Working With Photo Shop Brushes
This started out as a test using the Photo Shop brushes that came with the program. I have used and am familiar with the old Paint shop Pro brushes and wanted to see how the two compared. The cup and feather was shot with a black cloth background and was kind of blah. I think the new background makes the coffee cup pop now how about you?

In Loving Memory Of Baileysue
I am posting this picture in loving memory of our friend and pet Baileysue. Bailey fought illness for over two years before loosing the battle. She was a real fighter and many dogs would have given up a longtime ago but she loved life even if it was taking a nap in her bed as I worked on the computer. Dogs are so unselfish in their life and mostly only want to make “you” happy, so they forget about their aches and pains. Bailey you are already missed and will always be loved by us. Mike and Sharon “we are proud of our girl”!

Custom Made Turkey calls
The calls here are custom made and come from the State of Washington and the state of Missouri. There are pot calls, scratch box calls and one crow locator call for your enjoyment. The background is from one of my camouflage shirts. The crow call is made in Tenino Washington, the wood is African Black Wood. The turkey feathers are from real wild turkeys.

Fly Fishing On The Yakima River
I was on my way to Yakima on a business trip when I decided to eat my lunch in the Yakima canyon and watch some drift fishing (flies only catch and release only) if I was lucky. As this raft went by it made a perfect image to adjust when I got home. This is converted to CMYK with the black sharpened and the other colors slightly blurred to give a nice effect. I have enjoyed this image for a number of years but not all images are going to work for the above method of processing. Enjoy.

Maple About Ready To Bloom
The maple tree in our back yard blooms each year and this time I was in the right place at the right time. A little Photo-shop work and re sized for the web gave up this very colorful image. This was shot with my old Nikon D-70 camera and my Tamron 18 -200 zoom lens.
Russ Filming Mount Rainier
Russ using his new Commercial video camera on one of out trips over to the elk feeding station. This was on the way home as we hoped to capture some color in the sky besides clouds or clear blue. Mission accomplished. The Video was used in his Inspirational video business called the Good Book Company

Something New “Unwanted Guests”
We had some visitors to the peak of our garage this last week and they were dive bombing us as we went to and from the garage. I sent many pictures to our nephew in Long Beach CA for a species ID and he came up with “Paper Wasps”.

Aluminum Turkey Pot Call Custom Made
Custom made Aluminum surface pot call with two strikers to call Tom turkeys in during the spring time. This one was made for me by Pappy’s calls in Lilbourn, Missouri. The pot is made from Osage wood and has a glass sound board. The strikers are blood wood and red oak. I superimposed the turkey image on top of the surface for the heck of it and it is not on the actual pot. The Scotch Brite is to condition the pot surface and the striker ends when in the field. You can see more of his work at the following link: http://pappyscalls.com/shop/
