Texture Tuesday

Our grocer has a nice section of flowers. Kipp has to wait patiently as I make sure they are all in the buckets of water (people take them out and never put them back in the water). My husband tells me they should pay me for keeping their flowers alive:)

I am grateful for your following, visits, and comments. And the next time you see flowers out of their water bucket, put them back in :)

Many thanks for every kind comment, fave, your words of encouragement, and the inspiration of your fine photography,

my Flickr friends! You make my day every day!

For Kim Klassen's TT.

Used 2 of Kim's textures on this, Now (at 56% multiply) and -43 (at 86% multiply).

Another daily challenge I have struggled with, then I remembered that it was Texture Tuesday and I almost abandoned the challenge completely, so here's my thinking....this is a Hydrangea flower bud, the plant is enormous and dwarfs my little flowers so I have to really cut it back every year and now the little flower buds are slowly beginning to change and you can see the pink flowers coming through. The Texture Tuesday challenge was to include Words and so I have used 2 of Kim Klassen's textures one with words and I also found a quote that fit really well for both challenges.

I have made so many changes in the past year including taking up photography, which is probably part of my therapy too so this image is for me !!

"The Number Four" - Texture Tuesday - 7 Days of Shooting

This photo is from yesteryear, and it also has one layer of Kim Klassen's texture called 'Yesteryear' especially for her Texture Tuesday challenge today. Some of you will recognize who the little white sleeping beauty is with her big wide eyes open! Yes, that is Miss Penny. This photo was taken during our winter holiday in 2009. We went together to see the snow for the first time in our lives as pups at Lake Almanor. It was one of the best vacations we two girls could ask for! We got lots and lots of snow to play in, and we had a warm fireplace to snuggle up cozy together and stay warm. Penny is still in our thoughts, and so very missed. She's doing well, getting along happily with the cat and coming upon her second birthday year too.

I used a Lensbaby @ f2.8 and tried to focus on the little pink flowers. Then added Jill Ferry's Waxworks texture on overlay.

Thank you for your favs and comments. Please know I am decreasing my time on social media so unless you ask a question, I will no longer comment on your comment.

Last, for those of us that love Jutta's images, have you seen her lately? Hoping she is okay:)

Built in 1907, the furnaces produced iron for the Homestead Works from 1907 to 1978. During the 1920s, 1930s,and 1940s, Carrie 6 and 7 consumed approximately four tons of raw materials comprised of iron ore, coke, and limestone for every ton of iron produced. The cooling system for the blast furnace required over five million gallons of water a day. These furnaces reached their peak production in the 1950s and 1960s when they were producing 1000 -1250 tons of iron a day. Carrie Furnaces 6 and 7 were designated as National Historic Landmarks in 2006.
