learning new things

i am so absolutely out of the loop! i'm not blogging or reading my favorites, not painting, i'm hardly even on facebook! i have yet to get to the beach or go camping yet this summer! what on earth am i doing?!

i am learning adobe cs5.
taking a real college class, even.
besides learning the software, i'm beginning to understand all the different kinds of file formats, image size, and i now know what a vector image is. wow, this is awesome! and fun!

since flowers flourish here in california this time of year, i thought i'd add a few flourishes to some of those that are blooming right now...
