Decided to shoot the sun coming up while sitting in the driveway ready to go to the market. It occured to me the height of the pine tree next to our transformer pole. When we moved here, that tree wouldn't even have been in the frame.

Changed the operating system fonts, three settings in Lr and Ps each, and found a neat little program to change Ps menus to black with white type face. (the white background with medium gray type face was killing my eyes) + the eyes are still improving - whew. More Trumpet vine photos from the backyard.
Edit - all were shot at f2.0 (not f1.4) - got to remember that next time I use Lens Tagger

Thanks Serge. That Igor Shulman print showed up in the midst of my eye thingy. It is even better in real life, but we need to find somewhere to get it properly framed. I can do photos, but the particular canvas he used (slightly elastic) makes me nervous.
Excellent James. That is a stunning work of art by Igor and sure to be a conversation piece.

Love that first one. Good eye spotting that.
Thanks, Leighton.
There are so many photographic opportunities in this area that it boggles the mind. The variety is stunning as is the history. I have quite a few photos to process.

Not yet. I really have to concentrate to just make out letters, and Photoshop's tiny fonts are horrible. I have hundreds of action scripts I wrote, and apparently Photoshop has a button interface to use them - instead of my classification groups and descriptions. They look a bit better, but initially scared one of my 18 month grand-daughters so much I have been staying away from her to not traumatize (Photo) her. Yesterday, she came and found me and said "Hey Baby" - gave me a hug, and patted my shoulder. Felt like a million bucks after that. Hopefully it will continue to improve.

Man, I hope they get better soon. I see what you mean about your granddaughters face.
I also know what you mean about the garden. This is the first year ever that I've had to dig potatoes with a potato rake. I also have had to do all the gardening for the past month as Barbara broke her back.
I also have a nice friend that's a member of this thread who once gave me a beer called "Moose Drool".
OMG! That brings back memories!!! And "Yes, Virginia, there REALLY is "Moose Drool". Hubby and I saw the bottles at a store in the Tetons in '22. Yes, I laughed like a fool standing in the middle of the aisle.

What? Barbara broke her back? Did I miss an earlier mention of this? Hope she is healing well!
