The town itself isn't much to get excited but we did manage to find some great Mexican food at Maria's... although I was a bit disappointed that they didn't serve Margaritas the food more than made up for it. http://www.ireadthisblog.com/2008/06/beautiful-blythe.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Trevor Gill)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634884576365615191.post-7704285024920543397Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:49:00 +00002008-06-02T16:55:03.565-07:00I've been having some technical difficulties over the past couple weeks with Blogger.

This image got a little love in Photoshop ... mainly the filmstrip effect but I also desaturated it a bit and adjusted the levels slightly. I was pleased with the end result, the color range gives the photo a different feel but not too over the top. -Tre, who is going http://www.ireadthisblog.com/2008/03/pale-gradient.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Trevor Gill)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634884576365615191.post-3728297601261360124Fri, 21 Mar 2008 06:59:00 +00002008-03-21T00:07:23.453-07:00This picture is from about 3 years ago(so disregard the date in the corner! oops..), taken while we floated the skies just north of Phoenix. -Tre, who wants to go again . . . http://www.ireadthisblog.com/2008/03/old-hot-air.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Trevor Gill)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634884576365615191.post-6301074599185623403Thu, 20 Mar 2008 04:11:00 +00002008-03-21T00:14:47.486-07:00First impressions ipod touch short rundownThe ipod Touch...
