I am sitting here at work drooling...you could not have picked a better theme to get me interested.  The colors and the detail is amazing.  The second pic is absolutely terrific.  I see I need to play somemore!

I love prehistoric things.  I studied all through school to become an Archaeologist. Messed up when I thought I had fallen in "Luv", Got married and threw the dreams out the window.  I guess it all works out because I am happy here too.  It's been a ride!

Well, I went and reworked it yet again!!  I just found that mountian too big and too cold for the period that I was trying to depict. so here is the final answer!!

 

I forgt to say Thank you for all you kind words! (I am such a dork!) I finally figured out alpha planes and I got Nay's Elvis on one so I am trying to do a deep jungle pic with him as the star.. we'll see how this turns out !  Ollie

Oh my goodness.  This just gets better and better.  They are all really nice, but that last one is fabulous. You are so talented at this stuff, Ollie.  I would never be able to sit for 4 hours messin' with anything.  My poor ole eyes stay blurry from just the reading I do on the pc.

Would you let me use the last one as a desktop background so my grandkids can see it when they show up?  If you'd rather I don't, please say so, won't hurt my feelings at all.

Annie

Are you kidding Annie??  Of course you can use any image of mine that you would like!!! I feel like I just got published  ! Thank you for wanting to use this pic!! I am going to put alot of these things on a screensaver program that I bought and offer them for free download here.

LOL!! Talk about the eyes getting blurry... I had to go out and buy one of those chains that go on your glasses because I am too stubborn to get bifocals, so they just keep goin on and commin off.  Ollie

Thank you, Ollie.  I did it but when I stretch it to cover the whole desktop it blurs it out just a tiny bit.  Do you know of a way that I can correct that?  Right now I have it centered which leaves a one inch green margin around it and I put my icons in the margin to leave the pic clean. Nice and sharp that way but looks odd to have the margin.

Can I take it to a program like Irfanview and enlarge it and still keep the sharpness of the pic?

Now, don't you go and change anything about this work!!  Just please let me know if you think my idea will work just for my own pc.

Annie

I forgot.  Did you know that you can buy stick-on bifocals to stick to your current glasses?  I have seen them in large pharmacies that sell non-prescription glasses.

I can't do it for mine because my eyes' lenses were surgically corrected using different strengths of implants.  Made me so mad that the opthalmologist did that. He said so that he wouldn't cause nearsightedness in one eye and farsightedness in the other.

Annie, I resized it ( a copy) and sharpened it, it is now 800x600 let me know if it is too big, you can pick it up HERE it is in zip file becuase of the size.  Ollie

WooHoo,  That worked.  It looks gorgeous.  I like to never found my unzipper.  Hadn't brought it to the new drive yet. I don't have Winzip any more but got Cam Unzip. Works just as well and free.

Annie

You are very welcome Annie!!

Well, wouldnt you just know it!! I got the chain for my glasses because I didnt like them tangling up my hair when I shoved them up on my head... dont have to worry about THAT anymore... darn things just broke!! Probably from shoving them up on my head and stretching out the bows, been looking for the super glue but hubby has it hidden somewhere... or I just cant see it. Ollie

Well, that's the pits!!

An emergency trip to the eye doctor is in order, huh?

Annie

Nahh, I can fix this. Ollie

I hope it is ok for me to snag it too.  It is really terrific. 

Sherry:)

My friend was here and I showed her "my" new background.  She couldn't believe that you really made this, Ollie.  She was soooo impressed.  Me, too!!
