This week’s adventure took us to the mountains to check out the status of the Lakes. Sadly, in spite of all the rain, the reservoirs still look a bit like mud puddles and the marina at Howard Prairie is still high and dry and the boat ramps all end up on dry ground. But, with the clouds it was difficult to get a decent picture so I decided to make lemonade and let the clouds be the star, with a little help from our local snowcap which still has a little snow to contribute to the water supply.
Unfortunately, when I upgraded Photoshop so that it could recognize the images from my new camera it messed up my plug-in software that helps make the clouds stand out. Two and a half hours later I still don’t have it working right but I did find a work around so I could use the software. (This is why I never update Photoshop unless I absolutely have to). I am also sad that the purple and yellow flowers in the foreground don’t show up too well in this image.
