TECHNOLOGY

I think technology is wonderful. I am amazed with the Ohio University Libraries Learning 2.0 project and how much I have learned so far. This is definitely a computer challenge for me.

I always challenge myself to raise something new every year in my flower garden. This is one of my favorite pictures of my sunflowers and a view of my daughter's car.

Discovery Exercise: Create a blog post about one that intrigues you.

The one that intrigues me is FD Toys at www.portraitprofessional.com.
It was amazing to see an original photo image and then see the image after the enhancement with portrait professional. This is definitely something I want to try with some of my photo's at a later time.
