Pixelated Freedom

 

“Pixelated Freedom”



In the land of Helvetica and Pantone hues, Where kerning mattered more than morning news, Lived a graphic designer, once employed, Her creativity pixel-perfect, skills well deployed.

 

But alas! The corporate winds shifted their tone, Her inbox echoed silence, her desk stood alone. The dreaded pink slip arrived, oh so sly, “Dear designer,” it read, “your pixels must fly.”

 


She packed her Adobe suite, her Wacom pen, Bid farewell to CMYK, embraced RGB again. No more client briefs, no more endless revisions, Just her faithful dog, pixels, and newfound visions.

 


In the boardroom, they whispered, "Budget cuts, you see, Your gradients are costly, your drop shadows too free." She smiled, handed her key, and walked out the door, Her vector heart lighter, her spirit ready to soar.

 


 Cola, her sidekick, a four-legged muse, With floppy ears and eyes that could defuse. They strolled through forest, where Cola met leaves, And Photoshop filters danced on autumn eves.

 


Pixelated freedom, sans serif delight, She laughed at Comic Sans, under moon’s soft light. No more print meetings, no more corporate strife, Just her dog’s wagging tail and a pixel-perfect life.

 


She painted sunsets with gradients of bliss, Photoshopped rainbows, each hue a sweet kiss. Her dog posed for portraits, tongue out, carefree, As layers of laughter merged seamlessly.

 


On the back deck by the pool, she sipped her ice coffee, Photoshopped her dreams, and 

erased the gray. Cola nudged her elbow, eyes full of glee, As if saying, “Mom, this is our masterpiece, you see.”


Pixelated freedom, sans serif delight, She laughed at Comic Sans, under moon’s soft light. No more no more useless print meetings, no more corporate strife, Just her dog’s wagging tail and a pixel-perfect life.

 


Remember, sometimes losing a job opens doors to unexpected adventures—like designing life’s canvas with a furry friend!



And so, dear reader, let this tale unfold, Of a laid-off designer, her story bold. She found beauty in pixels, joy in each node, Her dog by her side, their creative abode.

Solar eclipse of April 8, 2024

 

  

Solar Eclipse over Hanwell NB.

The solar eclipse of April 8, 2024, was a total solar eclipse visible within a band covering parts of North America, from Mexico to Canada and crossing the contiguous United States.

We couldn't have asked for a nicer day, to watch this once in a life time event.  Sunny with temps of 16 not a cloud in the sky except for the one at total coverage.  Just our luck!!  However even that one cloud added flare to the pictures.
