Hello everyone, hope you are well.
I have been so absent as of late. But I’m not going to bore you with all my excuses. I will say that I thought I had better get a post up before I forget how to do it.
Texture Tuesday seems to be my lifeline. It’s one of the things I love to participate in and I usually try to come up with something. It takes me to a place that I wish I could be all the time; simply creating because I love it.
I picked up this glorious hydrangea the other day. It’s just one bloom in a tiny pot. One perfect little bloom. I love it.
Our world is warming up and things are turning the tiniest bit green. As I drove home from town yesterday, I could see that all the willow catkins were bursting out and seemed to be glowing in the late afternoon sunlight. I’m going to pick a bunch this afternoon and take my time arranging them. I am so looking forward to that.
The ice on our lake has finally vanished and that is cause for major excitement around here. We have a little group that places bets on when it will go ($100.00, and you’re in). Hubby didn’t win this time, but that’s OK. We just want to get our dock assembled, and our boat in the water. And we’re hoping for another wonderful summer spent with family and friends.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
For my image today, I used one layer of kk_3003 on soft light. Kim wanted our image to POP, so I bumped up the saturation on the hydrangea and softened the background. Check it out at Texture Tuesday!
hoping you’re spending your time enjoying spring!
So lovely, Barb !
That Hydrangea flower has such a wonderful color,
beautiful texture work !
Nice week,
Sylvia
Beautiful so perfect Barb… Sounds as if you have a lovely Summer to look forward to…
Oh, wow! This is so soft and pretty! Love it. Glad you’re getting a bit of spring. Ice still on the lake? Oh, my!
This is a lovely shot! We have a blue/purple hydrangea and I hope to get a shot of it’s amazing bloom soon. I love the soft pink color of this one. Spring is finally here as well and I couldn’t be happier!
Visiting from Texture Tuesday.
ahh, such a lovely, soft image. Here’s hoping the weather continues to warm for you and that your summer ahead will be as beautiful as the lovely hydrangea.
I just pick up a plant with the same exact coloring today, of course I had to get it at the grocery as you know how it is here for such plants….NOT with our weather.
Lovely the way you presented it Barb, beautiful image.
Such a pretty image – love the softness.
Your image is fabulous! Glad to hear the green is back and most likely there to stay a while. :)
The hydrangea looks absolutely perfect – very much like Spring! Pretty and so fragile.
Thank you for this beautifully arranged photo. Hydrangeas are my all time favourite flowers. It is such a pleasure to open your posts and view your creative work.
Your work is as beautiful as ever! I’m so glad I stopped by and will do better at visiting. I love the gentle color and tones of the image…it’s so peaceful. Have wonderful day!
Beautifully soft and dreamy.
