Tropical Storm Fay

Here is a photo on Clearwater Beach as everyone was waiting for Tropical Storm Fay to hit the gulf coast.  I have never seen the beach so empty.  Luckily for those vacationing there, the storm decided to go around and miss this beach completely.

Mexican Grill

This is a photo of an outside restaurant.  I used Photoshop CS3 to change the photo a bit by using the filter option, crackle tool .  It gives the photo just a little different look rather than your ordinary picture.

Golden Cactus

 I took a long hot hike in the late afternoon at Fort McDowell State Park in Arizona to get this photo as we dodged two snakes. Who says there aren’t snakes out here?? I think the golden brush and the mountains in the background with the cactus make this photo very nice to [...]
