Beauty

Not only will it restore your soul, it will restore the souls of those around you.

I saw this peacock just walking down a neighboring street.  I had to pull over and take a picture of him.  His feathers were so beautiful.  I sat in my car just watching him walk with such elegance.  It was if he owned the road, not something you see everyday.

The Do eDition

How time flies...it's already Texture Tuesday with Kim Klassen.  I was so unprepared for this weeks challenge.  Our challenge is "Do" and/or using Kim's fabulous free (yes, I said free) texture "Autumn Burst".  I had to look in my archives for a photo to use.

Several years ago, we went to San Diego's Wild Animal Park on vacation.  I had just gotten my Nikon DSLR camera a few months before our vacation.  So needless to say, I was still learning the ins and outs of it.  As we were approaching to turn in to the parking lot (sitting in traffic) I leaned out of the car and snapped this photo.  It's a hot air balloon that's in the park, that you can ride up in to see the whole area.  Unfortunately, during our time there it got really windy and that ride was shut down.  Anyway here's my entry for this weeks challenge.

This image spoke to me (for this challenge) "Do reach for the sky".  I also loved this quote and thought it was fitting for the image and for our challenge.

I used Kim Klassen's Autumn Burst blending mode Hardlight at 83%.

Texture Tuesday

Hello, it's that time again.  I so look forward to Texture Tuesdays...even though I don't always participate.  I do get loads of inspiration from others who do.  

Our assignment was to use at least one of Kim Klassen's textures and a word, quote or phrase on your photo.

Here is mine...unfortunately I can't tell you how I did this, but I can tell you which textures I used.

I used Kim's texture "Bent Edges".  If you'd like more information on Texture Tuesday click here.

Happy Editing!

Look what we just caught.....

Lunar Monster boxes are particularly rare and difficult to capture, as one can only do this once every Blue Moon. This Lunar box is also magical because it possessives the ability to lift ones spirits by simply lifting it's lid.

Inside, miraculously enough, are Beatles lyrics!! We've never seen anything like this before. Look what we discovered inside...

"And we all shine on...like the Moon and the stars and the Sun."
See, you're smiling already!

This creature measures approximately 5" tall and 4.5" in diameter and features hand carved crescent moon relief and glow in the dark stars made out of polymer clay.
