Van Gogh Tilt-shifted

tiltshiftvangogh20

From Wikipedia;

Tilt–shift photography is the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital post-processing; the name may derive from the tilt–shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.”

Half Moon Beach

This was one of the favorite areas for a Frontiero family get together when I was young. Cookout, games, food and swimming. lasted from about 8am til 7pm. Great Memories.

DO YOU BELIEVE?

Do you believe in the After Life or another dimension?
I believe after a loss of a love one you reach for anything that assures you that they are safe and happy.
After the loss of my son Paul and my Father within two months of each other in 2011, my belief became stronger after experiencing “Signs” of their presence. I guess it helps you get through the shock of losing a loved one.
Here’s something I found on Facebook that’s Fun and Amusing. Give it a try and share your results in the comment section.

Ocean Alliance and Seven Seas Whale Watch form a partnership

From Amy Kerr;       Screen-Shot-2014-02-26-at-9_01_57-AM

I’m working with Heather Lee to get the word out about Ocean Alliance’s new partnership with 7 Seas Whale Watch beginning this spring. The goal is to join forces in educating the public, not only about the humpbacks that 7 Seas knows so well, but also about the ocean pollution we study. We’re all really excited about working together for the first time and wanted to get the word out as the whale watching season approaches. Here is the announcement we posted http://www.whale.org/ocean-alliance-forms-partnership-7-seas-whale-watch/.
We were wondering if you could help us post it on GMG?
Thanks for all your help and support!!
Amy
