Used Kim Klassen's lightpaper3 and paperstainedlight textures.

That's what my wife and I were doing "all day" today - and we had the most beautiful sunny day, just like being back in Florida!!

Of course, these are not my own gardening gloves!!

There are miles and miles of old shelterbelts of caragana out here on the prairies. Not your typical garden ornamental but quite nice if you get up close and personal...

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.

I used a couple of layers of Kim's Golden texture.

can you imagine having your house

set in an apple tree?

testing textures this tuesday ...

with the brilliant batch of 'bakers dozen plus three' from mrs. klassen's kitchen ...

before | after and recipe here.

This was my 15 yr old's breakfast yesterday. He thinks he's grown up enough for coffee and he's always been a terrible milk drinker. We compromised with a full milk coffee (Nescafe instant) with sugar of course.

Today, he had homemade hash browns and scrambled egg (and chocolate pancakes on Sunday). Oh to be young again! :)

...waiting outside the house to be picked up...how much fresher can you get?

I must apologise to anyone from TT whose pictures are on their blogs - I can't comment, doesn't matter what I try I just get sent repeatedly to the sign in page, I sign in, go back, click comment and back I go to the sign in page again. It's really frustrating as I'd love to be commenting on a lot of the TT images.

Grand Central Terminal is a place I could spend the whole day in. The architecture, old beauty and buzz in the air are a photographer's dream.

Texture Tuesday using Kim Klassen's "Framed" texture.

Textures used were Plaster, Nature's Beauty and Autumn Burst all by Kim Klassen. Each had various blends and adjustments.

These were very popular in the 1960's. This one was made by my MIL back then and concealed the spare toilet roll for many years. We rescued it from the house when we finalised the estate.

7 Days of Shooting/Week #14/Childhood Memory/Texture Tuesday

As a child, I was often to be found with, as my mother have would put it, my nose in a book. I would become so engrossed that I failed to hear that I was being told to set the table or dry the dishes or get ready for bed.

Little Women was a great favourite. I really identified with Jo and indeed played her in an am dram stage adaptation when I was about fifteen.

This copy, a bit battered and worn now, was given to me by my Dad and I can still remember sitting at the kitchen table reading and enjoying it for the first time.
