Cold and windy. More winter than spring. But beautiful.
Click to embiggenate.
This one I “painted” lightly in the GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program).
This one I painted more heavily, which may not be apparent until you enlarge it.

Beautiful! And is that a corgi in the picture? 🙂
Great photos. Still not ready to leave the warmth of FL 🙂
Not a corgi. Just Ava seen from slightly above and appearing a little foreshortened. Sorry.
And Don — totally a wise choice. My thoughts turn to Florida (and Panama and the Caribbean) this time of year. Stay put. Enjoy. But other than being cold most of the year, man I love this place.
OK Claire
Where in the @#$ did you come up with “embiggenate”
had to go to my thesaurus to figure out what the heck you were talking about.
For very simple image editing check out https://www.getpaint.net/index.html, less overhead than GIMP
Don, I lived for years in the southern climes then moved north – while at times the cold and dank can get to you (that’s why it’s cheaper to fly from Seattle/Portland/Vancouver to Hawaii that it is from Los Angles).
The biggest thing I love being here is the ever changing environment and seasons – keeps me focused that time is passing – rather than being lulled to sleep as I was in the southern climes
Okay. Well, “embiggen” has been floating around the ‘Net for a while. I forget who invented it. I just thought I’d make it fancier. 🙂
I hope somebody else here can benefit from Paint.net. It’s Windows-only, so not for me. But it would be nice to have a less complicated, less opaque program than the GIMP for photo editing.

She found it in her portmanteau.
(See “portmanteau word.”)
Good one, Larry. Wish I’d have thought of that.
“Embiggen” was coined on the Simpson’s. “A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.” https://youtu.be/FcxsgZxqnEg?t=57s
Ah, thank you, Kent!
One of my Grandmothers was a pretty good artist (oils). But one of her favorite things to do was to hand tint enlarged B&W photos. She used a light touch but the difference was amazing. I don’t know how she captured the skin tones so perfectly.
My younger sister snagged all of them. The oldest is a group photo (my great-grandparents and their children) from the 1890s.
