I'm always dreaming of flowers and was I ever happy to come across this Turk's Cap Lily on a recent neighbourhood walk. Edited with an added effect in Topaz Studio. HSS!

Thank you for taking the time to view this image and for leaving me a comment! Have a wonderful day!

Nothing smacks of summer like a Black-Eyed Susan! On a recent walk, I found some growing as wildflowers along with Wild Bergamot. I took the scene to Topaz Studio for editing and an added effect. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thank you for taking the time to view this image and for leaving me comment! Have a wonderful day and new week ahead!

There's nothing quite like the show of lilacs in the spring. They are not only pretty, but they smell heavenly. I just love these flowers! HSS!

Hello Everyone,

The Prairie Crocus is Manitoba's provincial flower and first wildflower to pop up. This was taken last year and I am really looking forward to finding some this spring. By the looks of it, we might have an early spring, fingers crossed!!!

Hi Everyone!

I feel like each slider that I work on is a grand experiment! For this week's slider's "experiment," I decided to play with watercolour effects.

The image was edited with effects in Topaz Studio using Al Remix, then I pulled various sliders here, there and everywhere! Happy Slider's Sunday! HSS!

My friend has a lovely woodland-style garden where I captured these delicate spring blossoms in 2021.

Thank you so much for viewing and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!

The wind is howling and snow is blowing all over the place right now, so I couldn't help but think of summertime wildflowers. For Sliders Sunday, they were edited with an effect and colour saturation in Topaz Studio. I hope you enjoy! HSS!

Hi there,

There's nothing like bright rudbeckias to represent summer and I can hardly wait to see them again. I took this garden scene to Topaz and added an effect for Sliders Sunday. I hope you enjoy! HSS!

It's peony season and this fragrant one sure reminds me of a carnation. For Sliders Sunday, I took it to Topaz Studio where I added an effect and vignette. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Hi Everyone!

I decided to make this Trollius bloom look more like a flaming torch, or so I hoped. I used both Photoshop Elements 15 and Topaz Studio for editing and effects. Happy Slider Sunday! HSS!

Thank you for stopping by and for your comments which are very much appreciated! Have a marvelous day!

Sliders Sunday is here, so I took the peony to Topaz Studio for editing. I can't tell you what I did, but I certainly had fun! HSS!

Thank you for taking the time to view this image and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!

Hello There!

As much as I hate to see flowers fade, they carry their own beauty. Edited with effects in Topaz Studio for Sliders Sunday. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

A sidenote: For today, I wanted a more rustic appearance. However, I think I'd like to fool around with this image in monochrome as well. Seems that the possibilities are endless!!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your comments! I really appreciate hearing from you! Have a terrific day!

Hello Everyone,

These are the wee blooms of Blue Vervain which can be grown in a garden or found in the wild. I took the image to Topaz Studio to slightly saturated only the purple tones and then pulled some sliders here and there and everywhere! It is always a grand experiment to try these different things! Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Autumn, when every leaf is a flower

Thank you for your visits comments and favs! :-)

Hi There!

With our temperatures dropping, I have been re-visiting my spring archives. This iris was spotted in a back lane on one of my walks; you never know where you'll find a flower! I decided to aim for a classic impressionist effect for this stately flower. Edited with effects in Topaz Studio. Happy Slider's Sunday! HSS!

Hello Everyone!

“Life is about using the whole box of crayons.” – RuPaul

I think Rudbeckias are lovely flowers, but I found myself asking this, "Do they always have to be yellow? Why not change the colours?" Why not?!

This rendition was accomplished via Photoshop Elements 15 and Topaz Studio (Oil Spill 1). Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me comment. I do LOVE hearing from you! Have a creative and colourful day!

Hello Everyone!

These were puffy, pale, pink blooms. (Say that ten times in a row)! Even though they were delicate and lovely as is, I thought it would be really neat to play with colour. Surprisingly, this spray of blooms also looked quite nice in monochrome. Happy Slider's Sunday! HSS!

Edited and effects in Topaz Studio.

I am a bit behind in comments as I have been quite busy of late. I will be catching up with you in the next day!

I appreciate you taking the time to view this image and leave comments! I do love hearing from you. Have a fantastic day!

If you look closely, you'll find a few ants going about their business. Incidentally, the background was a clump of low-growing evergreen bushes.
