a taste

here is a taste of what i'm working on in my spare time (which is hard to come by). i am experimenting with filters and effects in photoshop elements and then printing them in new and exciting ways (more on that to follow). i took this photo today of a little building that is in the local cemetery. not sure what purpose it serves. it appears not to be used, actually. it has stained glass windows that are totally covered by trees now. the roof and gabels are awesome. the gutter end caps have fleur de lis on them. how cool is that? i actually got VERY little time to work on art projects today. i took a few moments to take photos at the cemetery, more will follow. watch my 4th of july posting.

i did get the rest of my plants planted. some years they sit there until august before i get them all into the ground. i tried not to buy too many this year. i do feel good because i do have a little veggie garden planted. i think every one should plant a "victory garden" to grow their own veggies. it may not be enough to live off of for the year, but it helps cut down on the amount of gas utilized because all of our veggies come from far away states or countries even. i don't consider myself all that old, and i'm fairly certain that when i was a kid the bulk of my food did not come from mexico or chili. i always try to buy locally grown (in the spring, summer & fall). winter time you just can't help it if you want fresh veggies. i will buy frozen or even freeze my own sometimes.
