Grunge it up

I have been playing with some textures lately and these two photos are the result.

Texture is from Shadowhouse Creations, it is a grungy type texture and I think it goes well with rusty barbed wire.

I have to admit I really like rough and darker and grungier textures and photos rather than the soft pastel creations. I don't know, I guess its all about preferences!

My hubby says they look oppressive!

Purr-fect

Learning how to convert photos in different ways to Black/White. This one I used a Gradient. And I used Levels to increase contrast.

This is just a friendly cat I met at an Antique Barn.

Foxglove and the rain!

Foxglove after the rain.

And this is my favorite of the set. Love the curl in the branch and how the water is heavy enough to make the branch of Foxglove bend under the weight.

Not the edible kind though, the gills on the underside were what caught my eye.

And now, off for some supper and a glass of Wine!

I can see the Forest for the Trees.



Cultass Lake is located outside of Chilliwack in the Fraser Valley. It is a miniature tourist mecca in the summer with campers, hikers, boaters and swimmers coming to enjoy its beauty. We spent an afternoon here taking photos of a friend's service Dog and captured some of the local scenery as well.

And because it is one of my favorite shots, I am also going to post it here!

Old Garden shoes find new purpose as Planters for Hens and Chicks.

And an old Garden Implement makes a handy garden gate Lock.

It is nice to see people re-using old or broken things in a new way rather than sending them to the landfill.
