I got the message.

 

[Marilynne]

I feel rejected

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y M A R I L Y N N E !!! I'm sorry if I missed it. I hope you had a great day! :cheerful:

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Ted. You missed it by two days. It's tough having a birthday this time of year. I had a wonderful day - did laundry, made some stuff for Christmas dinner, rode my bike and had fried shrimp at our favorite deli at the Big Apple Shopping Bazaar.

Both Green Cay and Wako were extremely overcrowded yesterday. We went to both to watch the Christmas spirit when there's only one parking space left and the person waiting the longest didn't get it because they weren't in the right spot.

Anyway, I played around with some of the in camera stuff on my D7100.

Tree with Air Plant - untouched

Green filter

Color Sketch

Color Balance - picked the wrong shot (didn't have glasses on) - meanth to use the original

Thanks Steve. I did have a great birthday.

This guy was in my dead lemon tree when I got home from a short bike ride. I asked him nicely to please wait until I got my camera out of the bag. When I returned, he was on the ground. I asked if he wanted his photo taken. He jumped in the tree again and posed for me. My Dr. Doolittle was working today. You will note the blur of the tail. He was wagging it.

 

[Scott Murray]

Happy belated birthday Marilynne hope you had a great day

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Scott. Yes, it was a great day.

 

[Scott Murray]

Thanks Scott. Yes, it was a great day.

Thats great , I thought the 22nd was bad for a birthday but I could not even imagine what yours was like hehe. I always got birthday/xmas presents combined
