Thhis is the same shot in a previous post that I have manipulated in PSP using the Optiverve Virtual Photographer sunset plugin. I really like the way it enhanced the photograph. How do you like the difference?

This is also at Trindad State Beach I was standing on a small dune taking thes last two photos.

Trinidad State Beach is a great place for taking photos. I have been told that up on that bluff is a trail where some great photo ops can be had. I haven't been up there yet but I will be going there on a sunny day. Sunny days are infrequent here on the North Coast. Lately by the time the sun does come out it is almost time for it to go down again. I used the 10 x optical zoom on this one and it came out looking like a painting. I did not alter this photo in anyway with PSP or any other program. What you see is the same my camera saw.

California Coast

This is looking south from the Indian Beach Trail at Trinidad, California, It was a beautiful day just slightly overcast in the distance which gives the effect of a blur. This photo has not been altered in any way; it exactly the it came out of my Kodak DX 4330 digital camera. I home to update to a DSLR camera before the end of the year.

The Pacific Ocean

I shot this photo at Trinidad State beach. It was very windy that day, the ocean looked so beautiful. I love photographing the ocean waves and sunsets over the Pacific ocean. I love to go sit and just listen to the sounds of the waves and the birds talking to each other. God's creations are so awesome and magnificent. He made boundaries for the ocean that it cannot cross. The sound of the ocean is so calming.

My Grand children.

My two sweet grandchildren on my birthday in 2006. They bought me the red hat. I am so fortunate to live near them. My grand daughter, will be 11 this Saturday. She is growing so fast. A very talented young lady. I just went to a recital a couple of weeks ago. On Tuesday this week I went to a baseball game where my grandson was playing, their team won that game but not the next one, they came in 3rd place in the championships.
they are such great kids. My son and his wife are wonderful parents, I am so proud of them all.

Opal (Spotted Owl)

Opal is a Spotted Owl who lives in Grants Pass, Oregon at the Wildlife Images Rehabilitation and Education center where Phoenix was also hand raised. these birds were on display at the Godwit Days festival in Arcata, California on April 21, 2007. I was so blessed to be able to see them in person and photograph them up close. You can learn more about the program at Wildlife Images by clicking on the link below.

Where do pets come from?

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?" Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more.

We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us." And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me.

Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."

And God created a new animal to be a companion f or Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

And God said, " I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG."

And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And they were comforted. And God was pleased
