Gary and I had a fun weekend getaway in Biloxi which is a small town on the gulf coast of Mississippi. It's a great place for having fun with a camera.
Although we didn't really play on the beach like we do when the boys are with us, I did enjoy the scenery.
Biloxi has the only lighthouse that sits in the middle of a four lane highway. It's an interesting fact, but it doesn't make for a very pretty background. I helped it out a little with some textures.
This is the before~
and the after~
The theme for texture tuesday is people so I played around with one of my favorites of the boys from our family beach trip a few weeks ago.
So picturesque! Looks like a lovely place for a weekend away, hope you and Gary had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the texture in these...and that highway beside th eocean. I've never seen anything like that!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, now I'm longing to go to the beach.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful images and I love the change that texture made to the lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of your boys heading into the water, love it.
Great Photos! In love with the palm trees.. amazing composition ond DOF
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the textures. Biloxi -- that's such a strange name -- I wonder if it's from a Native American language?
ReplyDeleteAh, lovely. I love the textured lighthouse. REally well done.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots. Loved each one Deb.
ReplyDeleteThe lighthouse was just fantastic!!
Looking forward to our visit.
Hope you have a blessed day♥
I like the two boys, they are like mine. Your work makes it more intensive.

Aaaaah...love the beach! Your photos are wonderful!
ReplyDeletePretty! I love the 2nd shot. It's my favorite! Glad y'all had a great beach weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots. I love the ocean.
ReplyDelete=)
I really love the palm tree shot, but that might just be because I'm jealous you have them and we don't. :-) The texture on the lighthouse photo is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and leaving such kind words! Your photos are beautiful. The textures are so much fun. Somehow the texture work on the photo of your boys almost creates a 3d effect. Love your work.
ReplyDeletePeace!
What an amazing place to spend time, lovely photos :)
ReplyDeleteOh Deb, thank you for giving me a fabulous dose of ocean! The lighthouse texture is amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful water shots - the second one of the boats with the lovely pink sky is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteBut your shot of your boys racing towards the sea, now that is precious as well as being a lovely photo.
Great photos. I especially like the ones with the texture - those should be on a huge canvas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect weekend Deb! They make me relaxed just looking at them.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the texture on the light house & your boys!! Great SWEET shot! So beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful, the pictures with textures look like paintings, wonderful texture work. Which textures did you use?
ReplyDeleteWe used to live not far from there. Over the bridge in Ocean Springs. Great shots. Love the texture you used.
ReplyDeleteLove your texture Tuesday shot. Very cool texture, looks vintage. I love the one of the lighthouse also!
ReplyDeleteWhat a place to enjoy just two of you, I hope you had really nice time:) Love the light house with texture.
ReplyDeleteI never knew Biloxi was so beautiful! Plus your textures are gorgeous! Which textures did you use? Great job!
ReplyDeletewow these are all very pretty shots!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful -- the tones are so natural. Love!! :)

ReplyDeleteThese are all great, but my favorite has to be the lighthouse. It looks like a painting.
What beautiful shots! Sounds like a fabulously relaxing time...quality one on one time is so great!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love, love that shot of the sun setting in the harbor with the boats. it stood out so much to me. It should be framed and sold. So should the white fence along the beach shot. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots Deb, love the palm trees. How I miss the beach from when we lived down South. Thanks for your kind comments, I appreciate your visits.
ReplyDeleteTiffany
LOVE THESE! That second photo is great. Awesome edit too!
ReplyDeleteLove the texture on the lighthouse! That certainly is an interesting place to put one!
ReplyDelete"It's frustrating to me how few shots I get that I really really love". It's same with me. But you know what, I hope that means that our standards are really (really) high. LOL
ReplyDeleteBTW I really really like your edited lighthouse. Be proud of it and frame it! :)
The lighthouse is remarkable!!!! And of course, I'm drawn to the sailboats and water ... sigh ....
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos and a fantastic use of textures! That lighthouse is adorable!
