Looking for a different look I decided to use a free photo software, Perfect Effects Free9 by on1, for the transformation from color to B&W on this photo. I also hope to get a few more “To Do” items out of the way this weekend, in the hope that I can get a project I am looking forward to moving, well any direction would be good.

Several days ago I liked a post at spanishwoods titled “Old Things That I Like. I was inspired by the post as there is many old things I like but Life ( broken lawnmower, broken car,broken but now fixed ceiling fan and working on a gift to surprise my Bride for her Birthday this week. Oh and work, yeah work) plus investing in some software I hope will help me develop a new look to some of my stuff, has me sidelining that project to next week. Till then here is a creative piece I am calling pocket change….change is good.

One of our favorite places to be us and enjoy art closed down last year. We had bought several pieces from her and I purchased a piece done by Judith Egerton for our 20th wedding anniversary. My Bride and I loved the place and the owner, so we took her closing personal.  Last month Wild Earth Gallery re-opened in a smaller but not less stellar location. It made me and My Bride glad to see our friend doing what she loves most: Promoting and creating art. Here are a couple of photos I took after she closed or put another way “Art After Dark”.

Lawnmower broke beyond repair, ceiling fan part no longer available and my repair to speed up a slowwwwww filling gas tank only marginally successful. So what to do? Go hang with My Bride at a BBQ, Blues and Bikes festival that’s what! Saw some old friends made a few new acquaintances and enjoy good music, BBQ and saw a lot of bikes. Here is one from the day.

 

With my A37 out of commission till I can get what I need to clean the sensor, I am relying on past photos for my place here in blogdom. So for Paula’s Thursday’s Special:Glow I am using one I took with my little Canon SD300 a couple years back. This sign was displayed at our booth at a local eatery and we found it to be good advise to live by.

You maybe cool but you will never be “a cat wearing sunglasses while watching fireworks”cool. Photo of a t-shirt decal found @ thrift shop, taken with my iPod Touch 6th Gen. Post edited with photogene4 & BeFunky
