Louise and Russ there are many tutorials on creating brushes.
Here is one http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/pselem ... mbrush.htm

This month has produced some great photos! I'm temporarily off-line on 'my' computer (borrowing son's pc) so don't have much chance to comment.

Judy, Thank you for the brush information. Think I might just be able to follow that one and understand what I am doing.
There's nothing like waiting until the last minute to finish something. My last entry for the 8 pictures is the low angle photo.
DH and I went for a drive today down through the Snake River Canyon. The walls of the canyon in this area were lined with small groups of water falls. The theory amongst scientists is that there is a river in eastern Idaho (Lost River) that sinks into the ground and emerges at this point in the canyon. Because of the heavy snowfall and unusually high amounts of rain, the falls are running very high this year.
Now for the angle, Notice at the bottom of the falls where the water hits and then bounces back up at an angle. Really had to stretch to get that one. LOL!

Nice waterfall, Louise,
I was glad to learn something from your explanation of what I was looking at.

Alas, I only accomplished 5 of 8 this month.

Slacker!

I didn't get loner. I guess I still have one more day...

Louise, I never knew waterfalls bounced.

Courtney

Courtney, The falls probably don't bounce, but I didn't know any other way to describe the water flowing up after it touched bottom.

Louise,

I'm just kidding. I knew exactly what you meant and from your photo, bounce is a good description. I've been wondering how one of the larger falls in my area (well, a 45 minute drive) is looking now. We've had a lot of rain recently and there was a lot of snow in the mountains this spring.

Courtney

OK, Courtney, I got one more on the last day of the month so I'm not a total slacker.

Most lawns are "unnatural creations". However, I've got some really lush stuff growing under my hanging finch feeder. I suppose I could read the label for "Goldfinch Mix" to see what kind of spilled seeds are creating this natural carpet.

There ya go, Rusty. You still have 12 hours left.

Courtney

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Only 8 hours now but, here are the last two of my May Eight!

Would you believe we have now had two straight days of 80° weather? That's high 80s.

Today I installed screens in our downstairs windows (we are awhile away from turning on the AC).

And... in anticipation of such weather, I bought a new pair of shoes last week
