Great Week-End

















It has been such a great week-end. We left on Thursday on our way to Savannah. We spent the evening and next day with Dusty. We are still looking at places for him to live.
We have narrowed it down to two. One they want to much money for and needs a lot of work. Of course that is the one that Dusty wants. The other one is perfect almost move in ready and an easy resell. That's the one he does not want. His choice is condo number two or live in a dorm. I will take a poll as to which one he chooses.
We left Savannah and are now in Fl. I have enjoyed taking pictures. I am really excited about Photoshop CS3. It is a new program that I am ready to dive into. It is amazing what you can do with a photo with this program. I can't wait.
I saw these weeds while driving back from Tallahassee. What are they? Help. I took the golf cart back up to take these pictures. What I didn't do was spray myself with bug spray. I was snapping pictures and getting eaten alive. I was rushed. Anyway can't wait to see what can be done in Photoshop. These were taken in a portrait mode with a 28-300 lense and a circle polarized lense filter. I wish I had zoomed in a little closer. I may retake these pictures this afternoon with bug spray on.

I have manged to get these pictures posted in a werid formatt. I guess I need help with placement also. Hope everyone has a glorious day. Enjoy that spring is here and have a great day.

The weed in your photos is called Thistle. Here is the link to Wikipedia to see a photo and description (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thistle). Even though it is a weed, the blosson is beautiful. Great closeup photos! Love the busy bee. I am also excited about digging into PS CS3. Of course, even the best program cannot produce a good photo. That comes from having a practiced eye, and you have it. Can't wait for Scrap Club this Sunday! I miss you!

Thistles are beautiful blooming, but they are BIG trouble for pastures. Good luck resolving D's living arrangements. Love, j

Welcome back, Chere. You've been leading a busy life just like the rest of us.
I love your photos and eye for color. It really makes me want to expedite the purchase of my new camera, but as of right now, I'm still undecided as to which one I will go with.
