I didn't take these pictures - they were posted on MSNBC. We had tremendous storms over the weekend and are now experiencing severe and dangerous flooding. Dams are overflowing and a number are in danger of failing ( Read more... )

Pictures from my sister's small but lovely garden taken in late May, 2008. The garden relies primarily on shape, form and foliage color rather than flowers. The first five pictues are of her front garden (and you can see that her next door neighbor employs a similar style in her front garden), while the others show her main garden behind her house ( Read more... )

I just got back from Montana a few days ago and have been dedicating my free time to my gardens since then. They're almost done - yeah!! I can't wait to spend some time catching up on LJ over the next few days - I owe a lot of comments and need to reply to many. It will get done. :-) I hope everyone is well ( Read more... )

I had Granddaughter #1 (age 3) over the weekend. I don't usually turn on my computer when she's here, but I grabbed some time to finish a piece of fanart while she was still sleeping Sunday morning, posted it and was just about to power off when she got up. She came over to check out what I was doing and saw the Spike manip on my LJ home page ( Read more... )

Base by Luis Royo. Brushes by uglybusinessI was happy with the manip, so I spent some time playing around with it, trying to come up with a more interesting way to 'present' it. I feel I struggle a lot with composition - enhancing a manip, especially - and I really want to work on that more over the next few months ( Read more... )

For my posting day at seasonal_spuffy, I manipped a photo of SMG & Seth Green from the recent cast reunion. While I was working with it, I kept thinking about how much I had liked Oz and missed him after he left the show ( Read more... )

So, I had a dream last night that I met Marc Blucas at a fund-raising event. I looked at him and said "Riley" in the same tone Seinfeld says, "Newman."

He laughed.

That is all.

Yeah, I know I just changed it, but the colors were just too hard on my eyes. I'm hoping this one will be a bit easier on them.

My thanks to khaoschilde and rae_isha who gave me info on using flexible squares with the side picture. So I could use my favorite manip of Spike, of course ( Read more... )

Is there anyone on my flist who uses a commercially available fund-raising software program at work and would be willing to tell me what it is and whether or not they like it?

I'm spending hours at work (and home) researching them.

Any help/input would be deeply appreciated!
