Doom

Was playing around with light and my camera. Couldn't resist. ;) Yes, be afraid. I messed with it in GIMP, made the boarder (yeah!) and all. (This is the one I was working on for over an hour and lost. I redid it.) So, away...

My House

This is for Hannah, my childhood friend. :) Love you.

Dreams

Took this at the Potomac sunset the others are from. Saw the clouds, and they reminded me of mountains. Actually took the time to mat it some. *claps* And editted it a little. :D Enjoy.

Loverly full size.

To Kill a Mockingbird

I'm fairly happy with this, mostly because I discovered a new thing I can do while working on it. Enjoy.

Into the Light

I'm not really happy with this. Had to crop it a lot because I could not figure how to shade out the Sam and Frodo poster to my left while making my right bright enough you couldn't see my bed. :P Enjoy anyhow.

The Cost of War

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."

-Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865.

Once a Son

One of Abraham Lincoln’s sons, buried in Arlington. I believe it was the first one to die, and I think he was ten years old, but I don't remember the name or age. Sorry. :-P

Blissful Innocence

Took this at Arlington, General Rober E. Lee's front yard. If you didn't know, the National Cemetary is there. During the Civil War, Yankee's invaded and made his house a hospital. And I'll stop before I start rambling about it all and bore you...

Notice the mocking bird and little Christmas tree.

Wishful (a first attempt at a manip)

I started making this... a while ago... It's done, finally. :) It's a little bit blurry, and it's not as fanciful as I would like, but I"m satisfied. Any comments/suggestions are welcome.

Joyous Greeting

This is my great great great great great grandmother. My mom just gave me this picture and I had to share it--

Yeah. This is me. In the snow. I don't really like this picture too much but oh well. :P

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Singing and dancin' merrily
In the new/old fashion way

(So what if this picture has nothing to do with the song? It's got rocks in it!)

Augh. Someday I need to get good fonts so I can start making borders and stuff for this... :P Oh well. Maybe later...

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Took this during the short-lived snow fall at my house the other day. :)

Question about the website: Should I invite some people to join like on Dreamweavers or something or no?

White Crystal

I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know...

All right, this isn't really snow. It's my dress. :P I just spiffed the picture a little. Ah, well, who cares?

Look here for full size.
