A touch of white

It snowed for much of the afternoon yesterday; not heavily, but steadily. Last night there was a pleasant white coating on the grass and shrubs. The roads simply became wet.

Chuck came over and we watched the movie Sin City on DVD. That was fun. I hadn’t watched it since I saw it at the theater, even though I’d bought the DVD ages ago. I still say it might be Mickey Rourke’s greatest performance. And the film itself is just visually amazing. It really is just like a comic book.

I didn’t get up and ride this morning. Between sitting up late watching the movie, and having a few beers, and knowing that the roads were wet, it just was too hard to climb out from under the warm blankets. So I’ve been hanging out on the couch and trying to learn some about digital photo editing.

I may have mentioned previously that I got a digital camera for Christmas. I’m trying to take lots of pictures with it, but I also want to learn about editing them for the best effect. Adjusting the levels and balances and cropping and all that sort of thing.

Here’s an example I was playing with:
