I found this quote on Goodreads by Dean Koontz and thought it a good one for these organic pears from Gowan’s Fruit and Veggie Stand in Philo, CA. Although a bit bruised and battered, their flavor was delicately fresh and sweet. “A scar is not always a flaw…”
The viburnum puts on a lovely show of color in the fall. I just love plants that are beautiful in more than one season! I used Kim’s kk_benjamin texture on this photo. I edited it in Tiffen dfx, Snap Art 3, and OnOne Perfect Effects 8.
This crepe myrtle has the loveliest autumn color! We just re-did this side of our yard earlier this year, so the tree isn’t too large yet. Oh, but what delight! A Facebook friend had used this William Cullen Bryant on a photo of her own, and I liked it so much I used the quote on this image.
We are doing a repetitive challenge in Arttechniquesdigital Yahoo Group, and I decided to do a repetition of a photo I took at Windsor Riverfront Regional Park. The path made me think how we each choose a direction in life.
I co-teach a ladies’ Bible study at my church and we are finishing up 2 Thessalonians. The phrase, “Peace Always in Every Way”, in chapter 3:16, struck a chord with me. I am using this phrase in my closing applications so decided to create a postcard to print out and give to each member of the class. Maintaining peace in the midst of our daily lives is a blessing only God can give. It is kind of ironic that the texture I used for this Texture Tuesday piece is kk_calamity! http://www.kimklassencafe.com/thecafe/
These wispy little seed heads were getting blown hither and yon in the light breeze that was blowing as we walked the main trail at Windsor Riverfront Regional Park yesterday. When I read this quote last night in The Daily Bread devotional, I thought it fit well with this photo. As the seeds spread, so do our little kindnesses to each other.
I posted a photo of this flicker to my other blog and on my Flickr page, but edited this photo for Day 32 of Kim Klassen’s Beyond Beyond class. I used her copper 2 preset for Lightroom as a start then added a few of my own tweaks for this image. I used KK_Chase texture but only at 6% opacity and at a Soft Light setting. This flicker returned October 1 to my yard, and his distinctive call always says “fall is here!” to me.
One of my photos from this past Saturday. I was touched by Kim Klassen’s postings, and as I looked through some old journal quotes, this one struck me as apropos for this week’s Texture Tuesday. I like to write down quotes as I read books, and this one is from The Forgotten Garden.
I set up a variety of vignettes to photograph in my studio today while we had a bit of rain- first of the season!
