Crystal Springs - Selective Saturation

This is another photo that was taking during the pre-mother’s day outing at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens. The flowers were very violent pink (not that there’s anything wrong with violent pink… really), so I thought I would play around with the saturation. For this photo I bumped down the saturation in Photoshop to create this […]

Trying Something Different

This past Saturday I took my mom to Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden as an early Mother’s Day outing. It was overcast out and a bit chilly once we got down into the gardens. I was a bit more experimental than I normally am with the photos here - especially when it came to the ducks. […]

How to Win Friends and Influence People

Monkey Within (Color Parts 2-6)

Alright, so I finally remembered to pull these photos of the monkey’s progress off of my camera. Sorry, I would have scanned them, but I didn’t feel up to the challenge. Pay no attention to the attractive strips of blue masking tape….
In this one I added a layer of orange paint and smooshed it […]

Cheeky Little Beggar

So, instead of parking in the overflow lot that required the catching of a bus shuttle, we opted […]

Blooms and Brews

This past weekend was the Blooms and Brews Festival at the Oregon Gardens in Silverton, Oregon. This is the third year that the Oregon Gardens has hosted this festival. The day was nice and warm. We arrived around 3PM so we weren’t able to visit all 80 acres of the gardens. We could have caught […]
