does one do when stuck in a hotel to pass the time?  Well, I play with my toy trains:

Actually, I learn fun new techniques in Photoshop.  That picture above is actually a train out my hotel window.  Don’t believe me?   Here is the same view that I did not photoshop (same view, but a different train):

Flowers and New Friends

Took a walk down by the river tonight, to see what I could see.  Lots of birds, a few flowers, and some nice young folks.

Oh deer….(and crane, and grackle….)

Here are a couple of shots I got while driving down a country road a couple days ago.  Well, ok, I stopped to take the pictures, but you know what I mean.

A couple of deer hiding out in the brush just off the road.

This sandhill crane was far out in a field.  I wish I could have gotten a closer shot.

Thanks for visiting.  Life has been so busy I have not had time to get out for some real photography.  I hope to get out sometime soon.
