Another photograph I took last week at the Linnaeus Demonstration Garden at Tulsa’s Woodward Park. I amped it up a little bit with Topaz Labs Glow filter. The flowers are pretty but what I really like in this image are the veins in the leaves to the left.

I’m sorry I haven’t been around much. It has been my birthday. My birthday is not an event, it is a whole season nowdays. At least to me. I’m getting trouble getting buy in.
Except from my buddy Fiona. She is into my extended multiday birthday plan. But then, she is still celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day.
So I was totally spoiled on Sunday. I kept wondering what are guys going to get me tomorrow?? I’m very spoiled in case you can’t see.
I got a new camera: a Nikon D5300. I’m still learning how to use it. Fortunately it has the auto setting. Us picture takers need the auto button.
Today was my real birthday. It was kind of drizzly but still Heather and I went up to Woodward Park and I took a few pics of the tulips. The auto button is not bad for that.
I also tried the macro setting. I got a little bokeh action going on.
This evening we went for a family stroll on the River Parks and I took along my new camera.
Here is Heather, Logan and Rascal at what we call the bear park on the trails. The flash pops up and fills in nicely. Except Rascal the dog looks kind of blobbish. Not bad for the auto setting though. I’m a blessed man is what I say.
And there is lots and lots of megapixels so I can do long distance shots like this.
Anyways I had a great birthday. Now, 59 more to go!! Hey birthdays are too nice to confine to just one day!!
When is your next birthday coming up? Is one day enough?
Appeal to the Great Spirit is a sculpture in Tulsa’s popular Woodward Park. I redid my digital photo using Topaz Labs Impression program using one of the “Colored Pencil” effects.

One of the many squirrels hanging out at Tulsa’s Woodward Park. He is a little more inquisitive than most of them who when they see you don’t have food lose interest in you. I liked this guys big eyes. I hope that he has got his food cached for the winter because this winter is supposed to be cold.
I used Topaz Labs Impressions to give this photo a painted look.
A freezing Friday morning in Tulsa’s beautiful Woodward Park. I am continuing to experiment with the Topaz Impressions filters. This particular filter is called “Oil Painting III.”
