Enjoy It While You Can ~ (Not So) Speechless Sunday



Spring Creek Collage copyright Mona Gersky

Well, like a lot of ActiveRainers I was up too late last night searching for a replacement to Picnik. So far, none compare to the ease of use nor features. It wouldn’t surprise me though if an enterprising group of techies decide to fill the void that will be left when the ants finish demolishing the Picnik site. In the meantime, I'll make good use of the site while I still can.

The major things that are missing from the other sites (if any of the masters of the sites are reading this) are the photo license stickers and the incredible array of frames. Lots of the other sites also seem to need to be downloaded to the computer. If I’m going to download to the computer, I’d just as soon purchase software from a known and reputable company.

On a happier note…the very cool Victorian house in Hot Springs, NC with the awesome Spring Creek running along its shores…finally closed last week. The buyer seems delighted and has already exposed the brick chimney in the kitchen and discovered the original wood floors beneath the really ugly terracotta tile. I can’t wait until he and his wife get located here so I can see them more often and watch the progress on rebirthing this home.

While I still can, I created a small collage of a few of the Spring Creek photos I took last month. I’ll enjoy all the features of Picnik for as long as I can and continue to search for its replacement.
