All Stages

Pictures : I walked a few hundred feet along the road frontage and took a shot of this flower, it looks like I got most stages of its life in the one shot.

Not my best image, but it’ll do.

Apple : I have 3 things that are Apple, a Macbook Air, iPhone and watch and yesterday they release updates for all of them and I don’t believe how big some of the downloads are! Couple hours (Maybe more) activities to get it all done, still working on it. I kind of like Mac’s updates, interesting to see what’s new!

Good day, everyone.

Wild

Pictures : Here is a wild flower in my neighbors lot.

Full-time or Tiny Home : Sept 11 was my 17th year living in an RV. I don’t think I can say that I am a full-time RVer any more (seeing as I don’t move any more), but I can say I am a full-time tiny home dweller.

I think my Affinity, practice is slowly starting to pay off. Still need to play with different types of images. Practice, practice, practice!

Folks, do have you a fine evening.

Repairs

Today I have been trying to help friends get their swamp cooler going, but having no luck. They have decide to sale it for a very reasonable price, so I offered to buy it, and try to get it going. I told them if I got it going without adding any money I’d sell it back to them for the same money. I guess it can be a little project for me. That is about all I have done for this day.

After the repair I got done in the hospital the other day, I’m kind of trying to take it easy for a while. I didn’t want to get too deep into it, but I did have a heart stent added to the old jalopy, and I still need another one, and likely more. Makes one think about just what all additives that they put in their old jalopy as the have years passed, LOL. 🍔 🍕 🥓 🌭 🥩 🍩 🍪 There isn’t any of those that I don’t like, but I have been avoiding them for the last 5 or 6 months. I miss my good fat cholesterol soaked foods, but then, if not careful, I may miss a working ticker with good plumbing a little bit more!!!

Okay, enough of my chatter for today. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Doctors

Spent my day dealing with doctors and hospital yesterday but we’re back home today. Just like an old car, got to get a few replacement parts and a repair here in there. You know, just to try to get a few more miles out of that old jalopy! LOL

I’m slacking up and I don’t have any pictures for today. Just kind of relaxing and chilling out.

I hope all you good folks have a great day and a great weekend.

Tree

Pictures : A snap out of my iPhone 12. This tree was in front of the local hospital where I went to get some blood work done the other day. Nice looking tree, I think.

Doctors : Off to see more docs tomorrow and this time in Las Cruces, NM. I had to arrange for a driver for this trip.

Folks, have a good evening.

More Practice

Pictures : Here is another one done with Affinity Photo. At this point, I think practice is the best I can do with trying to learn Affinity.
One of the tools I prefer on Photoshop versus Affinity is the selection tools, however, I think I can adjust.

Have a nice day.

Affinity

Pictures : I am thinking I am going to adjust to Affinity Photo, but the testing is still on.

I did this shot with Affinity, but it looks a tad over cook … maybe.

Folks, do have a good week.

Juju Tree

Pictures : It is the time of year that the Juju trees start to produce their fruit. This little fruit is maybe inch and a half long and a inch in diameter and has the density of an apple.

Have a good evening.

Sunset

Pictures : Here is a Sunset that I post processed in Affinity. It will be interesting when I run into one of those photos that is kind of on the edge of being usable, and I can bring it to life in Photoshop … will I be able to do that in Affinity? We’ll see …
