Sunshine

The photo featured on this page was originally blogged here.

This one is not quite as complex (read: "busy") as some of my earlier pages, because (1) I am trying a new program to create my pages (GIMP 2.6, or GNU Image Manipulation Program, which is basically the open-source equivalent of Photoshop), and (2) I didn't want to "clutter" this picture, because it's one of my favorites. Still haven't learned how to fix "blemishes" in my photos yet, but considering that it took me about two hours and five tantrums to get this far, consider yourself lucky: at least I have learned how to make drop shadows. (You will notice, however, that I managed to make the fonts close in color -- I would not have published this otherwise.)
