Recovery

We had a splendid time with this lady last month.  

Techie Corner

No Flash, but No Trash either.

I also took several pictures at the time, most of them using flash.  But this one was caught in between flash cycles and was almost completely black.  I typically try to lighten these images before scrapping them to make sure they aren't salvageable.  

But I really like this one, now that I can see the image.  I like it even better than the image I blogged about last month.  The only problem – extreme graininess.  

New Photoshop plug-in to the rescue!  I recently purchased Topaz DeNoise AI and I figured this would be a great image to see what the plug-in could do.  I'm really pleased with the result!

 One of my favorite pics of me.  As seen Thanksgiving week, 1991. 

Swoopy

 Beware the Land Fish in its native habitat.  It can swoop down on you without warning.

Easterly

 My husband gave me a Peace Lily for our anniversary and I decided it would make a nice blog pic for Easter Sunday.

Gloamingly

Quite a bit colder this Saturday, especially as the sun finishes setting and the wind whips through the trees.  Spent a brief amount of time by the Mississippi River in a little park in Elk River.  I'm really enjoying exploring new places.
