Road Trip

We were so tired of the heat here in Las Vegas, we decided to take a day road trip to Utah to cool off a bit.

We own some land up there, so what better excuse than to go check it out to see what's developing up around us.

I shot a few pics on the way up and pulled over to take some photos of the scenic view, way off in the distance is Zion National Park.  As we were heading up to Duck Creek, UT we saw a sweet little deer grazing on the side of the road.

It was nice to get away and see some green and smell the fresh pine filled air.

Do you have a favorite day road trip?

Love this quote...

I saw this quote on Pinterest the other day and just loved it.

I added it to one of my photos I shot during the Spring.  I hope that it makes you stop and redirect your thoughts as it did mine.

Wishing all a very wonderful holiday season and a prosperous New Year!

Vintage Appeal

I've seen a certain effect being used on photos lately, probably some really cool "Action" for Photoshop, they have this vintage feel and look to them.  So, I've set out to figure out how to accomplish this with my available photo editing programs.  Here's one I've done in both Paint Shop Pro and Picnik.com (used on same photo).

What do you think?  Am I getting close?  Any suggestions or how to's would be extremely welcomed.  Off to try more!
