DIPPING A TOE IN

"Dipping A Toe In" (12-23-14 001v3[3]) was just tortured into this form from a much older version of the six year old original pic of mine. I haven't been over to this area of our retirement community's grounds in quite some time. And stumbling across the several versions I have of this old pic, has reminded me to hie that way occasionally. BTW, to the far left of this pic are gardens our residents (for the most part) plant and tend. And in the fall, some gorgeous red leafed trees appear here, as if by a miracle. At least that's what it felt like to me the first time after I'd moved here from New York City. What!? -- I thought -- fall trees in California? But back to this pic. I don't even know if this wonderful stag horn plant is still there. And I've not been paying much attention to those fabulous architecture shadows that get cast near day's end. I must admit, some of this has to do with (whining alert) not having a good pic editing program. It leaves me less inclined to take pix if I can't work on them as I want to. This blog has suffered directly due to this: I just don't feel I'm able to produce pix I want to showcase here without my old Photoshop program. Sigh, that sounds suspiciously like how I feel about my life in general for some time now. I'm old and less able (in too many ways) to do what I most want and am used to being able to do. Ah well, today I dip my toe back into this blog with a slightly satisfying new version of an old pic.
