We were able to get away this past holiday weekend to Roosevelt Lake. Thanks to Ralph & Virginia for having an open campsite for us. Spent each day, all day long, on the lake wakeboarding, kneeboarding and hanging out. Was able to try wakeboarding behind a tower-wow! much easier to get up! (Thanks Tom for giving us the chance to try that). Now if I could feel my shoulder and straighten my arm soon it would be nice. Maybe I need to start weight training or something~problem probably is I am not quite as young as I think I am??
Our site was nice with great views, but a little hike down to the water.





I took Gizmo walking in the mornings and grabbed a couple of shots here and there of the camping area. This one is processed with a new photoshop action - kind of a HDR look to it (High Dynamic Range). What do you think??





This one also processed with a new action...I am on the fence with this painting look and may have to try it on some other images to decide if I like it or not. What do you think??

New blog page style

Well I have jumped into the blogging page hidden behind the page details and been completely lost numerous times. I think the people who write computer code must have a brain addition or something. It just doesn't come naturally or really any way at all to me.
After many trials and errors and much help from tutorials over at the DGRIN forum - http://www.dgrin.com/ I have managed to build a new page. Let me know what you think!! (There is a comment section under each blog - or at least there was if I haven't written over it in computer code and lost it)
I have also figured out a new way to upload pictures to this blog...now when you click on the picture here it sends you over to that picture gallery in my website. (here is where you can oohh and aaahhhh as well as say wow)

Trying it all out with this entry and a snapshot I captured the other day. The first baby quail I have seen this year. They were following along behind their parents when our big dog walked up and scattered them. This little guy finally worked up the nerve to venture out and go find the others. So cute & tiny!!!
