I hope you had a lovely long weekend. Our weather here in New England was beautiful, sunny and warm but not too humid. Perfect for gardening, parades and cookouts. Thanks to my husband (the gardener) our yard is looking very nice. I am taking lots of photos as different plants start blooming.
I hope you are not tired of iris - this pink iris appeared most unexpectedly near the pink rhododendron bushes. We figured out that it was one that was transplanted last year but did not bloom until this year.
I find it very relaxing to experiment with all of the digital effects I can apply to my photos. Here I used a "posterize" filter to alter the flower image. This effect is one of my favorites. I use the Creative Memories StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 software for my digital experiments. I can create images like this to use for card fronts, adding sentiments to suit the occasion.
I made a .png file of the pink iris to share with those of you who do digital scrapping. If you do download the image and use it, I would love to see what you make.

I have been busy reorganizing our home computer workspaces - the Mac has moved to the kitchen which is very handy. I've also been working on learning some new software - more about that soon... The Gypsy updates have inspired me to to start using my Gypsy again so I will have more files to share soon - I have already designed quite a few but need to test cut them this week.

I have this same pink iris in my yard. I got it from our local iris socirty plant sale. At one time I had all my iris tagged with their names. One day I came home from work and our big half Huskey dog had got loose ans was laying on a lawn cair on the patio with all my tags laying beside him. He had collected every last one of them.
