I contemplate this view a lot. I am not always sure if I am thinking or just pretending to think so nobody will bother me. It is hard to know when I am writing about it and not doing it now. This is the Real View.<\/p>\n

I took the Real View because of the fog… and in spite of the fog. It is a kind of defiance, I think. Summer is such a foggy time for this area. I feel I have to see the beauty in the fog. I don’t really see beauty in this photo itself, but there is a kind of beauty in the calmness of it.<\/p>\n

After I took the photo, I couldn’t stop thinking that someone would be able to find my window by looking at my neighbor’s house and that I should conceal my view further.<\/p>\n

I did it with Paint Shop Pro. I didn’t draw it as I possibly would have at another time. I am not very confident with Paint Shop Pro, but I am pleased with how this turned out.

No, I didn’t read the help file.<\/p>\n

I tried another of the “Artist’s Effects” in PSP and came up with the Blue View.<\/p>\n

The quilt was made by Angie Woolman for a series of classes she taught there called Color Me Orange<\/em>. Color Me Orange was very blocky and orange. Somehow this picture is just an impression in my mind of that quilt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
