Was a nice little surprise today to catch a big race.
As my friend said he felt a little European getting to experience the prestigious Tour of California. I sipped my Peet’s coffee (a large caramel mocha with whole milk and whipped cream) and waited with the spectators.
Here is a little photo story about my magical trip through the meadow
Amazing how the exact same scene can look so different depending on how you treat it. All I had when walking on this path was my iphone. It was a pretty little scene but it needed something more. So I played with the filters in the PhotoStudio app for iphone. Now each one looks so different and I can’t figure out which I like best. What do you think?
Below is a gallery of my daffodils and tulips that I thought was quite fitting for Easter.
I love the character that tulips get as they unfold. I also love them because they are the first to welcome Spring in this area.

Apparently every year Pantone (the world authority on color) picks a color. For 2012 it’s Tangerine Tango (Pantone 17-1463). You can download the color palette from their website.
I was a bit intrigued by the color choice for this year and realized they might be right. I have been leaning towards warm charged colors for a little while now. I wondered what would have happen if I did a little color overlay on a sunrise I recently took. Below is the that tangerine tango overlay and here is a link to the original. It’s a subtle difference but see what you think!
Just announcing that I am starting up my daily image blog again that I did back in 2010. I was focusing on other things in 2011 but a daily post even if small really helps you when you look back on things.
I will have it separate from my main blog so I don’t muddy it up with my daily dribble. You can still see it though if you care to by looking at the RSS feed on the right.
After 40+ years Chapman’s Dog Grooming of Antioch is going mobile! Here is a closeup of part of the graphics I am doing for the mobile grooming vehicle.
The image of the dog is high resolution so it’s enough for printing on the door of the vehicle and the grass and bubbles were created in Adobe Illustrator so they could be scaled at various sizes. It’s not complete yet but I will be posting updates as the project moves along. I have to credit tutsplus for the wonderful tutorial on how to create realistic bubbles!.
