The flower a tethered butterfly.

For Kim's Texture Tuesday this week, the prompt is "soft". I love the soft feel of this first photo I took a few days ago of our newly planted dogwood tree (planted last year). It's only about five feet tall at this point. I used Kim's "shine" texture at Soft Light/33%. I also put it into Radlab and used the Maple filter at 50%. There have been so many gorgeous photo opportunities on my street this past week, so I'm adding a couple more captures of spring in Virginia.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. And I love how your eye saw a tethered butterfly in that first shot...brilliant!

ReplyDeleteSherri, your images are gorgeous, especially the first one. I love the quote.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherri! I love this image of the dogwood blossom – it really does resemble wings. They are the sweetest trees – we have one which was in bloom when we first looked on our property and it was so charming I'm sure it helped us decide to buy the house.
ReplyDeleteVery much enjoyed seeing your scenes of spring in Virginia! And thank you for your recent comments – very much appreciated.
Wishing you a joyful weekend. – g
