Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge (Part 2)

Also.......I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, and this was my first attempt at post-production, with that software tool. All I can say is.....OMG, there is so much to figure out with it, but I think it will be well worth it. I can use all the help I can get.

1. Fantastic

I'm a bit jealous. I wanna go!

I love the way you named all your photos. Good job, no, excellent job!

3. It is amazing....

......I've been going to this area (Boynton Beach, FL) for years, having family there.

Who knew that this was a mere 15 minutes away, and one of several outstanding locations for wildlife, birding, and enjoying nature.

Palm Beach County does a fabulous job with its parks, nature centers, wetlands, etc.

Needless-to-say......I see lots more trips in my future.

And thank you for the kind words......they are most appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. - Glad you like the names, too...........but the pictures just seem to name themselves, usually quite appropriately.

4. Beautiful work! And I certainly agree about Elements 8....

I downloaded the 30-day trial version from Adobe's website just a couple of days ago, and I am quite pleased with its capabilities; much better than my 2004 version of Microsoft's Digital Photo ImagePro10.

I am going to purchase Elements 8 at Costco ($75.00) when my trial period expires.

Welcome to DU Dallas Dem! :hi: :D

5. Thank you, Adsos....

........always enjoy your work, as well.

Been here for awhile, but don't post nearly as much as I'd really like to.

Got my copy of PSE8 at Costco, as well. Beats the heck out of Picasa's editing tools, and everything else I've tried, also.

Appreciate the nice note....thanks!
