Photo Friday

Wildflower Edition

Top 3 at Flower Art Friday!

Life has been crazy busy here the last several weeks as we all get adjusted to a new schedule in our schools. I haven't been awake enough in my free time to post much here, and would you believe, I just looked back to see some photo posts and found that my photo posted a few weeks ago was voted a favorite over at Leann's blog!

Remember this one?

Thanks everyone, for your votes....I am honored.

Goldenrod - Photo Art Friday and Flower Friday

Wow, y'all.  This new job, receptionist at a high school, is kicking my behind!  Not that it is hard, but I haven't not had to get up and work all day for quite some time and my body is just not used to this!  By Thursday, I was dragging!  And next week my start time will change to 6:45 am!!  That is insane for this non-morning person!!  I haven't even calculated what time I need to get up to be there at that time!

Anyhoo, I know you stopped by to see some lovely, so here is my submission for Photo Art Friday and Flower Friday.

On our recent vacation to Canada, I was able to gather lots of fun wildflowers to photograph, so hopefully you'll see some more soon.  I love the beautiful yellow of goldenrod!  I used Kim Klassen's 'Oh My' on Soft Light at 100% and Multiply at 100%.

Another Daisy for Flower Art Friday

Somehow I missed the photo prompt last week at Leanne's for something red!  This cute little daisy really doesn't fit the bill, but I was so pleased with the result I just had to share it with you!  This is straight out of the camera with just a little adjustment to the brightness.

If you didn't see my announcement over the last few days, I recently opened a new Etsy shop, where you can find many of my photos for sale (including this one).  I hope you will stop over and celebrate with me.  I have a gift of a 40% off coupon for you with the code GRAND, valid until Sunday.

Enjoy your weekend!

Photoshop Fun for Friday Link-ups

Another week has flown by, and another Friday is here to participate in my fave photo link-ups!  Photo Art Friday's challenge was "fencing".  I have no idea of the explanation of this bike on the fence, but I thought it was whimsical!

Flower Art Friday had me running in circles.  I started with one idea, and by the time I was done with my edits, it was nothing like what I had in mind to begin with!!  This is a water lily found on the Mississippi River.

Live - Photo & Flower Art Friday

I'm playing in the wildflowers again.  Queen Anne's Lace is one of my favorites.  I just love the detail.  Have you noticed in this summer's extreme heat the wildflowers are still going strong?  No wilting for them!  Forecast is for 103 degrees here today. ~wow~

I want to thank all of you who come by to visit each Friday and leave comments on my work.  It means the world to me and has really helped give me the confidence to keep going and experiment with my photography.  Thank you so much for all of your encouragement!!

I used Kim Klassen's texture 'Now' and 'Little Things'.

Some Weeds are my Friends - Photo Art Friday

I love these flowers all in bloom along the country roads. They really are weeds, but I love their cornflower blue color and cheery faces.
