I will be taking a hiatus from this blog for perhaps six months...need to catch up on backups, build an index, and a few other things. Meanwhile, your comments and suggestions are still welcome on anything posted so far.

Thanks

Flowers at Home 01

While on the subject of flowers, found some taken at home with the Big Cahoona about six months ago. Just playing around...

Bush Library 04

Some of the flowers on the way back to the car. The sun was out, so this cropped-in mid-afternoon shot was the only decent one of probably a dozen taken.

Bush Library 01

A little more than a month ago the family visited the Bush library in College Station. This and the next few postings are snapshots taken in the interior of the museum.

Naturally, the Big Cahoona was my companion...

JV's Last Game of 2010 - Hat Feathers

The color filaments in these hat feathers were originally gold. Was playing with Hues in Elements, and decided this orange looks better...
