“On almost a daily basis while living in a country-like environment, squirrels abound, performing numerous activities,” says Linn Smith. “One of their cutest behaviors occurs when two of them race up and down trees, seemingly trying to outdo each other with ability and speed. Witnessing their various feats, one watches in awe of the enormous performances they can accomplish.

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Many Glacier Valley” by Harry Lichtman. Location: Glacier National Park, Montana.

“A stormy sunrise over the Many Glacier Valley and Lake Sherburne in Glacier National Park,” describes Lichtman. “Grey clouds turned every shade of orange and red as the first rays of the sun struck the distant peaks. These kinds of mornings can bring rain, overcast or both. It rained shortly thereafter, but the light and sky were memorable.”

Lake Superior is incredibly vast, and with its distinction as the world’s largest freshwater lake by surface area—31,700 square miles—this inland sea lives up to its name. Superior’s coastline borders on three U.S. states and the Canadian province of Ontario, and its characteristics are as varied as its size. The lake’s North Shore, stretching more than 150 miles from the port city of Duluth, Minnesota, to the U.S.-Canada border and beyond, lays claim to some of the most stunning and accessible scenery in the American Midwest.

Minnesota State Highway 61 parallels the North Shore and provides access to seven state parks, all of which boast raging rivers and streams, cascading waterfalls and miles of hiking trails. Most parks also contain an abundance of rugged Lake Superior shoreline, varying from sandy and cobblestone-filled beaches to 180-foot cliffs. Camping is available in all but Grand Portage State Park at the Canadian border. Several small towns punctuate the shore and offer additional opportunities for camping, lodging and recreation.

In this tutorial, we show you how to add life and vibrancy to a landscape photo. Is the grass a little lifeless? Add more green! Is the sky a bit gray? Add more blue!

How to Select and Change Colors

In this tutorial, you will learn how to select and change colors using the Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer.

First, go to “Layers – New Adjustment Layer – Hue/Saturation” to create a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer. Notice if you move the “Hue” Slider, it will change all the colors in the image.

To select certain colors, click on the drop-down menu that defaults to “Master.” Select the color you would like to edit, then be sure to click on the Eye Dropper to fine tune the color selection. After clicking on the far-left Eye Dropper, click on the color in your image you would like to effect.

After clicking on the color in your image, adjust the “Hue” & “Saturation” sliders to add more color to those areas in your photo.

Repeat these steps for other colors in your image you would like to alter.
