Drawing from a Photo: Jigger Creek Falls

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

Several days ago I posted a picture of Jigger Creek Falls (here), which we visited in northern Georgia while on my birthday trip. The drawing above is based on another picture I took that day. I used Photoshop to convert the photo into a line drawing.

I first learned how to turn a photograph into line art of Scott's wonderful photo blog, Finding Another View.

Betsy and I will be taking a blog break for about a week. I'll be back about April 4, the yard willing.

Flowers From Our Yard: Mon Cherie Daffodil

More of our daffodils are blooming now. Each passing day makes our yard more and more colorful. We've had this beauty in our garden for a couple of years and we really like it.

Gazebo in the Moonlight

I keep trying my hand at night photography. I'm not always successful, but I do like this picture of a gazebo under a full moon. The picture was taken at the Islander Inn on Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, back in December, 2010.

Niagara River Below the Falls

I like the color of the water in this picture of the Niagara River below the falls.

Not-So-Super Super Moon

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

Saturday night's moon was called a Super Moon because it had it's closest approach to earth in 18 years. The moon was said to appear to be enormous on the horizon. It wasn't quite so super by the time it popped over the mountains to the east of us, but it was still beautiful.

Chocolate Satin

Muddy water flowing down a creek doesn't usually present a pretty picture. But I shot this photo just above Clay Creek Falls in Dahlonega, Georgia, last week after a heavy rain. The water makes me think of billowing chocolate-colored satin.

Flowers From Our Yard: Brecks Colossal Daffodil

Nothing says 'Spring' like a bright, sunny daffodil. I'm happy to say that Spring has arrived in our yard.
