Dragonfly wing 4 - photoshop blue

Since I couldn't find my pretty blue bubbles again, I revisited Flickr Colr Pickr and found this incredible image of a dragonfly wing to share instead. It reminds me of a tile mosaic or a stained glass window. How beautiful! Now if I could just figure out how to do a mashup!!!

Dropped it again!

The one thing that I have noticed about learning new technologies is how important it is to stay with it once you learn them. Playing with technology has been frustrating for me because it isn't something I do everyday, and it isn't something that I want to do everyday. I'm one of those "old school" types of people to which technological advances are of passing interest, but not something that I generally expend time and energy on. I'd much rather be outside really moving about or reading a book--physically holding and turning the pages--not downloading one from online. So small glitches and technological snags really irk me. For example, I just spent about ten minutes visiting a 3rd party website from Flickr and selecting a terrific bubbly, blue picture to download to my blog and talk about...I downloaded the image, blogged about it, and have now lost it!!! I don't know where it went or why, or how to get it back w/o having to re-blog the whole thing over again!! Grrr. This seems to happen to me often, and the only remedy for it is to spend more time learning about the technology behind what I am doing. *sigh* Time, time, time, not enough time!! So here's my whineblog about it. Perhaps I should have called my blog Learn and whine, huh? At least I'll have some knowledge of these websites, should any of our young customers be experiencing problems with them.

Blue Bubbles

Found this at a Flickr 3rd party site where you can pick out a picture by color wheel. I'm feeling bubbly today, and blue is my favorite-so here's the one I picked! It always amazes me how people can manage to create such beautiful imagery! How? How? How? Do they do it? It was really nifty to see the images people came up with to represent each specific shade of colors.
