Sweetie, Some Flowers, and a Blue Snow Shovel:

my first picture

I had a lot of different pictures I planned, including several still-lifes of my mother's glassware and several of a tree, but this one of my cat just struck me as looking really neat. My cat (named Sweetie) is black and white, and the snow shovel in the background is blue. It just worked out and I felt it expressed the theme to me. I also like the vivid colors created by the saturation I added. And so you have your first glance beyond the veil of violet mist....
