It works, to an extent

Keeps the pigeons, gulls, and other assorted thieves, beggars and miscreants, at bay –

Now, if we could only do something about those bothersome dogs….

Post processing

Here’s where the money gets made. You wanna be a professional (I don’t) photographer? Better to learn your softwares first. There’s this –

That was just a couple minutes of futzing with the photo (which happened to be a decent photo to start with). I figure with the right set of Adobe skills, someone could make even me look like a competent photographer. Anyway, it’s all in good fun/learning.

One of those days

Springlike, warm, sunny, clear, all that. Made for a crisp walk this afternoon –

 

Crystal

 

It’s days like today, wouldn’t trade ’em for anywhere else. Seattle’s got Spring down to an art.

You know what this means

The daffodils are starting to come up –

 

future daffodils

 

It clearly means a weekend cleaning up the flower beds is in the very near future.
Maybe something about Spring too, not so sure about that, we’ll see.

They just don’t build ’em like they used to

At least not like 1928 used to –

At the Orthodox Brotherly Cemetery of Saint Nicholas.

Good looking fence.
