Abstract Tones

I call this image Abstract Tones.  Can you guess what it is?  I’ll admit to using Topaz Glow and Topaz Impression in the creation of this image, but both of those plugins were used at the end of the process in the final touches.  The spiral/ concentric circles you see here is straight of the camera.…… Continue reading Abstract Tones

Little Man

Little Man

It was guy’s time at the house today.  Mom was out running errands and such so the little man and I got to hang out and play all day.  Races were won, game winning goals were scored, huge cities were built (and destroyed.  ROAR!!), castles were defended, fierce dragons were slayed, railroads were built (yes,…… Continue reading Little Man

Sweet Ride

Sweet Ride

My son’s new wheels – a classic candy apple red Radio Flyer tricycle.  What a sweet ride!  He’s going to be the envy of all the kids in the neighborhood.  Well, he will be, as soon as his legs are long enough to pedal the thing. Because of the layout of our living room, I…… Continue reading Sweet Ride

Stockings Hung By the Chimney

Stockings Hung by the Chimney with Care

’twasn’t quite the night before Christmas, but it was at night and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care.  The only thing I wish was different – outside of it not being the night before Christmas and there was no St. Nick – is that we had a real wood-burning fireplace.  Oh well,…… Continue reading Stockings Hung By the Chimney

Clash of Styles

Clash of Styles
