I used Kim Klassen's new texture 'pour vous' and linked up with her Texture Tuesday Lots of good texture work there, give it a visit

7 Days of Shooting, Week #20 : Repetition -- Texture Tuesday

for 7DoS: I wanted to avoid more shots of Xmas decorations but I'm too busy to set anything up and only had my iPhone to use, so I went for a shot of the pond / waterfall that my sister has built in her garden. The plants still have some growing to do ..

Yes, I know it's not yet springtime. Three more weeks to go still. But the beautiful sunshine makes hope spring eternal. We are having a glorious weekend of perfect spring weather. Finally! That beautiful engagement proposal yesterday makes me want to be Abby's bridesmaid!

When I saw Kim Klassen's texture "Embrace" I immediately remembered a photo I took a year ago. The Texture goes well with it...

7 Days of Shooting - Week #21 (w/b 26th November) Low Vantage Point: Get down on the ground or as low as you can possibly go to catch this week’s photos. Or you might be lucky and use a tilted "live view" on your camera ~ we are not looking for you to be standing and shooting upwards! Down low and dirty, this week!!

These colors make me so happy... :) Where two arts combine in one...

The pencil should always have a nice point for nice writing!

This toy Koala was hidden in the branches of a Scribbly Gum, quite high up. With all the rain we've had its fur almost looks like wood.

"How did it get so late so soon?" — Dr. Seuss

Ran out of time today ... snatched a few moments between dance classes and cooking dinner to take this vase of flowers outside to make the most of the rapidly fading light.

It’s Christmas Wishes and Texture Tuesday at 7 Days of Shooting.

The Hereios have a special project today – a game of 8 Questions. So, here goes:

1. If you could go back to any time in your life, what would you photograph? I worked on some IT projects in Singapore, Ireland, and England before I took up photography. I’m pretty sure I missed some marvelous shots.

2. What kind of picture do you find the least interesting? Architecture without the history or story.

3. Which picture took you the most courage to take (or publish)? My very first silly selfie.

4. What do you admire most in other people’s photography? Anything well done that is surprising or different.

5. If you could follow someone around for a day, who would that be? Santa on Christmas Night.

6. Which shot would you never post on Flickr? Anything that would embarrass someone in the photo.

7. What is unphotographable? That which cannot be spoken.

8. If you had to describe yourself in one word, what would it be? Resilient

for 7DoS: more fakes from me - spotted on a walk before I left home. I hope to have something real for tomorrow when I get back to my computer.

I sure hope he finds it...one must be very quiet to feel it arriving.

Found this wonderful sculpture of a bird "flying" at Dumfries House! This was a real tree that now is a bird!

Linking up with Lisa Gordon's Creative Exchange and Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.

This week Texture Tuesday we were to use one layer of Kim Klassen's texture called "Simplicity". I used two layers on this each at a lowed opacity and masked some off the flower especially the center.
