A Line of Pines

I feel a lot better about this photo than the rest of the ones I have put up this week. I always like my pictures better when I venture out of my back yard. I will admit being sick this last week was not good for my photography! Bronchitis made me not feel good and the cough syrup (with codeine) made me too sleepy to care about much.

This is a picture of pines that my dad planted years ago along the highway. I've always loved how these pines line the highway.

I put the pictures through some Photoshop filters. I used the magnetic lasso tool to choose the sky and used a blue filter, then lassoed the trees and used a green filter. The filters really made the trees pop.

American Pride

I thought that considering today was Inauguration Day, I should take a picture of something patriotic. I did a little Photoshop work on it to make the flag stand out. I also had to flip the picture because the wind was blowing the flag the wrong way and I needed the light to come from behind the flag.
