Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!! I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic. I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again. Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers. We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table. We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases. The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing. Th
Your first shot looks like a beautiful painting. I love what you did with the processing.

ReplyDeleteOh, I love what you've done with the dried flower buds. A lovely edit. And the hay in the fields ... a wonderful story.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and vintage looking. Love your new header. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteWhat a feel to the second picture. Love your new header too.
ReplyDeleteNice compositions, very relaxing to view.
ReplyDeleteStunning! All those rolls of hay (or whatever they are--I'm not a country girl) are intriguing. These are very pleasing images.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful choice of textures to enhance the nature shots.... Michelle
ReplyDeletevery pretty effects; I love the snowfields image
ReplyDeletethank you so much for all of the lovely comments. I wish I remembered the process I used on this image. However, I just play around with the textures that I have until I see something I like. I use Picnic which is free on line.
