Photo Art Friday...Combining photos...

Sharing today with Bonnie's..

 

I am still thinking about the nice trip to meet two old friends in San Diego.  This will be 

a reminder of that time for many years.  Embarrassingly I did find that one could overlay photos on picnik.com ...the process was right there in front of me all the time..I was doing things the hard way! 

 I had a little trouble figuring out the fade qualities because I am new at this.  There you see us on the ferry  

(Laura, Bonnie, and myself) from Coronado in the second layer used over the photo taken on the way

 back when it was getting dark..then I add the flower by photographer Nancy Claeys...you may see something else hidden.  Any suggestions? Anyway, now that the site will be closing soon, I'm sure I'll find another I like, 

maybe even better.  

         Today was full of sunshine - tomorrow holds rain and cold, our typical fickle March weather ;)

Beachcombers...

The above photo is a poor shot.  My two friends had gone down to the water while I waited, somewhat fatigued and wearing the boot the podiatrist told me to wear until my heel is healed.  But I don't know why I did not move closer for a better shot??

When I arrived home I decided I wanted to still capture that moment with what I had, so I used all the effects I found on picnik.com to come up with something worth saving as a memoir of our visit.  I'm trying to decide which of the various results is my favorite and I think I've found it.

Which is yours?

Mine is the last one or the one with 

sepia and sun...does it

 deserve a frame I wonder...

Last but not least I went back today and used the hypnotic effect and lo and behold, a clam shell!
