Fall’s A-Comin’
We went out for a little walk today, and fall was definitely in the air. People were still mowing yards, washing cars, and doing summer stuff, but the air had that “better than summer” feel and smell. Not to knock summer smells, especially the smells of flowers, freshly cut grass, sizzling steaks on outdoor grills. I don’t mind knocking the “feel” of Kansas summer, though. But, that’s not really the reason for this article.
Becky got new glasses a couple weeks ago. Kim wondered how they looked and asked for a photo. So, it seemed like a good time to take a picture for her. I figured, long as I was photographing Becky, we’d have her get one of me. It’s rare I don’t look goofy in a photo, but she caught a rare moment. Hers came out good, too. So, I put ’em together.
| Can be seen at my Flickr collection, (really the best view) or you can click the little pic here to see bigger pic. One of us is actually flipped 180 degrees (mirror image). Can you tell which? |  |

You know, I want to say that it’s your picture that’s reflected. I was checking out the spots on the trees. Yeah, I think it’s yours. Nice frames!

It took a heck of a long time fiddling around with whatever graphics program (I think it was StudioLine) just trying to figure out how to combine two images to make one. Why it didn’t work to just enlarge the area and copy both pictures into it, I have no idea. :banghead: Seems like a very easy and logical approach, but it sure didn’t work that way. :bonk: So I kept trying different things, and they’d keep not doing it, or if it seemed like I was about to get it the menu item would be grayed out, on and on. :spin: Ultimately, I’m not sure how I did it. :shrug: I think I ended up enlarging something like the size of the frame or the background, and using layers. All I know is, all of a sudden when I dragged the image the other image was underneath it and from that point all I had to do was position them and save the darn thing. :blab: And, yep, I’m the one that’s flipped. :upsidedown:

You two sure look good. Mom’s actually as tall as you are. Woohoo! The tree looks like something out of a Tim Burton film, it’s pretty cool.
