Gratitude is…

 

Golden Delicious with textures

In this part of the world we take for granted the ability to go into our favourite supermarket or green grocer and pick out the juiciest and freshest fruits and vegetables.  This juicy Golden Delicious is one of my favourites in the fall as it is so crisp and has that just tart taste that wakes up my taste buds.  I give gratitude to the farmer who grew this thing of beauty.  What do you give gratitude for today.

Joining Lisa Gordon our host for The Creative Exchange and to Kim Klassen who hosts Texture Tuesday.   I have used two textures for my photo.  I used a texture by French Kiss called “deep lemon fresco” and Kim Klassen’s “and then some”.

Love this picture of your apple - the tones and colours are really good, and the apple looks very tasty.

Visiting from both "Creative Exchange" AND "TT". Love your photo AND your choices of texture/application. I don't think I've ever eating a Golden Delicious...I always hone in on the Red Delicious and Granny Smiths.

Love the texture. Your apple looks good enough to eat. hee-hee! Yes, we take so much for granted. I feel so blessed. I try and make it a point to thank God every day for all of my many blessings. My sweet mother taught all of her children to be grateful. I'm grateful for that!
