… around and about

Years ago I had a website dedicated to providing a review of happenings around and about my sites. Maybe the time has come to do this again, but here, rather than in a separate site.

Diamond

Diamond in the making … After my clean, precise “Doily” how about something messier? It started with a nice photo of a daisy – and went downhill from there. There are two dozen, yes – 24, transformations of that photo in my files. They were created over a month’s time. Here are the (currently) final…… Continue reading Diamond
