Butterfly

59-365

'Butterfly'

Another beautiful day, here.

I spent most of the day outside, working in the garden.

While resting, I noticed this Red Admiral, sunning himself on 

a small terra cotta lantern.

It really felt like Spring had arrived.

But, Winter is due back again, soon.

Texture Tuesday...Natural Edition...

Our prompt this week for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday is

Natural.

What's more natural that a beautiful butterfly, on wild Verbena?

We had so many, in the meadow behind our house.

I desaturated the image.

Then, added two layers of Kim's texture ' And Then Some'...

once @ multiply 100%

once @ soft light 90%

Then a layer of Kim's 'Oh My' @ hard light 79%

And, a layer of Kim's 'Cracker Jack' @ multiply 100%

I masked most of the textures off a couple blooms and the butterfly.

It came out nice and soft.  

Here's the original.

Hop over to Kim's place, and see some beautiful texture work.
