I copied the picture (using alt-print-screen), then trimmed it to a square-ish shape. Then I put the text in. (The "in dark places" part has black text beneath the white text, to make it stand out.) Then I re-sized it to 100x100 pixels.
I'm not good with the tricksy filters and layers and such. My icon-making is fairly basic. But it was such a beautiful image, and Peg has often remarked on liking the line "a light in dark places," so I put it together.
It is a beautiful image, and don't say you're not clever with these things! I tried a straight copy to disk, and since they'd blocked it, I went on--much too busy to figure it out right now.
I respect their right to blockage--and I would have paid them for the image, if it had come up as: Icon use, $1.00, click here or something. But I'm not going to contact the newspaper for an icon.

Not going to add to the stress this month! ;^)
