Flowers that bloom in the Spring...

[ash48]

My garden has some beautiful flowers in it at the moment. I just love looking at them.

Knowing that they will disappear soon I asked my 12 year old daughter to take a photo of each flower. I decided to try my hand at putting some of them into a small montage in Photoshop. I have never used this program before...and, it's not easy! I have utter admiration for those of you who know how to use it. So please excuse how crappy this looks. But (as I said with my first ever vid!) you have to start somewhere.....

Anyway - here is a snap shot of my back yard. This represents only about a third of everything that is blooming at the moment. And of course I had to include a shot of Charlie. And the chooks...

EEEE, you posted! I'm so jealous of your garden (not to mention your ability to actually grow things). Alas, I myself have a black thumb; I just enjoy admiring other people's handiwork.

And you did great with the Photoshop! I don't know what you were so worried about.

*meep* I did. I had it sitting on my computer for a while and thought, bugger it. Just post it. :)

And it's my hubby that has the green thumb... I don't mind planting them, but he feeds them and takes care of them more than I do. :)

Oh man. Photoshop.... I did feel that by then end of doing that I had learned quite a bit. Especially about the layers and transforming.
