Hard times, baby … and that ain’t the Blue Bird of Happiness. This is my statement about the state of the state … I’m tired of this stupid economy. I want the Federal Government to enact sensible laws regarding banking … I want the stupid banks to lend the money that WE BAILED THEM OUT WITH to competent and qualified real estate buyers (and automobile buyers and all the rest!) AND to small businesses. NOW. Let’s get this show on the road!!!! Enough is enough!!!
A compilation of 4 of my own images (background taken with the Nikon D40x somewhere between Altoona and Bedford Pa; chair taken with the Nikon D40x at Juniata Mercantile west of Breezewood in Pa; house taken with the Nikon D40x in Pavia, Pa, and the vulture taken with the Nikon D300 at Conowingo, Md.), plus textures and moon, all combined in Photoshop CS4. My thanks to Lenabem At Deviant Art and Shadowhouse Creations for the textures and to Obsidian Dawn for the moon brush.

I love this,..and I hear and feel your pain about the economy,…
Are you sure that`s not a blue bird ?,…..Cheer`s
John thanks so much!!!! Yeah, this is getting ridiculous. NO .. that’s a buzzard, lol!!!!! Look at it on full size … one of the things I did to the image in PS gave him some pretty blue shades, so I thought it would be fun to keep it that way!!! Here it is at FAA … you can get such a good close up of him and that crazy house, too, there. Thanks again for stopping by!!!

Just pulling your leg,…hoping to bring a little cheer,..
The funnest T-shirt,…It was two buzzards setting out on a limb,..one looks at the other and says the heck with it,…I`m going to kill something…..And I believe that`s where we are now,..Everyone`s tried of wait for the government to do something,..
HAHAHH!!! John I LOVE that T-shirt idea!!!!!! Big fun!!!!!
