My morning PaD (get the hubris of that comment – like I just routinely post morning, afternoon, and evening PaDs a la Dr. Pepper [10, 2, and 4]?!) seemed to fool no one. Everyone of course knew it was a barrel cactus except perhaps for Cliff who seemed a bit confused ;-) !

So this is a bit of documentation sending a message to Herb to show that I was able to crawl panting up another hill tonight on my daily walk. I post this sunset shot from an angle none of you have ever seen before. (Because I never climbed that hill with a camera before.)

Of genuine photographic interest is the original image was a RAW shot. So, in Photoshop I loaded it once to emphasize the sunset, and once then again changing my levels setting to bring out the foreground. Then I erased the top half of the sky getting some level of light on both sunset and the path in the foreground.

As The Crow Flies?

Every day at sunset (and sunrise) the local crows flood the sky. I marvel at this and wonder about these birds. Are crows loved or hated? They sure are regular and noisy.

Oh, the crows were taken in a separate frame, trimmed out from their sky, and pasted here so I could make my point. That is is what it really looks like!
