dream

Kim Klassen has given us another beautiful texture. This one is called dream which is also the theme for texture tuesday today.


I've been having a lot of fun with my macro lens lately. I was so happy when I spotted this little ladybug crawling around my crepe myrtle. And I thought the new dream texture was just right for this image.


My neighbor has a desperado sage that is just about to bloom. The tiny buds are so delicate. I added the silence texture this time.


And we've been having a lot of rain lately so I captured this drop of water just as it was about to fall. I used the golden texture - another favorite from Kim Klassen.

    Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment. Your photos are beautiful. I can't decide if I like the lady bug or water drop best. Your choice of textures is lovely on all three shots. A macro lens it at the top of my wish list.

    beautiful examples of texture! I love the lady bug too, but those sage buds are lovely -- and that little bit of dark pink against all that lovely green! Oh my! I love you all your soft shades!! : )

    I'm envious of your rain. And envious of your rain drop pictures, too. You have inspired me to play with some textures tonight! Great shots chica.

    Also, Happy Birthday to your 16 year old! What a milestone, eh? For you as well I'm sure. I can't even imagine having a 16 year old. TIME FLIES! :) ENJOY!
