Playing in Photoshop

I finally took some time to play with the Photoshop Elements 8 program.

Since there are different parts to the Mac version,I have been busy

learning how to edit the pictures.

I still have lots to learn,but there will be more time for that come winter.

Here are three pictures,taken in the last few weeks.

This first picture is one of our Tulips.

I thought this made it look like a serving tray,and I like interesting trays.

The blossoms of the Oak tree are quite pretty.

A little bit of playing around resulted in this image.

Finally,another small leaf.

This is a shrub on our yard,and does not grow very tall.

The leaves are this lovely shade of red,so it is  an attractive addition to the yard.

As I look at these small leaves and one simple flower,I am reminded that

we need to give thanks for all things.
