and there are bees buzzing all around.
I didn't make a note of which textures I used this time, but I'm pretty sure one of them was my new favorite, broken book. I've also been liking mixed media and moody lately too.
I created a button today for a new blog link up that I'm going to be hosting each Thursday. You can check it out under This or That Thursday in my menu bar (and the button is right over there in my sidebar).
There are no themes for this hop so you can choose any photo you'd like! I hope you'll come back on Thursday and link up a photo!
These are such beautiful shots and I love your texture work.
ReplyDeletei miss my sage bushes. they died out a few years back in a mild drought we were having (and i didn't water them enough!) they'd have never made it thru this year though!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I always want to get good photos when my sage blooms, but all the bees chase me away!
ReplyDeleteThose blooms are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI will have to try to link up. My blogging has been pretty dodgy lately. If I don't make it this week, you can count on me to join in another. You know I am one of your biggest fans. :)
Beautiful, always is Deb. And I sort of have a thing for bees. : )
ReplyDeleteSee you Thursday!

WOW...they are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI noticed them the other day on the way home.
Great capture.
Excited about Thursday!
Beautiful shots. Love the texture.
ReplyDeleteThe textures on these are so wonderful! I could just sit and watch bees all day - everything about them is just fascinating!!
ReplyDeleteThis and That Thursday sounds great! These photos are lovely. Beautiful color, and texture :)
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo beautiful, I wish I knew more about textures! Really have to learn..! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhòw they are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think I can sent it to the store, but it will cost me. Maybe I can better invest in a 1.4...hmmmm
Lovely pictures of a pretty flower, love what you have done with them.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb!
ReplyDeleteThose sage blooms are gorgeous. I wish I had a few sage flowers for my lunch salad :)
Lovely texture work too.
Have a lovely Tuesday.
I don't think I've ever seen sage. It's really beautiful!

ReplyDeleteYay! You're hosting a link up! How fun! Oh and I love your shots today! They are lovely!
ReplyDeleteI finally remembered to pick some of my sage to dry. No blooms now, but it still smell heavenly.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great capture of the bee; I can see his pollen sack. I love the sage, sooooo beautiful. I think sage has one of the most beautiful tones of green. Lovely.
