Flora

People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.

Life: Thank God above for the weekend.

About the pictures: I bet you guessed it...Longwood Gardens back in March! I mentioned a while ago that I would be offering some textures for free if anyone is interested. Two of those textures are shown in use here. Image 6 and 7 are both processed with a texture that I made from a picture of emu feathers. The next to last image is made with a texture of red barn wood. If anyone is interested in getting the full resolution textures from me, please email me through the contact button and I will send them your way. ;0)

Weigh In: Throw a question my way that I can answer next week!

Have a wonderful weekend. Tomorrow will be Mail Call Sunday...come back and see the surprise I got in the mail this week! Woot!

  4. Love all the photos. I will be emailing my request for the textures! As far as a question, if you had a week basically to yourself what would you do to stay occupied? It has only been a couple of hours since Dan left and I have a few little projects lined up, but for the most part I am grasping at straws already.

  7. Your floral photos are spectacular - they could be in a National Geographic magazine!

    Makes my floral beauties look lame. Of course, I am using a point and shoot.

    When do you have time to rest?
