News: a new Record
I am a compulsive poster. It’s nice to get the occasional pat on the back. Thanks, WordPress! And a hearty thank you to those who look at my work. That’s the most rewarding part of all. 😺

Butterfly and Friends, February 24, 2020
“Do you like butterflies?” I asked the woman who was preparing my taxes. “Not really,” she replied.
Q: Who in the world doesn’t like butterflies?
A: Tax preparers, it would seem.
Adventures in Macros and Black & Whites
I thought that this lily made a nice macro. I decided to check it out in black and white.
Not so fast, Russell! Photoshop Elements 2020 offers six kinds of black and white:
- Infrared
- Newspaper
- Portrait
- Scenic Landscape
- Urban Landscape
Above you can see Infrared Effect.
This is Newspaper. I think that both are striking. The other modules are more tame and alike each other; that is to say, samey.
News: A Big Thank You!
Thank you so much! This is exciting news for me. It’s taken me some time to recuperate after my extended hiatus from photography. Inspired by my friend, Cee Neuner, I am considering starting a blog about clinical depression. I’m not afraid to own this problem, but starting something as big as Beautiful Photographs may be beyond my abilities.
Proof that I will photograph just about anything!
Life in the Land of Rocks
This is my contribution to Fandango’s Friday Flashback. I wasn’t too pleased with any past November 29 posts. This photo is from November 4, 2010. The setting is Joshua Tree National Park.
