Bob cut the figures from plywood when he did. We’ve painted them three times.

I like the canvas filter. Don’t use it too much. I like it here on the west wood in winter stand. We’re getting some rain this morning.

West wood here. Winter. The weather here has been remarkable! Blessed splendor.

Same or similar image but processed with different set of filters and perspective tools. Some like one but not the other.

It’s not a ski hill. Looks like it could be though. That or a minibike racetrack. I could do some photo edit magic and place bike riders racing up the hill around the imaginary bend. In the meantime, I’ll just look and wonder where the shadows come from.

Winter has only now just started. We haven’t had any snowfall or below zero temperatures yet. But still, it’s not too early to think about spring and the color it brings.
