This is my personal website.

Here is an image I vectorized and then changed back to a bitmap.

I found the design template for this site on the internet at http://www.karenblundell.com/ and started fooling around with it. I took the photo of the leaves last fall just outside the lobby of our building. They were on the grass between the buildings of our apartment complex.

Using the magic wand tool in Macromedia Fireworks, I extricated the leaves from the grass of the original photo--the yellow leaves you see to the left--and copied and pasted them on a white background. I also made the the translucent green container this text is on by making a 2 by 2 pixel image and saving it as a pattern. I learned how to do that here.

Here's one of my favorite websites. It is World Wide Panorama: http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp/index.html
It has 360 degree panoramas from all over the world. You can see what many places look like in all directions. Here's a panorama of Sandy Beach where I often walk with my husband. http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp1204/html/JohnCornegge.html
Here's what the same place looked like yesterday:


A hillside of fall trees of yelllow and orange and green over the Elbow River.

And here's one from Zion National Park where my novella Joshua Tree Uplift is set: http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp604/html/RogerHoward.html
I think it the most beautiful place on earth.

And here is Silverado Canyon where I used to go with my dad for long weekend drives on dirt roads in our old Scout international and hikes (also where and from whom I got my love of nature and the outdoors: my dad!)
