A quick Tuesday tulip!


What a busy time...turns out our lovely new girl Izzy is excellent in the car so we journeyed about all weekend with her...having taken a break I'm now a bit behind, so a quick edit today...






I used Kim's 'subtly yours' texture and took the picture to lightroom and played with the saturation to give an old faded retro look...hope you're having better weather where you are, it's freezing here again!

  10. I do love the color and texture of this imaage, Ruth! Beautifully photographed and edited! We've had two days in the high 80's, which is not normal for early May. I think we'll be back to the 60's and 70's by the weekend, though.

  20. Awww so wonderful about your sweet Izzy! And my! that photo is just amazing!! LOVE IT! Wish I had some extra money right now! I would buy a print of this for sure! My granddaughter called and said she has to pay a ticket violation of $350 and didn't have the money, so we felt sorry for her and that's an expense we didn't need. Oh well, what do ya do?

    I will keep your prints in mind though, I didn't know you sold them!

    Hope you get some warmth very soon!
