"Dune 608"

Gail Slaughter produced the top photo....(California dune shot) and I fooled around with Microsoft Photo Editor to make the bottom one from it.............................MS

(Hint: select a section with sky above, ground below, then paste it lower down to mask the ground, repeat, repeat repeat until you have lotsa sky to play with, then use smudge function to blend images together relatively seamlessly........time involved: 10 minutes max!........MS)

"The Mind of Mary 1245"

Mary Taitt sent me a sketch of a "Zen Rooster" she did, and I pictured her mind at work doing it for this posting. Again, just a way of having fun with the Paint program. And OpenOffice, and Picasa, and a few other tricks those of us lacking Photoshop play with.

"Andree's Visitor"

This is a small "test" version of a larger posting Andree in Vermont is presently working on. It's a picture of a hairy woodpecker at her birdfeeder. Sometimes I do such things just to "try out" a given layout or composition, and see what's what. The poetry is by ME!
