Our New Looks

We did a little running around yesterday to ready us for Danica using our car for much of this week. After shopping and visiting the poor. little crocuses, we stopped for our traditional car-coffee break. As usual, we took a selfie. It's good to keep taking them to record the changes in our appearances as we keep on aging. 

The face paint app doesn't work as well with sunglasses.

I have been trying icm (intentional camera movement) with the phone as well as long exposures, but I am not having much success, so here is a new, regular crocus photo. The crocuses have been sparse this year and/or furled and/or withered due to the miserable weather, but I have kept trying.


I have posted the following two crocus photos previously, but I re-edited them to try to make them more interesting.



It is grey and rainy today, so we probably won't even get out for a walk.

  4. It is warm here but rather wet so not a day to be searching for flowers. The tiger looks good with a beard!

  6. That's a great look! When I first read your blog, you were doing all sorts of filters. I didn't know there was such a thing at the time. I still don't know how to use them very well. (or at all?)

  8. You look wilder somehow! But I have a vision issue that means special effects on photos just look blurry to me.
