Stormy day coming?

Good Morning, Gentle Readers!

Today's image is titled Echoes. I made this yesterday while experimenting with a couple of filters. I didn't like what had been done to the 'moon' at first, but the overlay in the next layer really changed that and wiped out much of what I didn't like before.

We had another storm through here last night- One that had the power flickering, though it stopped short of going out altogether. Still, the power fluctuations did a number on our air conditioner, which hasn't been fully functional in a while. So I decided to get my on-line stuff done as quickly as I could in case everything should go out today, including the note-taking. I should take a look at the math text too; I had to download a number of huge files for that, and I won't be able to treat it like I do normal texts because of the sheer size. Wish me luck!

Until we meet, Gentle Readers...

Storms

Good Morning, Gentle Readers!

Today's image is Green-Laced Gem. I made this a few nights ago as I was working on embedding more objects inside a bubble-light effect. It just seemed to me that I had a lot of space that wasn't being used, so I added the green lacing to it. Thus, the name.

I don't have a whole lot to say about school today, other than while my Associate's degree will be done in December, I'll be rolling on over into a Bachelor's starting in January. I think I'll be ready for a break, much as I would like everything to be done and over with. Still, considering the sheer quantity of material I have covered, I have done rather well!

Last night, we had a storm through here. I'm not really surprised, and I expect more in a couple of days, when that string from the west hits us. My friend in the mid-west says that her storms tend to be strong. That leads me to wonder why they are comparatively tame by the time they arrive where I am- Not that I object! And not that I wish to jinx myself either, considering the havoc that Hurricane Isabelle, and even Rita and Katrina wrecked through here!

Until We Meet, Gentle Readers...
