Above is a sample picture of one of the backgrounds (Size has been reduced for blog ) Sizes of actual backgrounds are around 1600 by 1200 and 300 dpi

I hope to be adding even more free items very soon,  and I will post the updates to the site on my blog here as I do.

Thank you

I've got plans for some new brushes, new backgrounds and a few more texture/stock photos. I'm also working on a scrapbook section of freebies in case anyones interested in that. I would love to hear any feedback or comments on these things, or if you have any suggestions, or a wishlist of ideas.
You just have to forgive my slowness at getting these things done, as I've explained my personel life regarding my family as well as some health issues keep me from being as on top of things as I would like.
I also want to thank everyone who visits my blog, my flickr photos and my website, and I hope you continue to visit. I don't do this only for myself, it's all of you who visit that really inspire me, so I want to make it a place to share things that my viewers would like to see as well as my own artistic  visions.

My youngest son came with me (in case I needed help getting back to my car) lol
Bob and Jimmy (the yougest son) spent most of the morning/day cutting up wood with a chainsaw and packing it into the back of the truck just to drive it up the driveway and unload it into our backyard. There was an empty lot across from us that the owers decided to have cleared to make a park like setting on it, so of course Bob wanted some of the wood they took out.  He's got a lot of it and now has to paint the ends and stack it until it's dry enough to work on.  (Bob doest wood turnings with a wood lathe)  Jimmy got to have fun cutting the top out of a barrel for us to use as a new burn barrel, I think most of the time he was trying to learn how to play the drums from the sound of all the banging, but in the end he did get the lid off and only a number of cuts and scratches in the process.  He then got to reap his rewards by filling the new burn barrel with lot's of stuff to set on fire. He's going to be a firefighter I think someday, or at least I'm hoping it goes in that direction and he isn't the one's that the fire department are looking to lock up.
The picture above shows how not to use a hammer. Jimmy was not suppost to hit his arm, but after a few times he learned that it hurts

I decided to take it at the Docks in Charleston this morning and ran into some "Big" lazy Sea lions lounging on the docks. Made for some great photos and I sure enjoyed being up and close with them (not so close as to get charged lol)  I will be posting more of the photos later today on my website and will include a link from my blog to them.  I guess that's about all for now, my hands will only let me type so much before they give out on me.

]]> Fri, 26 May 2006 00:35:07 GMT http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-JJRicd0wabKlKbeypyG9B5XWN_FhAZZW?p=11 I've set my sites on a camera I would love to own, so I'm taking donations of a penny a person, maybe in a few years I'll be able to own it. For now though I'm very happy with the one I have and it does take some very nice photos.
Well one of my dogs in nudging me so I'm either in need of letting her out or she wants to have some time on the computer herself. (I knew it was a bad idea teaching her to type)
