Default What to do...

... when you're at home on a heating pad because your back is out to lunch? DO what Ido... play-n-learn with photoshop! So here is a couple of playthings and a picture of my friend the goldfinch.

Then there's this.... I don't know what it's called. The wind kept moving it around too. It's a little out of focus but it's a nice plant.

First of all Fred, the images alone are excellent the colours are so vibrant and as for the your little friend the goldfinch. That is an outstanding capture buddy. Your pp skills are really going well, I love what you did with the first one. This is another very nicely presented set. Hope the back is not to serious mate and soon on the mend.

Jake.

Thanks Fred, I'm getting my shipment today or tomorrow, Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2; Looking forward to moving up.
Great shots Fred, sorry about the back, I know how that feels. But you've made good use of your time and entertained us with another great series of flowers from Freds place!
I love the last flowers, they look like Trigger fish to me.
Thanks for Sharing
Chewys Dad.
