Here are some random photos I took around the yard the other day.

: Maple Bud

: Maple Bark

: This branch on my maple tree broke in this weird, square shape which seemed to sort of frame the empty sky. It struck me as interesting for some reason.

: Daffodil
Three of these because they’re my favorite flower and they actually bloomed this year! They are in serious need of dividing.

So, I made a DeviantArt Fella months ago with Photoshop because I wanted to see how well I could mimic vector art. Well, now that I have Illustrator, I wanted to do one the proper way. So, I made this.

Oh, it also counts for Illustration Friday’s theme, which is eyeglasses.

I just ordered my next set of promotional postcards. So, if you’re on my postcard mailing list, you’ll get one of these in, oh… a month and a half? Something like that.

Candy Cane Hearts

Double Heart Candy Canes 500

I think this will be next year’s Christmas card. I was playing with HDR again. Real HDR, not HDR-style. The image didn’t really need HDR, but… eh. I like how it turned out, though I haven’t printed it, so it may need some adjustments still.

I love the spot healing brush tool in Photoshop, because after several days, the snow I used wasn’t perfectly clean. Also, when you set a candy cane in the snow, it starts bleeding red into the snow. So, I had to correct that as well.

And here’s another one.

Snow Pictures

As some of you may have heard, it snowed a bit in the last week or so. I didn’t go out taking many pictures because it was cold and I didn’t want to. But here are three I did manage to come up with. The third one’s my favorite. I was playing with HDR on the last two and I fiddled with the colors a lot for the bike.
