A watercolour or two

I've been playing with my image editor (Imagefolio) and came up with this attempt at making one of my photos into a watercolour -

Here are a couple more -

And this is my favourite -

Well, haven't you been having fun! The gentle colours in these photos were perfect choices for your experimentation. Great job.

Oh yes, I can see why the last one is your favourite - it really looks like a watercolour, very very beautiful!

Sorry Adrian - nothing so sophistaicated as saving settings for me - it's just try this and try that until I get something I like... a bit like my cooking.

Thee and me the same then. Every meal and every edit is a voyage of discovery.

Sadly, Donnas, No. These are all from my stay with my brother during my six week summer break. The rest of the time I live in suburban Merseyside - anything but pretty or quiet!

The Cast

This is my main blog insofar as it is the one I try to ensure has at least one entry per day - and usually two. It is also the one which has my Friday My Town Shoot-out on it.

My home is in Pensby on The Wirral in Cheshire, England but at the moment I am on holiday in the Outer Hebrides, staying at my brother's near Stornoway. (Somewhere I have a little map that says I am here and points to Stornoway but I can't find it and am too lazy to make another one). This is the cast of characters who appear regularly:-

Me - sometimes known as CJ or John and otherwise known as Scriptor Senex; Jo (alias Partner-who-loves-tea and also known as Partner-who-hates-being-photographed); Bryony (Food-loving-Daughter); Bryony's husband Mark (Son-in-law-who-cooks); Helen (Daughter-who-takes-photos); Helen's husband Ian (a.k.a. Son-in-law-and-Friend-who-loves-Otters); Richard (Son-who-watches-films);
