We got some yummy Ghirardelli hot chocolate for Christmas with some winter-themed mugs and mini marshmallows. It was a nice treat one cold evening in January.

This week's Texture Tuesday entry for the February Free & Easy eDition with Kim Klassen. I used her wonderfulmagic_scripted texture on Multiply, 35%. Make sure to check out all the other Free & Easy submissions.

Took this photo in Oct 2007 @ Thunderbird Falls in Chugiak Alaska. It was a crisp autumn day and I loved all of the light and shadows falling along the trail. I used this image in a digital layout and added the Scripture verse Psalm 119:103 -- "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."

Processed using Kim Klassen's textures -

Stained Linen (soft light, 100%) Fully (overlay, 72%)

This shot taken and added just for the Kim Klassen Cafe Texture Tuesday challenge. Texture is serendipity by Kim Klassen.

for 7DoS: another archive shot today - hopefully I'll get chance to take some new shots tomorrow. I might even get a glimpse of the sun!

Submitted to Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. Used Kim's Warm Vignette Texture on the final image.

Dreamit texture for Texture Tuesday.

One exhausted pup, nine weeks old, lying between the table and chair legs.

It's a cold and rainy day in California, and all I want is to stay warm and cozy! :))

Apologies for being a day behind again this week...I'll try to catch up this evening...

7 Days of Shooting, Week #24: All I Want for Xmas -- Texture Tuesday

I liked the fact that they let me get this close without taking off. Don't know who dumped the ice or why, but added another texture.

4 x small plants, growing for the new block. They will have masses of showy red bottlebrush flowers which the birds love.

Callistemon viminalis occurs naturally on the east coast of Australia from Cape York to north-east New South Wales.

One of the most popular in cultivation is Callistemon 'Captain Cook'. This cultivar was widely promoted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Captain James Cook's discovery of the east coast of Australia in 1770 and it remains popular today.

This week's Texture Tuesday theme was to use Kim's simplicity texture. I used 1 layer at soft light at 75% on this close-up of an orchid from the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.

It's Tuesday, and that means Texture Tuesday with Kim Klassen. This week we had a challenge to include a coffee or tea cup and, of course, use one of her textures. I used 3: Love, Grey Day Vintage, and February Magic. My tea cup is from my wedding china.

and yes, there are many things currently being left undone. :)

Using KimKlassen's free textures, this is my entry for "open" - an open book and a quote that says: A mind is like a parachute; it functions only when it's open.

For Texture Tues I used Kim's free texture Ugg Love and using various PSE blending modes, I came up with SO many versions of this image. It's a blend of a gazing ball in my yard and a mixed media piece I made and Kim's texture. - A great way to experiment with color combos for a painting, right?

Shot for CC December's most versatile, red and green together, and for 7DOS, Texture Tuesday, Naughty but Nice - treats.

OPEN: I caught this picture while sitting at a stoplight today... these birds were working hard to get the frozen berries OPEN, so they could enjoy the juicy juice inside. OK, I know this is a stretch on the theme, but I loved how the pic turned out so I had to make it fit:) Kim Klassen's Providence texture, multiply X2, and some erasing to make the berries stand out.

Thanks for looking.

For obvious reasons!

I crocheted this scarf a while back and rarely ever use it. Something else I should pass along. Shot for 7DOS Weekly theme bright colours, Texture Tuesday - a day late.

I haven't participated in a Texture Tuesday for a while. I even had to go back into the archives to find something to play with this week. This was shot at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens sometime this past summer. This week's Texture Tuesday challenge was that our image must contain 2 different layers of any of Kim's textures. I chose to use Frame It and Scripted Edges for this image. I think it made a not-so-good image into something special.

I ♥ her...

...she loves cheese!

For Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday The Love eDition.

I used Kim's Thursday and Warmly Cracked.

I used 3 of Kim's textures on this image to tone down the green background a bit (it was a really bright green): I am at 58% multiply, cool grunge at 73% and nutmeg at 53% multiply. I also added a glorious grunge fortitude layer from French kiss. The quote was in splendid 66 and scriptorama fonts.

Our weathered shots should be relative to worn or damaged by the seasons. Architecture, vehicles, Mother Nature and not forgetting portraiture can all be exposed to weather effecting the surface by changing the colour, the form or the texture of our subject.
