Blog a Frog

Typically I would have freaked when I saw a frog stuck to the side of my house the other night, but since starting this blog I realized Photo Op!

To make a short story shorter, :), the next morning the frog AND the spider were no where to be seen.

Midnight munchies, perhaps?

Personal-eye-zing

No photo today because I was motivated to make a more personal banner for this site. It's a work in progress, as I learn more about web sizes and how to manipulate the templates. I inherited this maple tree from my Grandma (it was only about 6 inches when she potted it up from an old tree I grew up with, and it is now about 5 feet tall and flourishing). I couldn't resist the example of nature's perfect form in full view.

Let me know if you have any suggestions. Just like my blog, I'm a work in progress. :)

Back 2 basics

Well, as a first post I was anxious to get something up. :) I enjoy the opportunity to brush up my Photoshop skills, beginning with a basic 101 on Hue/Saturation.

This was the first of just two times we took our puppy swimming in the local creek. After the second time I started believing in water bacteria (aka "don't drink the water")...needless to say, I can't cater a sensitive puppy tummy after a quick swim on any regular basis, so the lawn sprinkler will have to continue to suffice.

For a photo off my new point-&-shoot, she's an easy practice model. Please forgive me if I feature her faces, antics, and activities too often; we don't have kids yet...
