My back yard.

A little something different for today.  This is a view of my back yard during a sunset.  A layer of Kim's kk_cherish was used with the blend mode of difference and an oilpaint filter.

My favorite little man

My favorite little man came to visit today. Being Farther's Day, his parents, my son and his wife brought my grandson for brunch. My heart melts when I see him and I treasure every moment we spend with him. After brunch he and I went for a walk around the yard. The first stop was at a raised flower bed, which he quickly climbed to see what was on top of the ties.

On to a group of trees where he found something in the grass that grabbed his attention. His inquisitive mind always seems to be in overdrive and the world seems so fresh and new through his eyes.

   

Playing Peek-A-Boo in the trees is becoming a favorite game for both of us.  Not to mention great photo ops for Grandma.

Last stop in the yard was a newly planted flower bed where he explored the magic of dirt.

I hope you all had a wonderful Sunday and got to spend some time with someone you love.

The Simple Things

The weather outside is frightful.

Our first snow storm arrived with a vengeance today.  After arriving home from work I took this picture of our front yard and so many snowflakes landing on the lens it looked like a very bad case of sensor dust.  The only way to fix it was add a texture or two.  I first used Kim Klassen's  Phoebe followed by her Grunge frame. I finally figured out the mouse over code so you can see the before and after by hovering the mouse on the photo.

Hoar Frost in the pasture

Sunday morning nature treated us to an incredible display of hoar frost turning the pasture into a magical world.

Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday theme this week is the number 2.  Kim's texture Lifesgood was added to this photo of 2 trees.
