Yucca

I had plans for today.  I was going to show you pictures I had drawn.  However, that plan went awry so I hope to have drawings for next week.  I am certain you are very excited!! Today's story is about the yucca plant in my front yard.

It is getting ready to pop with blooms and is very tall.  I think more shoots are developing. Shoots is a perfect word for this plant as they sprout so fast, I can practically see them grow.



The real story for today is that I downloaded Photoshop and Lightroom this evening.  I should be able to use both of them proficiently...... in a few YEARS if I study daily and take some classes. Right now they are a mystery to me.  I tinkered with the picture of the yucca, and you can see the before and after pics.  Believe me, tinkered is exactly what I mean because I had no idea what I was doing.
