“Genius” With All The Trimmings!!!
Pretty tall tree. How’s the best way to trim it?
Everyone’s been wondering, and soon there’s not an employee to be found from housewares to car accessories. They’ve all gathered for the show.
Because someone has come up with an smart idea.
Just put a guy up on the tallest wheeled ladder they have–perhaps the one for changing ceiling lightbulbs?
And station a guy below, not just to hold it steady,
But to wheel him around the tree. If he just doesn’t get dizzy, the perfect way to wind the lights around, stepping down a step or two every revolution. Somebody deserves a raise for thinking this one up! (The store is Walmart, in Ajijic, Mexico. Yes Emily, there is at least one Walmart store in every sizable town in Mexico!)

Ornate
From the excesses of Day of the Dead to ornate expressions of art to a faux-fancy shower knob, ornate can be found anywhere!

Trick Photography Made Simple
Can you guess what this image is? It is something in my house. I took the shot and then worked with light, color,saturation, contrast, cast, sharpen and definition in the Photos editing bar on my Mac. Last, I used the retouch (bandaid) and by option/clicking, chose details to duplicate and paste over portions of the photo to “paint” with details of the photo. By enlarging and decreasing the areas chosen to copy and rotating the photo, I was able to get more variety in copying and pasting different sections. There is something about the photo that reminds me of my dad’s old flintlock rifle.
But actually, this is the original–just a detail from a photo of a drawer in my kitchen.

Selfie Challenge
My prior selfies have been word-oriented, but in this challenge, the assignment was to do a photo selfie, so here are a handful!
