Flower Explosion Grand Finale

As I told you, the front of our house had its Flower Explosion, the grand finale. It happened as expected the azalea bush in the front of our house bloomed. It’s just amazing how this bush is a bunch of sticks and some old, dried leaves most of the year. Suddenly, in a couple of weeks, it turns into this beautiful canopy of a bright combination of pink, white, and a bit of yellow and red flowers surrounded by colorful green leaves. The best part is, this happened every year.

To show you what I mean, I went back to my color slide days. Found and transferred a slide (that shows how long ago the azaleas have bloomed) to digital. It’s one of the images in the set. I’ll also add one from the previous year. See if you can pick it out.

To see more flower pictures, go to the Photo Gallery Flowers section of my website.

 

 

Artist Inventory Sale

Thank you to all that came out to the Artist Inventory Sale Last Saturday, April 24. MAG has its bests sales day. Almost everyone sold at least one item (Sorry, Val). The surprise was two people purchased my book on digital photo-painting called “Digital Photo-Painting using Adobe Photoshop.” (shameless plug) This book shows you how to create digital paintings I sold at the art show using a photograph as the base reference image using Adobe Photoshop. and a stylus and graphics tablet.

A Long Time

I have to take our car in for service and inspection next week. Because it’s the only car we own, I might have to rent a car. Last night, I saw a Hertz ad. It got me thinking; it was at the end of April, 40 years ago, I ended my employment with Hertz as the manager of the bus drivers at Washington National Airport. I had just finished computer school, got married, and started a new job in the computer field. Have things changed!
