I think the beauty of spring can be captured anywhere.
No need to get in the car and pay over $4 a gallon for gas — just walk in your yard and bask in the beauty that surrounds you.
I started this journey through my yard to take photos of the blooming dogwood for my best friend - Barbara. We had been talking about their lacey appearance a few days ago and since the dogwood is not prevalent in Oklahoma, I thought I would send her some shots of it.
The ocean has always been a favorite place for me. I guess because in it’s beauty I see a paradox.
Strength and peacefulness in one body.
This strength of the ocean was very apparent when I went to visit the Smith Point State Park during a wind advisory.
After walking through the tunnel from the parking lot to the ‘beach’, I stood on the dunes to take the pictures. The sea was so rough there was no beach to speak of.
A lot of Photoshop problems can be fixed by dumping the Preferences file. While launching Photoshop, hold down Alt+Ctrl+Shift on the PC or Cmd+Option+Shift on the Mac. When asked to reset the preferences, choose Yes.
But before you do this, save your custom Patterns, actions, styles, brushes, gradients, shapes, and color palettes. These will also be reset, and you don’t want to lose them forever. You can even create an action to do this, so you have a one click backup! (Don’t forget to save the backup action first.)
In order to prevent confusion I have decided to divide my websites. If you are looking for quilling galleries, quilling projects, and how-tos please visit Quillarina
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope or confidence.
