Spring Sneaks Into Rainbow Creek by: brendasue

+Rockin' Robin!

Hi Everybody!!!!!!!  Guess What????  Our unusually long and cold winter in South Texas left last week and Spring sneaked in this week.  All my Spring Bloomers are popping out. The tulip Magnolias are purple flowers overnight!  I have one fruiting Pear bloomed out, two Peach trees,  All of the Redbuds have popped.
To celebrate the arrival of spring  our photostudy today will be on the colorful, whimsical Pansy Flower!  Enjoy the Parade!


By the way, I found all these wonderful Pansies at Bluebonnet Herb Farms right here in Hempstead!

For my Photography Students and Photofriends:  You will notice I am trying out a new (to me) editing program--Picnik, in the Picasa Web Albums on your Google Account.  I have found this to be a Great Site (Picasa/Picnic) and one benefit is making cyber friends all over the world and watching the photos to learn exactly what is going on in this big world. See what you think of the new Effects for the Spring Collection!!  Then Try It-You might like it!!!!!!

The Name of this White Beauty is:  Happy Birthday Brandi! 
(love, Mom)


Please leave some comments if you have any thoughts one way or the other about the editing effects!  I believe there is a comment place on this Blogger.  Or, you are welcome to visit My Galleries at Picasa:

Hey Hey-My My-----PhotoArt by: brendasue

Hi Everybody!
Come on in. I have been going through my albums trying to put all my birds in order for a website I am building. I came across my blue hummers and tried a new editing program in Picnik!  I really like this effect on these photos. 


I am a beginner in photography and will probably always be a beginner. So to others picking up a camera, I want to encourage you to try all the new things out there on the net.  We have an opportunity to learn the craft from many people and sites. By not being into photography during the film age, digital users do not have to be concerned with how many photos to shoot (due to cost of film).
For us it is free to shoot thousands of pics and free to delete them.
So practice everyday. I delete far more than I keep!!
For what I do here in this blog and for the grandkids and friends is good, but This camera would not work on the Grand Scenes.
So start where you are. You can always buy more expensive and better equipment if you like photography.


Today I will show you some new editing effects!  I do not call my work 'photography' rather 'PhotoArt' as every photo I post has been through minimal editing program.


I love the Art of Photography and most of my photofriends are Masters.  I reinterate: I am not a photographer by trade, I was a chef.  I am a Grandma with a camera on a mission!


The Purpose of my Garden Photo Journal is to document what visits Rainbow Creek and when they come and go!   This journal will stay with the cabin for whoever comes in the future! 


I can tell you all to make a photo garden journal for yourself and share with the world.  I have learned much more than I have taught!


Check out my 'Rocking' birds!  MY BLUE BIRDS OF HAPPINESS!

HA HA!

Jerry Robin: this one's for you!  (Or how I broke my first camera when the sugarwater dripped in the lens!)

A very sweet ending for my first canon! (But I got the shot!)

BYE BYE!  ROCK and ROLL WILL NEVER DIE!
