Texture Tuesday

The Old Rose Bush

It was planted with love by someone who 

lived on this old farm many years ago.

They had dreams of seeing it grow and

flourish and thrive.

Maybe they had dreams of sweet

scented bouquets

placed around the farm cottage.

Perhaps they envisioned the beautiful

blossoms climbing up

the side of a trellis as it was

planted next to the porch.

We'll never know the story of this old rose

but I feel it is our duty...

a privilege... 

to continue to care for 

and nurture this beautiful rose

so that those who follow in the years

to come will enjoy her beauty

as much as we do.

It's TEXTURE TUESDAY once 

again and I am joining

with 

Kim Klassen

over at the Cafe

Here is the photo I used for the texture

today.

Our photo had to be centered around 

 the prompt/theme 'STORY'.

I used Kim's Simplicity texture

once at 100% 

then again at 29%

after turning the saturation down -56%

and lightness to +5

Here are the two photo's again a 

little closer together.

I wish I could figure out how

to do the 'mouse over'.

If you love photography 

and would love to try and learn

to be creative with your photo's

but you're not sure what to do....

please visit Kim's web site...you'll be

glad you did. 

Believe me...if I can do it...so can you!

Kim will start you off with the basics 

with easy to follow tutorials

plus she offers classes that will take your

plain old photo's to wonderful works of art.

I warn you though...it's addictive!

I hope you'll stop by and see what other

Bloggers just like you have created 

with Kim's textures.

Have a great week!
