I don’t normally look at things other than what the vendors are selling while I am shopping at the market. But yesterday, the sunflower umbrella really caught my eye. I had never seen an umbrella quite like that! Makes me want to get one for myself if I see any for sale!

As for the parrot, I saw it perched on a man’s shoulder coming towards my direction. When they passed, I looked back, and just couldn’t let the opportunity for taking pictures pass  me by! So I ran after the man and asked if I could take pictures of him and the bird. He obliged and I took a few pictures. What a brightly-colored bird!

I thought I’d use some spot coloring on these two pictures so their startling colors could be emphasized. Charlene has done a fantastic job with spot coloring and I thought I’d give it a try since I already have Photoshop installed in one of my computers. I read a tutorial on how to do spot coloring, found it wasn’t difficult at all, and voilĂ !

    As for the templates, there are many to choose from .. just testing to see what looks good. I prefer the minimal look when it comes to templates.
