Jenifer Lyn Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Sue, those are brilliant! I especially love the "Magazine Cover" as well. You take beautiful pictures, I can see why you try to steal every moment you can in the summer for taking them! Thank you for sharing, what true treasures!

Susan Ewart Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 43 minutes ago, Sue Thomas said: Challenge. Sue, where I work in an industrial area that borders natural areas there is a few empty lots (2 of which are in the middle of the industrial area). they are always grassy and that's where I picked my Western Salsify weed to photograph. a couple weeks ago we went to cut some more for me to photograph. I only took cutters and no camera. We get there someone had cut the long grass in the lots. What we saw was ground squirrels... a lot of them, too many to count...and no camera. I've worked there almost 10 yrs and never once saw a ground squirrel. My doctors office is also there and I parked by one of the empty lots a couple days ago and there they were again, not more than 10 feet from me. They are adorable. I had no idea they were there at all. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I was wondering where you've been, @Sue Thomas. I should have figured it out after knowing you all these years. Looking forward to seeing the results of your summer photography. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrie Kinkel Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 @Sue Thomas, I'm very glad to see you back in the campus with all those wonderful photos in equally beautiful layouts! I wasn't too worried not seeing you here for so long, after all this more or less happens each summer and sometimes in winter too, depending on the weather conditions. I hope the weather at your place will remain good for some time so you have more time to shot more photos, enjoy your animals, go kayaking etc. Here we have a very strange summer, juni was exceptionally hot and juli was cold and had so much rain that there was some flooding in certain areas. The plus is that the heather is blooming fantastic and rather early. Of course I made photos which will appear in layouts in the coming months. Now I'm following the scripting course, we just started but I can already see it's very appealing. Scripts are made in another "language" which is very logical as far as I can see and being a beta that suits me to the T. But it is time consuming! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have figured it out after knowing you all these years. Looking forward to seeing the results of your summer photography. It has been a hot, dry summer, we've had less than a 1/4 inch of rain since last year. With less and less snow each winter these past 4 yrs. Between my outdoor activities, kayaking, riding, cycling, photography, gardening I've been ploding away doing cards, 2024 calendars, and advent calendars. As I'm going home for December and January. I'm also doing calendars for my little granddaughters using the photos I took of them when I was home last year. Sifting, sorting, and selection photos to keep from this year's many thousands of shots is a laborious, time consuming job too. So all in all it's been and still is a busy summer, but I will continue to be active while I'm still able. The hummers have arrived for 3-4 weeks, making their long trip back south, some birds are already starting to flock too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jannette Nieuwboer Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Je zult een goede camera hebben Suuze Tomas. prachtige foto's maak je. Ik heb alleen een mobiel met een redelijk goede camera voor enkele kiekjes. Die ik dan geregeld vergeet te gebruiken. Dan is de dag alweer voorbij zonder aan de camera gedacht te hebben. ?

Everyone has been very creative. My family at home have said the same thing about the weather, they too have had a great deal of rain. Not the summer they were hoping for. I was home this time last year, and the heather on the mountains were blooming then. Rachael sent me some pics of the heather on Mynydd Yr Gaer only yesterday, which she took whilst out exercising the horse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this time I couldnt read the comments. One day the computer programs will know our own native language and translate autmatically. That would put the AI's to a good use.

I highlight the text I want to translate, right click, copy. Then in Google translate paste. You don't need to use the clipboard. I don't need to select the language, it automatically detects it once I've pasted it . Edited August 18, 2023 by Sue Thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jannette Nieuwboer Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Ik ken een beetje Engels, maar zo nu en dat ik een woord van twee oversla. Hier is mijn bijdrage aan het thema van de maand. Deze heeft mij een paar uren bezorgd. Te veel items naar mijn zin. Ik hou van rustige en serene beelden. De naam van het lettertype is: Morgen, ik heb de foto vorig jaar zelf gemaakt. met mijn mobiel, nu is het dit jaar te regenachtig. IK ZIE GRAAG HET POLLEN OP DE BLOEM.

I've been looking for "frosted glass overlay" and can't find one. This is how you do it!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Mary, sorry it took me so long but I had to check where I had that "frosted glass overlay" from. It is one of a pack of frosted glass overlays from Inky Deals and that is a freebie. They have a lot of different backgrounds and overlays as freebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ik vind het geweldig hoe je de bloem hebt toegevoegd aan de twee maten aan weerszijden ervan. Inderdaad zo'n prachtige bloem! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
