Playing with Photos

No new photos; however here are the results of some things I learned at a Photoshop Elements course this week.
Here is the original photo of Michael at the Thanksgiving dinner.
What is missing?

The background could be improved.
Eliminate the refrigerator and toaster.
An original picture of Joshua with the flash shadow.

Besides being cropped, what else is missing in this picture?

I have been trying to discover how to get rid of a shadow like this for a long time.  

No shadow and a better colour.
An original picture of Daryl.

Here is Daryl minus a few wrinkles, with a bit of a haircut, and without the shadow.

Interesting before & after photos. Though I can't see what's missing in the Joshua photo!

Look behind him. The shadow counts as one. There are two other things I took out.

I had a hard time finding it too. Answer: the door knob is gone.

Margot's right... but she has the advantage of living there.

Thanksgiving 2022

We gathered with Mark’s parents and Megan Paul and Tom at Mark and Margot’s place in Barrie. I did a selfie with Josh’s phone. Josh and Ella Megan, Paul and Tom wore masks when they were not eating Note Tom's special mask Mark's parents, Dolores and Bob At the table. Unfortunately my head is in front of Tom. Bob and Dolores had stayed there to look after the dogs while Mark, Margot, Joshua and Ella were in Europe. During that time, Bob, looking for something to do, washed all the wine glasses in the chandelier. Margot bruléed sugar on top of the pumpkin pie. It was the best ever. Disappearing fast! The salted caramel apple tart, which Margot also made, had an extra good flavour. Guess who cleaned up!

A November Walk

To make the most of the nice fall weather which was about to end, Megan suggested we meet for a walk at the Brickworks. Because there is a market on Saturday, it was difficult for Paul and I to find parking. We had to wait until we could find someone who was leaving.

Megan’s Dutch tandem bike was of interest to some of the market goers. No problem parking with a bike.

His children and grandchildren like to visit. Carole and Roy took their bikes and firewood for Gary. Paul and I brought our bikes and Charles (also a member of the club, and a minister)  Charles was minister at this church one summer. There are 4 churches, each a different denomination, in one block in Fenelon Falls Next we visited the local farmer’s market to check on the butter tarts. We then rode10 km on the trail to a chip wagon for lunch., plus 10 km return. Charles is not going very fast these days. It was a very slow ride. BUT …the next time Charles comes, Gary will take him on his ATV. (Gary has a few of them) After the bike ride Gary took us for a boat ride on St...
