Shall we give this another try?

Nothing from me since 2011 is a terrible record, which I will attempt to right....or slowly begin to right. While I haven't been posting here, I have been posting everywhere else it seems: on four Facebook pages I help manage, two blogs that I am the sole poster for, another blog that I help post on...when did this type of media begin to consume so much time. I get paid for several of the aforementioned commitments, but the others are for love. Beginning now, I want to try to do a better job of writing here about topics that I want to share....my first love. Using PhotoShop has become a passion, so I've played with photos using different filters. I must take a class in this, but in the meantime I am having fun. I will share some of the results here from photos of a spider and a tiny wildflower. The first is Spider in color pencil; Next is Spider as watercolor; Flower as a mosaic
