Serenpidity

IMG_3283

Serendipity is the name of Kim Klassen’s texture that I used on this photo...

I used Serendipity on the top photo at 100% in the multiply mode of CS5....

On the bottom version I cropped it more in Picasa and

applied the Picasa Sepia Effect...

I’m still trying to learn CS5...taking baby steps here...

Just Outside My Door...

image

Just outside my door is a trellis with a Clematis Vine

...and this year we have a birds nest...

It had only one egg the day I took these photos

Now it has three...

I’m kind of excited!!!

 

image

The photo above is from my files, I think it was a Dogwood Bush or something

like that...I don’t think it has bloomed since it’s first year...

 

image

I think this Candy Tuft might be my favorite perennial ...

image

image

This Japanese Maple is more of a bush than a tree...

it is about four feet tall and probably six feet in diameter...

 

image

It currently has a nice crop of weeds, ivy and a black dog under it...

 

image

Michael thinks this Japanese Kerria is downright invasive..

I love those prolific blooms...

“Wild with abandon” comes to mind when I look at them...

 

imageI love taking photos of them...

Wishing all of you a Happy Easter Holiday

Enjoy your families!!!
