Rainy day blackbirds
Hi there! I'll be so glad once we get to warmer weather to stay. Just seems like
Jacksonville should be very warm (mid-70's) in late March, but it's been cool and rainy. This time
of year lots of people get sick, including me & my family. We're doing better now, thank you.
The Beauty & The Beasts show has ended, sadly. But I'll be at the Beaches Museum on Saturday.
Stop by if you get a chance.
I love and miss the sun. Supposedly there is a condition with the acronym SADD where people get
depressed when they don't get the sunlight they crave. I might be one of them, especially if there
are government benefits involved......
Anyway, I decided to try to capture a rainy day image that would transmit the feeling of the
gray sky and a little depression. (Hmmmm, does a gray sky really have feeling?) One day I spotted
what looked like a good shot of some birds silhouetted in a leafless tree a couple of houses down.
It was raining, so I grabbed my camera and got in my car. The birds were gone.
I proceeded to try to find this group of black birds by driving down one street after another. I finally
spotted some, so I stopped. My camera kept getting a little wet because I had the window down, so
I gave up after the chase about 15 minutes. The original version is on top.
The funner Photoshop version is down here.
I was after. I might crop a little more off the top. Which one do you like better?
Watch for this piece of art to become a national best seller after I complete my Marketing Matters
class for women owned small businesses hosted by the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce!
PHOTIP: Don't be afraid to experiment. Use your digital tools to add interest to your images.
Just remember to save them with a different name to preserve the original.
Blessings!
