My biggest surprise was when I added the “soft light” layer. Painting on it brought out detail or deepened shadow nicely!
It's Freezing Out!
Taken in my garden this morning as my breath turned to mist and the world was frosty white.

Hmm, I could do some of these things!
At The End Of The Day
Yesterday was a glorious day. It was one of those rare days when the sun shone, and blue skies were the rule. It finished with this lovely sunset as I drove home.
So of course I had to stop and risk life and limb by running onto a narrow bridge while rush hour traffic edged past carefully. I think it was worth the trouble, don’t you?

A new book will feature photos of Sarah Ferguson, Paris Hilton, Kate Moss and Geri Halliwell and it’s in aid of the Elton John Aids Foundation.
Victoria Beckham has been photographed naked – aside from a piece of Cartier jewellery and a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes – for charity.

Householders Against Service Charges
This afternoon while I was in town I saw a peaceful protest against household service charges on Cork’s Patricks Street. Stories in the newspapers have been accompanied by photographs of garbage piled high on the streets of Cork as the Corporation refuses to collect rubbish bins without tags. Unfortunately, bins put out at night quite often have their tags stolen. Local TD Kathleen Lynch has complained but the City Manager is on record as saying that there’s no problem!
The People’s Republic of Cork have their own analysis of the problem, offering suggestions for what Corkonians can expect for their hard earned cash.
Imagine it. A loud hailer booms: “Ladies and Gentlemen! Roll up! Roll up! For JUST A FIVER (plus the annual standing charge) have your bin collected by the amazing, the spectacular, the heavily unionised Cork City Rubbish collectors!”
At least this time I had a camera, the last time I was on Patrick’s Street 2 elephants went running past and this is all I got with my pitiful camera phone..
GIMP and Photoshop Links
