Except for a caress on my brow or was that the wind? (penned by me)

My first entry for three or more weeks as I just finished a photoshop course.

It was a lovely overcast day, just right for this shot ~Pat #1313769

Fantastic portrait of this beautiful dog in a basket taken with a great sense of composition, fine detail and wonderful muted color, Pat!!

Hello Melissa, the course was a Photoshop CS5 class at LVS Online. I really enjoyed learning about all the new tools.

Thankyou so kindly for your wonderful words Melissa! I didn't want to miss the beautiful spring blooms today.

Yes I'm back, had a really busy month, we get little Annie a Jack Russell puppy on Wednesday so will be even busier.

Yes Lala, I wrote the verse. Kinda goes with Cindy don't you think, I suppose I should put my name there that I wrote it.

Hi there Carolyn, didn't the garden shot turn out so pretty, I think Ihave some Wisteria oines too that I will post.

Little wee Annie will be 11 weeks of age. She is flying in from New Zealand and arrives at cargo at 5pm on Wednesday, that's tomorrow, we can hardly wait LOL.

The course was fabulous, I learnt how to do my shining knight and other things.

Nah, I will never be ahead of you and Phil when it comes to things my dear!
