*LOL* Yep, I have a whole calendar made up of some of my favorites. This is one:

Interesting effect on the last one--kinda plasticized. Do you do bubbles too?

Awww man! I bet you were devastated. Do you net the pond or cover it greenhouse style now? There's got to be a decorative but effective way to do it.

Marie........The pond is actually a hot tub for now.the real deal is in construction phase.meaning the blocks are up and the crete has been poured.the rest will have to wsit until the raindrops cease!
So for now there is a full panel of lattice over top of them..stinks.but they are safe now. Tough lesson.and the really sad thing is that I have seen it happen to so many people before me.you just never think it will happen to you. Stupid on my part.


I like the bubbles! Lol.I have Adobe Elements 3.0.I have not learned how to do so many things with it.I shall get to it...eventually.

Looks like you're on hold until Spring like I am in the construction department. *L* Good you have something over the fish until then. I lost one to a heron this last summer--my favorite one of course--so creative covering is on the queue.

I use the Corel Suite 10 for the graphics. I have adobe too, but Corel is the constant for me. I imagine it's going to occupy a lot of my time this winter as we wait out the rain.

Is that the result of a special camera or software? It's really cool.

Gail, I didn't know you could do things like that! It's great. How long does it take?

That's really nice, Rick! Wish I could paint like that. I have problems mixing the right colors to get what I want, and when I do finally get what I'm looking for, there isn't enough of it. *L* So it's fun painting pixels and being able to customize colors, hues and shades to my heart's desire and have an unlimited supply of them all.

My daughter works with oil pastels and is doing a portrait of one of my showas. Can't wait to show that off when it's done.
