On the grounds of The Alamo Photo and enhancement by Chris Duffy
You know, it dawned on me the other night as I was going through all the photos on my hard drive searching for a good picture to accompany my blog that I’ve really been quite fortunate. I mean, I been allowed to travel to an awful lot of nice places and I’d say at least half of them have been business related trips . . . either in conjunction with my husband’s business or my job. And then we’ve gone to some nice places on our own vacations too. I have a lot to be grateful for and I need to remind myself of that ever so often.
This is a picture I took when we went down to San Antonio for our son’s wedding last year. The tree in the center of this courtyard was HUGE! It provided the shade for the entire courtyard.

Pictures make great reminders and those you post are always wonderful. I was wondering what program you use to do your enhancements.

I use Paint Shop Pro and have for years, I have 6, 7, and 8 in my computers but I haven’t had success making my pictures look like yours above. If you don’t mind giveing me a little guidance, settings, and have time to write it, i’d love to know how you are going about it. I don’t have photo shop or don’t think I do. Thanks for getting back to me on the first question.

Ah, I remember that tree. Some of the branches were so low and heavy I thought it was amazing they didn’t just fall off. We love San Antonio, the RiverWalk and especially Boudros!

Oh, I remember those barracks at the Alamo. I tried to find the picture of the tree you mentioned when I recreated my San Antonio website, but it is lost forever evidently. I guess I’ll just have to go back :love:
Sounds like a plan, Alice.
I remember the last time we visited the Alamo last summer coming back from our Mexico mission trip. By the time we got there it was closed, but I remember looking thorugh the gate amazed at the size of that tree.
