A Burst Of Color In Winter

I stumbled on a site that I found too addictive for my own good. I've spent too much time there uploading images and playing around with their programs to manipulate my photos. Take a look at what one can do with one photograph.

This is the original photo I used.

Using different utilities, I created these...

Go have fun!

Moggy, yes it is! It is new to me, so the excitement is still high... I've infected a couple of Gatherites, too! Dannielle, Ivy, and Vicky have been there playing since they found my link :-)

Stephanie, yes, I agree!

I have a huge folder, full of other pictures that I created. LOL

Must resist temptation. . . . must resist temptation. . . . must resist temptation.

That looks like too much fun — but I have to pack. I am moving. No time for play.

Must resist temptation . . .

That's what drew me, Gale... I loved the glass paperweight effects it did to my pictures!

Dianne, you are moving??? Where?

I was wasting time there yesterday, but I didn't get anything as good-looking as those.

Shannon, thanks!

Madame D... aren't they almost blinding? I love those Croton bushes. I don't know why, but they are called San Francisco back home. I am guessing the first cuttings came in the luggage of Filipinos coming home from visiting San Francisco, California?
===

Aniko, I didn't get this on the first try, either... I made a lot of eggs in more ways than one. :-)

Can we use the photos created there as avatars here?

I believe so, Jane... They allow it to be posted in websites I have not even heard of before. They have buttons you can click on to make it easy! You can Permalink, pick out 20 different Quick Post buttons for websites like Blogger, MySpace, Zanga, etc. or copy the code and take with you to wherever you want.

These photos are so much fun. Thank you for posting them all.

Thanks for posting the link as well. I've never heard of this site but I'm heading over now to check it out. It looks like a blast.

Also a little color in winter is always a plus.
