Texture Tuesday...Free & Easy Edition...

Texture Tuesday again....the last one of the month.
Where did the summer go?

This week is Free and Easy...means anything goes.

Morning light coming through the leaves on the hyacinth bean, make those leaves glow.
I added one of Kim's textures, 'Serious Magic'. 
It made it even more dramatic.

Be sure to hop over to Kim's, to see more texture work and great photos.

This week for 

kimklassendotcom

Texture Tuesday...August 7, 2012...Anything Goes...

This week for Texture Tuesday, we can submit any photo....doesn't have to have a texture.

Since I forgot....again...to write down what I did to this one,
it works for me.

So, here goes.


This little guy was having a lot of fun getting nectar from the hyacinth bean.
These are fast little creatures.  Hard to get a good shot.

I think I used some of Kim's textures...but, I just don't remember....sigh.

Hop over to Kim Klassen's place, and see some great photos.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday....August 5, 2012...

Here we are again at 
Ashley Sisk's



So here we go....


Going back in time.

Back again to the San Antonio Mission Trail, and San Jose Mission.
Back to the 1700s, is going back in time.


Something just for me.

On our Panama Canal cruise last year, our group would meet every evening for a drink before dinner.
I had the martinis...with 'free' glass.  This one was the best....Key Lime.  Yum.


Best part of my day.

We sit on the porch every evening.  It's relaxing, and I have this lovely view.


Night & day.

Day is done....gone's the sun.


Look up.

I don't know what this little guy is looking at.  Maybe he's just planning his next move.

Hope you enjoyed this week's Hunt.
