Tilt shift generator

This is my new favorite app on iphone and I pad, It makes things look like little toys. This is an actual photo when we were in Venice. If there is depth of field it really turns things to toys.

Color splash app

Jim playing the part


-- Post From My iPad



Posting from iPad

I figured out to blog on iPad ..... It was tried for the first time last night and
Could not figure out how to do it, it was not working from the regular Internet....I took it to the apple store and we were able to figure out how
To do it.....I down loaded apple app called blogger press. It works now,and I will be down loading some of the fun things I can do in the application market.....one being photo tropodelic which turns your picture into a Peter max in front of your eyes.... The other being Color splash, which allow you to hand tint your photos. And lastly camera bag instantly turns your photo into old style camera. It is crazy fun......thank you catherine of www.happydayart.typepad.com. For showing such amazing photos from above apps.

tulip fields

as we drove down the small back roads we found this tulip field....the sky was dark, but for one magnificent moment while we stopped to snap these pictures, the sun peeked thru on this field only, and while the light was on the tulips it started to rain, a truly divine moment.
