Photoshop Healing - Before and After

Before and after!

Here's me mum and dad when they were young: 


 

A working man has more important things to think about. 



 


 

 

 

 

Addendum, Shanghai Fire of 2010

Over this one more time, shall we?

Inferno that rages all day with furious heat, leaves steel skeleton bare:


Smoky fire burns for less than an hour and causes complete structural failure and freefall collapse.


Uh-huh.  Yep.  Absolutely. 




WIO Diary

Such is my addiction to marching around the island to peppy music, clicking on things to make them appear, that I really don't even care that I'm getting some exercise.  But it's already had benefit, I feel more active and it's noticeable that I'm able to move better.  Otherwise I wouldn't get much exercise at all... I mean, in Washington in winter, when my job is cleaning the house and reading with kids?

I told the kids I'd lost five pounds.

Mike said, "How do you know?"

I said, "There's a magic mirror in the bathroom.  I say, 'Mirror, mirror on the floor, how much do I weigh this morning?' and it tells me!"

He said, "That doesn't even rhyme!"

Making a custom bottle label 

 


The assigned topic was "Environmental Awareness". I fiddled around with this theme and that idea, nothing was happening and the due date was coming.

Then I got a big grin and did this!  


 


 

Next assignment, "Cultural Awareness". 



 An artistic photo frame! 


The Reflection project. This is my back yard after a bad flood! 


Did this from a tutorial-- 


How about a new kind of perfume?

WIO Diary: Windmills

I told Ed I had just walked two and a half miles.
He said, “You did not walk two and a half miles!  You didn’t even make it off your little rug!”

Hahaha.

Here's my little rug, isn't it pretty?  Got it at Home Depot for $12.  It has thick stress-resistant padding.  Didn't even notice until after buying that it was MADE IN USA.  Cool.


I suppose I didn't build these windmills either?
Look how cool.  You have to get some distance to even see how tall they are.  Yay, now my island has wind power to keep all these lights on!

Taking pictures of TV with digital camera sometimes makes the colors look strange…


Here's Dave's island at five in the afternoon. There's different light for different times of day on the island, and morning and evening are so beautiful.



Another day I did three and a half miles to nowhere. I have every single song, constellation, and clock piece except for the 12 noon ones. The island is only 23% built though. Lots more to go!

I built some "luxury houses" and was startled to find it a 900 sq ft bungalow on a postage-stamp lot. Culture difference, right?  Like American workers who go to Japan and stay in housing "the size of a bathroom" and start to go bonkers. It's a matter of perspective!
I was also surprised when I built the hotel, and couldn’t see the top from where I was standing. In my world a hotel is three stories, max.
