Life's Just Ducky

Photoshop plays

I've been working on learning Photoshop and figuring out a good work flow for postprocessing and these 2 images were my subjects for the day. I really like the feel I got with the building, not sure about the fence photo though. I think perhaps the fence one just isn't a strong enough photo on its own and Photoshop isn't going to make it great.

A few random ones

Just a few photos I've taken over the past few days.





And of course one of my sweet Annabella just to brighten your day!

Lake Wichita

We went for a walk today at Lake Wichita. Sounds like it should be nice but really there isn't much there! They have a walking path surrounding the lake that would make for an enjoyable stroll on most days but with the wind gusts we had today we were lucky to stay on the path. I did however get a few photos out of the day.

Art Show

Saturday was the opening of the Gilrose Studios Juried Art Show in which my piece "Plains of New Mexico" was displayed.



Turns out the photo didn't win a prize, but it was still a cool experience to have artwork on display. Plus it was one of only 2 photos in the entire show!

After the Storms

One nice thing to all the severe weather we have to deal with here in TX is the chance to see a beautiful sunset once it's all over.

Road Trip

Two weeks ago we decided to take a road trip and headed up to the "mountains." I have that in quotations because to people who live on the east coast or out near the Rockies these are more like hills. Either way, it made for a nice day up in OK and I got a few good photos out of it.

On the drive up the mountain -


Carlos had to help with this photo. We were driving out of the Nature Reserve and saw a herd of Longhorns out in the field. There already were a handful of people stopped to take photos, so we pulled over so I could do the same! Well as I was trying to get photos of the herd crossing the street in front of the vehicle, Los mentioned that the largest Longhorn who was off on his own was then crossing the street behind me. So as I photographed that Longhorn, Los played lookout to make sure these animals didn't turn our way as I was probably closer than I should have been in the first place!
