Photo Editing

What's more fun than taking photos? Editing them!

W
ith all the fancy things we can do, that just a few years ago only professional photographers had access to, what's not to enjoy? While I claim to be nowhere near on par with such professionals, I do like to dabble! I also suppose some might disagree with me, finding the actual photo shooting more fun.

Ok, so I LOVE these flowers too, but I also love spending my free time editing photos. I'm sure I'm not very good, but I slowly learn new tricks, and I haven't even installed my Adobe Photo Editor yet! This was all done with a combination of Picasa, Paint and Photo Editor, simple programs almost anyone should have access to. Heck, Picasa is free and the others come with I think all Microsoft packages.

Flower or Flowers are all Good with Me



Flowers. Flowers as gifts. Flowers that smell. Flowers that are vibrant. 1 or a dozen it's all good.

When you're given a flower something instantly happens. Others notice too. Definitely don't carry them around if you don't want to be noticed. I think it's impossible to carry even one red rose and not have it catch everyone's eye, men, women, children, ok, I really don't have any data on the children, but I'm betting they look too.

The question is, "Does it catch our eye as it's a part of nature, hence, our immediately being drawn to it?", or is it more of a social question, "That's a nice flower. I wonder how (s)he got it? (S)He must be appreciated."

I do not pretend to know the answer. I just know that days later it still brings joy, just looking at it.
