It's also Amber. . .

Forgive me for posting two versions of the same still life. The challenge for Kim's class this week is black and white and restoring color.

I added an overlay by Brenda Starr.

Hallejujah! Kim's class introduced us to brushes this week and is has changed my world.

The words on this are a brush provided by Kim. One click and you are there. No trying to decide which font to use.

I know, many of you have been using them for years, but they are new to me.

A day where I learn something new is a GOOD day!

I'm not really a bird person but when the Cedar Waxwings arrive about this time of the year to eat all the red berries, I do get excited. When the sun hits their wings, it is nothing short of glorious.

This day was very cloudy, but they landed right out my kitchen window and actually gave me time to get my camera, change lens and shoot a few through the window.

I caught this guy in mid bite.

I honestly can't remember if I've posted this one before, but at any rate I've reworked it.

This was taken from the paddle boat in New Orleans. I have no idea why "You Are Beautiful", was painted on this abandoned building, but what a good message it is.

We all need to be reminded sometimes that we are beautiful in some way or other.
