Hey, at least it’s not a bird again.  I shot this image at the end of the day last Saturday.  There is a nice family park in the industrial division on the West end and it provides picnic tables and a walking path around the pond.  Usually it is full of people walking, fishing, canoeing, or picnicking.   This day with the temperature hovering just about 25 and the sun about to set there was no one around.  One of the few times I’ve seen that.  I like the mood of the image.

I got pretty used to taking a nap over the last 4 day holiday and yesterday was tough not getting to enjoy a mid-day snooze.  I’ll have to pick up a couple of bottles of “5-hour energy.” 🙂

Yesterday a friend gave me an older image that had gotten pretty mangled up.  It is 17 X 24 inches and cannot be replaced.  It was too big for my scanner (I even tried doing it in sections with no success.)  So I got the idea to tape it to a neutral wall and set my camera up on a tripod and capture the image with my sharpest lens.  Then work on rebuilding the image in Photoshop.  I worked on it for a couple of hours last night and the jury is still out.  I just took care of the easy stuff last night.  There is some pretty bad damage around the facial area and some lettering on a tee-shirt.  I’m not sure my Photoshop skills are up to this challenge but it will be an interesting and fun challenge.

That’s it for today.  Hope you enjoy your day.  Thanks as always for checking out the blog and be careful.
