will be different than I see it - regardless of what it is - a photo - words typed - as we interpret these things - differently - yes, the image and the words are the same - but how we processes it - different - one isn't better than another - just different -.

while this computer was at Doc B's .. photos were taken here and next door .. it was as though I was missing something .. yes, the habit of going to my computer .. I don't tend to miss something .. until I can't have it .. . THEN - I can think of 100's of reason why I really do need it .. when my car was in the shop .. could think of all these places I really needed to go .. Mr C said, "drive my car.." I drove around the block .. gave him the keys back .. "what's wrong?" asked Mr C .. me - it is too low ( I have a CR-V ) that is up higher .. and the brake - you have to have your foot on the brake to start the car ! if you have a Mazda, you know what I mean .. that is weird .. at least to me, so I walked around the yard .. searching for photos .. Found these Swallowtails .. Dark one next door and the Yellow in our garden .. we've had an abundance of Skippers .. and the Zinnias are still bloomin' ! but, all is good .. got some needed things off the external hard drive .. helps very much .. and -- thank you PJ for the Adobe link :) © All Rights Reserved

the sun did shine while my computer was not home - this will probably be all I do tonight other than dig out of the piles of emals - Shock wave Flash ? How the heck am I supposed to find that? Know it is with Adobe - But this editing is all I could manage - PicMonkey wouldn't let me in without the Flash - No, haven't put PSE 6 on yet - Just glad to have this back so I can see your photos - Thanks for your patience, Peggy © All Rights Reserved
