Photoshop Variations

My variations are all similar. I like looking at subtle differences of color. I added a bee to the flower. My goal was to change colors, red to magenta as well as to change surfaces of the aquarium background.

My Mascot: Pooh

My mascot Pooh, look for him in my photos. My mother had a spare "Pooh" and sent it to me. My nephew Ray (3 on 2.07.09) has the exact same bear. If you look at the blog archives I've posted a picture of my refrigerator. On it are pictures of my nephews, my son (back in middle school) and comic drawn by nephew Ted, aged 8.
