VACATION

The places we have gone to
and the trips that we have taken
Photographs of love and laughs
of another family vacation.

It doesn’t matter where we go
as long as we’re together
At different ages, on these pages-
we’ll be on vacation forever.
Gina Marie Lauchner

Getting ready for vacation, carting the twins back and forth so they can help out with Cub Scout Daycamp and doing a round of annual doctor visits doesn’t leave a whole lot of online time.  Hopefully things will slow down a bit after we get back on the 5th.

Just all of my recent little girls together…created in Poser and Photoshop.  I hope I get inspired to create again soon as I really enjoyed doing these.

In a little joy, O Earth, In a little joy;
Loving thy beauty in all creatures born of thee

id you know that you could use your Paint Shop Pro Tubes in Photoshop?  Well, neither did I until I read the Complete Guide to Using PaintShop Pro Tubes in Photoshop.  You’ll need to download the Paint Shop Pro Format (PSP versions 5-9, including .pspimage, etc.) filter and unzip it into your Photoshop plugins directory, then all you do in Photoshop is browse to your tube directory and open the file.

Dream-Song
By
Walter de la Mare

Sunlight, moonlight,
Twilight, Starlight–
Gloaming at the close of day,
And an owl calling.
Cool dews falling
In a wood of oak and may.


Lantern-light, taper-light,
Torch-light, no-light:
Darkness at the shut of day,
And lions roaring,
Their wrath purring
In the wild waste place far away,
.

Elf-light, bat-light,
Touchwood-light, and toad-light,
And the sea a  shimmering gloom and gray,
And a small face smiling
In a dream beguiling
In a world of wonders far away

The summer wind, came blowin’ in - from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long, we sang a song - and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts, and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights - they went flyin’ by
The world was new, beneath a blue - umbrella sky
Then softer than, a piper man - one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter winds - they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days - they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies - through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind - the summer wind, one summer wind
The summer wind
