Peony, The Shed and Photo Manipulation
Hello peeps. I know, it's been a while. I'm having a total knee replacement on my left knee of Monday, June 8. I'm ready for this, excited for this. Turns out I'm having a SLE Lupus flare just in time for surgery. Just lovely!
I've played around with an application I found for my cell phone. You choose a photo and manipulate it using different effects. There's many variations to choose from. This is the original photo. It's a peony I planted in my yard this year. It's the sorbet variety. Love.
Here's the watercolor effect that I liked the best. I can just imagine making cards!
Here's another one. You can really see all the texture in the adobe wall.
The Shed is a restaurant in Santa Fe. I ate there for the first time a month or so ago. It's very colorful and the food is good. One thing that's their "signature" is that you don't get a sopapilla with your food; you get french bread! For those that aren't sure what a sopapilla is, it's kind of like a hollow donut that you squirt honey into. Yum.
This is the sign using the same effect as on the peony. Below are "normal" photos of The Shed.
This last door cracked me up. Yep, it was low alright; perfect for me though!
It may be a while before you see me again. I think of my blogging family often. Each of you have found your way into my life and my heart.
Peace,
Kay

Hi Kay,
Absolutely love that effect with the flower! I will have to investigate to see if I can do that :)
Hope everything goes really well with your operation.
Hi Kay, You will be in my prayers. I know so many people that have had kneel replacements and they all feel so much better after the surgery and the few weeks of therapy. I just know that you'll be wanting to hike the desert when this is over. Photo manipulation can be fun, you did great and it's always exciting to find another creative outlet :)
Take care and listen to your doctor.

Just a note to say, I miss you. I do hope that everything is alright.
Your blogging sister,
Connie:)
Hi Kay. Wondering how you are? Hope the knee replacement went well and you are making a good recovery. Anne x

Wow Kay, I love the photo manipulations you've done. Amnazing you can do this sort of thing on your phone. Sorry to hear about your knee and that you are still having some pain, and that you had a lupus flare just before surgery - I do hope you are feeling tons better by now!
Do start posting again! It will help you take your mind off things and it's great getting back in touch with Blogland again! I am so happy that in between feeling awful I am able to do some creative stuff - it helps so much. My mojo departed for so long after my cancer diagnosis that it was impossible to settle to anything until I was recovering from surgery, but my life feels very different now my mojo has returned, even if I can't actually do a lot!
Thanks for your lovely comment - very encouraging. I'm not feeling too bad today which is great. Glad you liked my latest moulds! Just got to try them out now and see if they work.
Hope you have a good week.
