Playing with a Picture

Some of you people do amazing things with your pictures, and I wanted to be able to try it with mine too. So, I went in search of a program (a free one because it makes no sense spending money for something I don't even know whether I'll be able to use). And I found two of them:  PicMonkey and Photoscape.

Using PicMonkey, I managed to do a little experimenting. And this was the result:

This is my original picture. The couple of Bluebirds that are nesting by the clothesline.

And this is the result of my playing with it, using PicMonkey. I thought it looked interesting, as if it is an old card of some sort. I liked the grainy aspect of it. No big deal but interesting anyways.

The other program I did not use because you are supposed to download it first. It scares me since I am afraid of messing my laptop. Did any of you download it? Without a problem? I'd appreciate if you could tell me.

I've made a new friend. He is another sweet bird that has been coming to the feeder we have on the deck. As soon as he arrives, he whistles loud. And I respond from the kitchen:

- Hi there, sweetie!!

And here he is:

He is shy, though. I've taken many pictures of him, but he is so fast that this was the only one I could actually save. The others came out blurred, as he fled when he saw me. Little shit!

Oh, and I know what this one is: a Red Wing Blackbird - considered as common as butts... I still think he is cool and sweet.

Lastly, here is my take on last night's moon. Big freaking deal, right? Only a zillion other people took a similar picture.

It was fun, though.
