Apps With Your Camera Group: Selective colour app. SOOC.

I dug into my treasure box and found these glass marbles from my youth. The Sunday Challenge - Something that rolls.

For my group "Apps Within Your Camera." this collage feature in my camera adds a soft tone. Each photograph is added to the next box. It is done all in camera. Here is nice one I put together with this feature of some family members. Each photograph is also available in RAW for me to process individually. I liked how this one turned out, setting up each shot one by one until the boxes were full and then pressing a button to lock them in position. So easy to create a family memento.

Another odd scene at the taxidermist.

Happy Fence Friday for February 5.

Somewhere on the GR 20. Just an afternoon hike, not the whole route. Although this is a slight incline, it might be the flattest part of the cross island trek.

Another in my series of Cattail/Bulrushes. Look closely, this one seems to have some personality.

Apparently today was Robbie Burns day. "There are more statues of Robert Burns around the world than any other non-religious person, except Queen Victoria and Christopher Columbus." This one is outside of the Hotel MacDonald in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/robbie-burns-day-celebrated-1.3418506
