I’m a newbie to Lightroom. I like how easy it is to use…not at all like Photoshop, but I really love playing with it! Which do you like better? Right or Left?

This was fun! 📸 I really had fun shooting these tonight! I’m learning Lightroom and my new camera so these photos were a pleasant surprise!

Bought a Blu Ray player and dug out our old DVDs...ordered some new ones of our favorite shows because we are sick of streaming services. Anyone else going backwards tech-wise? I'd like to think we're 'neo-old school-techies' now. 😜

I can’t wait to try again tomorrow! These guys were extra spicy today and it was all out squirrel gang wars, so most of my shots were a blur. 🐿️🎄🎅

Found this among my parents’ things. I have since had it encased in an UV protective glass frame and mounted in my office. This is one of my coolest possessions.
