Explore New Places

Yesterday was a great Saturday for exploring new places.  Adam and I watched our first roller derby game.  We sat in “suicide seating” which was on the ground right on the rink.  Even better, our home team – the Charlotte Roller Girls – won their bout.  Next Adam took me to a great burger joint called the Kickstand.  It was great food and I surprisingly (or maybe not too surprisingly) loved having avocado on my burger.

In honor of exploring new places, I felt inspired to tackle the skill of changing signs in photos to say what you want.  Here is the original photo I took at a North Carolina beach.

This time around I don’t have a very strong favorite and I like them all.  Take all of them as a “sign”

Reflect

After yesterday’s photo word art centered around the quote “You can’t plow a field by turning it over in your mind“, I still had remnants of inspiration.  Last summer my father came to visit, and I was thinking about our adventures because he is going to be returning again.  Last visit, he discovered an amazing privately owned lake that is open to public visitors.  I took the following photo at that lake.

I wanted simplicity with my creations.  Here are my afters.

I am in love with the above.  I really see my self taught Photoshop skills growing in the above transformation.  Yay for progress!

Don’t Just Sit There…Do Something!

I was listless last night when I stumbled across this quote: You can’t plow a field by turning it over in your mind.  It inspired me to use a tree picture I had taken and turn it into inspirational word art.

Here is the before.

This is my second favorite of the group.

A friend commented that the text was hard to read, so at the last moment I created the version that became my favorite of the bunch.

Inspiration to get things done is always needed!
