My French Friend

We found this guy standing on a street corner drinking his wine… straight from the bottle… and making cat calls to passerby's. He posed and I gave him a Euro or two.

IPhone Sunset




Taken 12/ 15 from Capistrano Beach…. Catalina is on the right side of the horizon, San Clemente Island is the lump toward the left side of the horizon… about 50 miles away. I did very little to enhance this. Taken with an iPhone.

Another Cooper's Hawk?

I think Wild Bill's Cooper's Hawk came for a drink at our birdbath this afternoon.

A Girl and Her Dog in B & W



I posted this a day or two ago. Since I posted that I made a few changes: I toned down the red shirt and car, I cloned out the leg / foot in the bottom left corner as well as cloning out the nosy German Shepherd. I then converted to B and W with a bit of sepia toning.

What do you think??

I'm noticing a significant contrast/darkness increase when B&W images go up on this site.  I imagine it is there with color.  Appears to be a new Google thing that we will just have to adjust for.  Or, perhaps I should restart the Thorazine.
