I like messing around in Photoshop--but still just scratching the surface, it's such a huge program. Have promised myself that this winter I'll really do some intensive study but I'm already into my gardening and behind on s.g. commissions, so I'll probably continue learning when I need something in a hurry!

Anyhow, here is the Christmas card I did this year. The background is a 15" high scar in a giant cottonwood in one of our meadows; the mushrooms above it survived the first snow. Can you see Mojo, the second cat? Obi is looking at him. I should have taken better pics of Dave and me. These were scrounged out of older photos--but I started the exercise as a lark, hadn't planned on it turning into a card.
