Last week our family returned from a fun, quick trip to Ouray, Colorado. The “million dollar highway” was a thrill to drive, and the views were postcard spectacular. It is a cool little town with a neat hot-spring pool, plus a hiking trail on the perimeter of town that is stunning. We broke up our trip on the way with a stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where you can’t beat a night at El Pinto, and Old Town Albuquerque.
The trip was refreshing for me, and I am reminded of the simplicity of Jesus’ action to often go away to the hillside to pray. Time with family, priceless. I thank God for our fun, laughs, swimming, hiking, pit-stops, movies; it was a ball. The re-charge is invaluable.
I am still having a blast learning how to use our camera, a Sony a300, so after taking a ton of pictures and weeding through the keepers, I discovered a problem. No big deal, just the images still needed some tweaks with exposure, clarity, crop, etc. I discovered an open source photo editor, Picnik, and it rocks! It is as fast as lightning both in uploads, downloads, and in editing itself. Check out these pics and also Picnik.
