texture tuesday

the crackerjack edition : )

PeeGee Hydrageas in a Victorian Pitcher using Kim Klassen's "kk_dollard-softandgentle" texture.

A friend brought me this Jizo from Japan years ago, and it has been on my desk ever since.

I have read that "Jizo is the embodiment of the Bodhisattva Vow, the aspiration to save all beings from suffering. He is the protector of women, children, and travelers in the six realms of existence. In India he is known as Ksitigarbha, in China as Dizang, in Korea as Jijang Bosal, and in Japan as Jizo Bosatsu." "The aspiration to save all beings from suffering" is as good as it gets for holiday wishes.

7DoS "All I Want For Xmas" "Texture Tuesday"

Catching up on yesterday's photographs, today!!

This is Charlie and he was my son's "best pal" many years ago!

7 Days of Shooting Week #49 Toys Texture Tuesday ....

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.

for 7DoS: this one is a bit of a cheat, as these trolleys aren't outside a grocery store. This well known Swedish chain does also sell food, so hopefully it's not too much of a cheat ;)

A bit of geometry and as close as I wanted to get to a dirty trolley wheel, to make up for missing the beginning of the week :)

Texture shot of a crack in my windshield...

For: 7 Days of Shooting. Week #3. Delicate and/or Elegant - Texture Tuesday.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to look at my photo and make a comment or Fave. Your thoughts are much appreciated.

for 7DoS: I can't remember when I first saw the bare-ankle-with-a-suit look for men, but it's spread widely since and I'm still not a fan. I guess I'm just too old to appreciate it. I find myself rolling my eyes a fair bit these days ... don't even get me started on the man-bun ;)

PS it's always a good idea to check you've taken all the sticky labels off your shoes before you wear them :)

Enjoy your weekend.

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday...oh so SOFT edition ~

Used 2 layers of 'Faith' from French Kiss (Glorious Grunge Collection); overlay @25% and normal @60%.

Also used Kim's texture 'embrace', pin light @77% but I erased 3/4 of it and only left the notebook holes, bumping up the contrast to make them more obvious.

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday!

I was visiting my sister last week...she's an avid quilter and has some modern sewing equipment so I was very happy when I went upstairs and saw this "old beauty" on display. Fortunately, I had my camera in hand :)

I used two of Kim's textures for this image: Empty Page on Multiply at 78% and Loretta on Soft Light at 100%

This isn't Sue's BBQ!! Yes, okay it needs a clean but if it was oh so clean there would be no textures!!

7 Days of Shooting Week #5 Outdoor Eating Texture Tuesday ....

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.

for 7DoS: new spring growth hanging from the trees :)

Kim Klassen's 'Felicity' texture...

used twice; once at normal/50% opacity, once at luminosity/43% opacity.

Also added: high pass filter, soft light/50% - levels adj. layer to pop the whites - hue/sat. adj. layer to desaturate overall.

Was after a bit of vintage feel, but not sure if I like the dark corners...what do you think???

A little story about the spools is on my blog: sweetpeapath.blogspot.com/2012/02/natural-succession.html

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday "Dreamy" edition. I guess my title doesn't sound very dreamy. Hopefully, I gave the winter beach a dreamy look! Two textures used were Mary from the Downton collection and Phoebe. Added the Orton effect for the dreamy look....

Little Kisses- Time for some chocolates this holiday season :)

Taken and edited for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday where the theme is words of wisdom.

Grace surrounds me

like a nest

I am protected, secure.

sweet robin's nest now graces my outdoor meditation spot ♥

Kim Klassen Texture: chamomile

"7 Days of Shooting" "Week #5" "Seat(s)" "Texture Tuesday"...an improvised seat ;)

This pony in the horse boarding pen was tossing her head up and down. The ponies all seemed to get quite agitated before competing. It seemed a wild and rather dangerous 'sport'.

Studio 26 assignment - a part of it

A shot from earlier this year for 7DoS Texture Tuesday - animals / birds theme.

7DoS "Vehicles" "Texture Tuesday"

Simple shot of a lampshade that is pretty well textured - textured energy!!

7 Days of Shooting Week #11 Energy Texture Tuesday ....

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday: www.kimklassencafe.com/thecafe.

(I used a couple of layers of her latest free texture 'look-up'.)

for 7DoS: I confess I was not feeling sad/fed up when I saw this on the dessert menu ... and I definitely wasn't after I'd eaten it ... but if I hit a grey day and need to cheer myself up I can look at this photo and smile at the memory. A bonus is, it will be calorie free that way ;)

Raining when we arrived. Fortunately it didn't rain on our Sunset cruise on "Set Sail at the yachtie"

7DOS Out my Window, texture

Texture tuesday

i can't really express

how much i love stones and rocks

especially with this silly pattypan from last year's garden!

these stones so still are my subject

for today's texture tuesday ...

before | afters and recipes at 2bbb ~

thanks thanks mrs. klassen ~ gosh, your textures are addicting! xo

My second son, the viola player, auditioned for and got into the Middle School All County Orchestra.

Playing together with other instruments is a lot harder than playing a solo and keeping in time is an essential part of that. Metronomes are very useful tools in helping a student keep time in music. :)

for 7DoS: some of the petals and leaves, that dropped off into the vase of water, from the dead flowers.

found some Meer Cat at an out of the way Zoo in Tasmania, love how they are always watching

7 Days of Shooting – Week #4 (w/b 31 July) Animals or Birds (Wild or Domestic)

"7 Days of Shooting" "Week #1" "Messy Moments" "Texture Tuesday"

The Pythagoreans acknowledged number 6 to be the first perfect number.

In mathematics a perfect number is when all the numbers divisors (excluding the number itself) are added, the sum equals the number itself. 1+2+3=6

In addition when including the number itself and dividing by two the result is the number itself. (1+2+3+6)/2 = 6

Perfect numbers are rare. The Ancient Greeks recognized four perfect numbers: 6 – 28 – 496 – 8,128. Throughout history perfect numbers have fascinated mathematicians and more perfect numbers have been discovered.

The number 6 is a symbol of completeness.

Number 6 symbolizes beauty and high ideals.

It goes without saying; I live at number six.

I love my golf and accompanied by my golf buddy we are due to tee off just after midday! It's cold and very windy but - for the moment - it is not raining, my fingers are crossed!! Perfect weather for a links course, ugh!!

7 Days of Shooting Week #26 Where I Spend My Day Texture Tuesday ....

for 7DoS: I think I have a few shots suitable for this week's theme, from my trip, but while I try and get organised, here's one I took before I left.

Well, I did manage to get a round of golf this morning when the weather wasn't at all bad! This afternoon, it poured and poured and is still pouring down!!

Remember to repair those pitch marks on the greens!!
