Chipmunk Picture Fun

My friend sent me this picture of a chipmunk enjoying the ball I gave her a while ago. I had fun messing with it in photoscape. Here's the original and two alterations. They remind me of an illustration in a children's book.

Abbey of the Genesee

This past week we did a road trip to the Abbey of the Genesee, location of a Trappist monastery, and also the place where Monk's Bread is made. You can find out all about them at www.geneseeabbey.org. I took some pictures of the grounds and the outside of the chapel. Cameras were not allowed inside, but it was very rustic and peaceful. Of course, I couldn't resist messing around with the pictures in Photoscape. The weather might be gloomy, but grey skies work great with the water brush filter and some backlighting.

I have been messing about with Photoscape again, as well as Photoshop Elements. Here are a variety of scenes made from pictures I have snapped over the years. On my computer, if I click on the picture to enlarge it, then right click and choose "set as desktop background", I can make my own wallpaper. So, if you see something that grabs you, click away!
