Ok, you guys gotta help me!

I'm looking to buy Photo Shop (since that's what everybody is using & all the tutorials I'm finding on textures are instructed in Photo Shop & I really want to learn how to add textures)

But I don't know what version to get.

I can't afford the expensive versions, so which one should I get?

Please help!

BTW, I sold my Bose Radio/CD Player, but my Minolta is still for sale.

If you're interested, please let me know!

Watery Wednesday & In a Yellow House Photo Challenge - Clubhouse Road

This lookout is about 5 miles down a rough gravel road, but the view is worth the drive!

You're overlooking Current River between Ellsinore & Van Buren, Missouri.

The 2nd photo is zoomed in on the bend in the river in the 1st shot,

so that's why it's so hazy.

Scenic Sunday - Sky Line Drive

A couple weekends ago I took a drive around the area & found myself

in Van Buren, Mo, which is about 45 miles west of home.

It wasn't a great 'sky' day and these certainly aren't mountains by any means,

but these shots were taken near Skyline Drive Bed and Breakfast.

If you're interested in buying a Minolta camera or a Bose Wave Radio/CD Player,

see my previous post.

UPDATE: 6:20am IT'S RAINING - IT'S RAINING! YaY!

For Sale - Bose & Minolta - My 600th Post

If you're interested in buying one or both of these, please let me know.

I've had both since 2004.

I've ran maybe 8 rolls of film through the camera & just quit using it because it isn't digital & I only turn the radio on during storms when I'm listening for local weather.

Make me an offer!

Watery Wednesday - Keener Springs

A couple weekends ago I set out to take some pics w/ my new camera and decided to go to a childhood vacation spot...

Keener Springs.

I remember lots of fun times here w/ family & friends where we'd float down river from Markham Springs in a canoe,

then, bbq, & explore the cave, which I'll show pics of later.

That bridge in the 1st & 2nd shots didn't used to be there and I can remember treading through that cold spring water,

then climbing that rock wall w/ my brothers to reach the other side.

Keener has just recently opened back up after being closed for 17 years

and they've really spruced the place up!

Pontiac LeMans 326

This car sits across the highway from where I work & it kept gnawing at me to take pics...

I added different effects, experimenting w/ them.

To the 2nd one, I added a 'grainy' effect & I'm not real happy w/ the sepia, but I'm showing it anyway.
