The Lotus Tree

This one of the many Lotus Trees in our yard. I love when the pretty white flowers bloom on them, they are so pretty, though I don't think my allergies agree. I edited this with Kim Klassen's  OhMy watercolor texture applied in the soft light blend mode at 50%. If you sign up on her blog, you can receive free weekly textures and they are fabulous!

Little Things

For this week's Texture Tuesday on Kim Klassen's blog we have to use at least one layer of Kim Klassen's littlethings texture. Here I used it on a photo I took of a neighbor's flowering tree. I'm not even sure what kind of tree it is but the blooms on it are beautiful. I applied littlethings in the multiply blend mode at 25%.  

As you can probably tell, my blog is under a little construction, so please be patient!

Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday with Muffin

This week, Kim's challenge was something to do with the word "soft" and using at least one of her textures.  I thought I would use this photo of our dog Muffin. We adopted Muffin about 8 years ago from the pound. I was pregnant with Jimmy and Sydney, who was five at the time was with me. She hated the loudness of all the barking dogs in the pound! Muffin was the only dog in there who wasn't barking! She hated the loudness of it all too. She was so scared! When they took her out of the cage for us to visit with her, she immediately cuddled up on the floor with Sydney.  Well, that was it, we had to have her! We estimate her age now to be about 11 or 12 years old.  She is still scared of loud noises, but she is a great dog!
