The last day to use the photo editing site is April 19, 2012. I will be sorry to see it go because I was just starting to really enjoy playing around with my photos in a variety of ways. Picnik made play easy to do, usually in one step rather than the several I often have to take in Photoshop to get certain effects.

My to-do list is so long that I almost feel paralyzed by it. Procrastination is tempting, and seems easier than prioritizing.

That’s not really a dragon’s neck up there. Just a limb on one of the trees near the pond. But doesn’t it look like it could be a dragon’s neck?

The grayness of the clouds overhead lets in very little light where the canopy of trees is thickest. The forest is still verdant and what light there is has taken on the green shades of the foliage on the trees, the mosses, and the lush undergrowth.

It was 17 inches long yesterday. This morning it was 17-1/2 inches. And this afternoon it was 18 inches. As with all fish tales, the fish grows with each telling of the tale. (Actual size was 17 inches.)

No self portraits are included. It was a 3H day (hot, hazy, and humid). I was not a pretty sight by the time we finished our six mile ride.
