playing with PSE

Just had to share this - I was playing around with PSE today trying to come up with something interesting. I was working with a self-portrait for my self-portrait a day challenge and wanted to do something different. I came up with this and just LOVE it. Not sure it's exactly what I was going for but... it works. I may fiddle with it some more. I'd like to have a more medatative/atherial quality to it in the end - maybe a soft frame? Regardless, I really love how it turned out and look forward to my next chance to play - being I'm just really learning how to do all sorts of things in PSE.

Jon - learning to fly?

I think my son is trying to learn to fly, or become a bird... or give his mother a heart attack! But at least he is willing to allow me to take pictures while he's doing it :)

Nothing says summer...

Like watching

all the tiny

buds and blossoms

fight to burst into full bloom.... soon!

and of course this vine that found the bird feeder :)
