This past week I was coming home and made a shortcut thru Gateway Center and saw these 2 Sandhill Crains on the side of the road and of course had to stop and take pictures. I was really surprised to see them in the urban environment.

Buddy and I went to Crabby Bills on Indian Rocks Beach for supper and then walked out on the beach and there was this sand carving and the sand castle .

I took this picture at Indian Rocks Beach on March 8, 2007. I then came home and played with the pictue to see what would happen with various special effects. What do you think. The first is called Texture, the second is a Stained Glass effect, and the third is called Embossed. The last picture is a repeat of the first.
