I've been having fun playing around with PicMonkey's easy to use format for editing pictures. Last week I used a couple of textures on my lavender pictures and over the weekend my grandson and I edited a few of his favorite photos with their overlays and borders feature..
Look at that concentration...
My husband has the series on DVD and he and my grandson love to watch Lucas McCain fight off evil villains.
I never realized the lessons he taught his son Mark each week. He really was a great father with a good solid moral compass. Where are those dad's on TV now?
I don't know if there is a future in it...but the little guy sure has a talent for playing dead. When he's been shot there ain't nothing distracting him. If you lift his arm or leg it just falls back to the floor like a wet noodle. The only thing that will get him to move is if you try and take his rifle or mess with his hat!
This is one tough hombre. Even in his hand me down cowboy boots that are two sizes too big.
I wouldn't want to mess with this face. Would you? He takes his job very seriously.
This was a lot of fun. If you haven't tried PicMonkey yet, you should. I have found it easy to use and I am not a whiz on the computer and it's free. It resizes photos quickly and the basics are user friendly. There is even a collage feature now, too. The only complaint (and it may be just my ignorance) is the add text feature is limited.
Now go have some fun editing your pictures!

This is just my humble, unauthorized opinion of a product that I am in no way compensated to talk about...
I have a feeling that PicMonkey will be charging for some of it's features soon. So far, I really like it. Your grandson is cute! Looks like you had a wonderful visit with him.
ReplyDeleteI bet you sleep well at night knowing you live with the Rifleman! What a cutie he is. Love the he plays like kids (us) used to play when we were little. Not in front of the computer or TV with some "organized" game or something. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteOh Patty, I know you use PicMonkey but it can't improve on little guys expression. He is so adorable and yes, he takes his job very serious! Way too cute!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow...how darling! We need to get your cowboy together with my cowboy!!
ReplyDeleteYou two must have had so much fun taking these photos. He's a real cutie.
ReplyDeleteYour grandson is adorable..what expressions...I love Picmonkey..I hope they don't start charging...
ReplyDeleteHe is too cute! The black and white picture looks just like one that my husband has of himself when he was around 5 (circa 1960 or so).
ReplyDeleteI about come to tears when I compare the shows of when I was growing up and a teen (like the Rifleman, Star Trek, The Waltons, and more) to the "reality" tv drivel and worse on today! At least back then the only worry would be if a show was of bad quality (writing, acting, etc), of which I'm sure there were some, not whether a show would be BAD (language, senseless violence and gruesomeness, inappropriate sexuality, etc).
What an adorable cowboy you've got... (don't tell him
ReplyDeleteI said that!) I am sure he would rather be frightening!
I teach preschool and we have Cowboy Week where they
put on bandanas and cowboy hats we take their ''mean' faces and make wanted posters complete with outlaw names such as "paci snatching Payton" so fun !
What a cutie-pie! Ahem... I mean ... what a fine, and trustworthy young ranger!
ReplyDeleteI've used Picmonkey before.. it's a lot of fun to use, and very easy :)

He is the cutest thing ever! He looks like a serious gunman and I was a little scared ... but then when I saw him down, I felt sorta sorry for him. Haha, what a cute post, love it! Hugs ~ Mary

I need to get into PicM and play a little bit. Your little guy is so cute-Isn't it funny how all little boys just love guns and pretending to shoot? I think it is inborn! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteMy Grandson age 3 likes to play dead too. Just look at him and say "bang" And he drops like a fly. Such fun.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED the Rifleman!
ReplyDeleteHe is precious!I am off to visit PicMonkey.

ReplyDeleteWhat a little cutie-pie, and I just love that "serious" face!
ReplyDeleteI love Picmonkey too! Love how you used it with your grandson's photos...he is the perfect Rifleman. His expressions are perfect!
