Kildeer Chick Update

I'm reluctant to check too often... although the nest is not far from an oft-used sidewalk!  I used my 300mm lens (handheld) and stayed behind a tree, and this is really cropped.  Today there are only 2 of the original 5 eggs left in the nest (in the center of the photo) and when I zoomed in on this I noticed the little fur-ball chick on the right.  Mom and Dad were close by but I didn't see any other chicks (2 missing maybe) in the few shots I took.  I'll keep cautiously checking.

Happy Easter!

Literal Paint By Numbers


I used Glowing Edges under the Stylize Filter in Photoshop, turned it into black and white, then inverted it so it was a mainly white canvas and black/grey lines. added a few numbers using the text and taa dddaaaaaa! Paint by Numbers!

flowers under glass

Used a layer mask to blend market flowers and glass blocks. Yes!! But can I do it again? Not quite satisfied with the mortar transparency.
