I was out in the garden yesterday and decided I’d stay away from the flowers and search for a different subject to photograph. I sat under a tree and looked around at the greenery. After a while, I looked down and found some broken pine cones. I had a bit of fun playing around with them.
Out popped this fox, which is quite fitting because a fox has been lurking around for a few weeks.
So cute, right? I’m actually the only one in this household who saw a fox. My son thought it was a mosquito. Ha! Doesn’t matter, I think he’s cute as a button. It’s a tad late to submit him for illustration Friday but in the illustration pool he goes! Wish me luck and thanks so much for visiting!
I love sunflowers and have been planting them in my garden ever since we moved to the mountains 5 years ago. A neighbor kindly gave me some seeds of a perennial variety and I was anxious to see how they would turn out. I am still completely amazed that one tiny seed can produce so much beauty and so many opportunities to multiply.
The original photo was a little fuzzy so I had some fun with it in Photoshop Elements. I found a beautiful free texture via flickr and applied it to the picture for a more dramatic effect. I love how it turned out.
Isn’t it marvelous? I really love the colors. It’s a great shot. Thanks for sharing your talent @bethers! Do check out Beth’s flickr, website and etsy store.
Have a great day everyone! Go out and enjoy the sunshine if you can.
