The Look of Autumn

 

The days have the unmistakable look of autumn now.  This was a cornfield just ten minutes away.

Day 24 of the August Break.   Have a great day.

 

A Stack of Photos

 

 

I stole this idea from the Artful Diva.  I saw a photo that she had done and I wanted to replicate it.  The frames were Isabelle Lafrance and the embellishment clip is from Kevin and Amanda.  It took me some time to think about how it was done but I think I got close. 

 

Day 20 of the August Break.   Have a great start to your week.  My Dad’s home closes this week so I am off to the Lawyer to hand over the keys. I hope they love the house as much as Mom and Dad did.

 

Acidenthera ‘Murielae’

 

I was sent a package of bulbs in the spring called Acidenthera ‘Murielae’ from www.simplepleasures.com a tall garden flower that would bloom in late summer and liked full sun.   They have begun to bloom this week. I think they are quite beautiful.

Day 18 of the August Break.   Hope you will have a wonderful weekend.

 

Morning After Rain

 

This is the flowers in the urn at the front door after a night’s rain. I like how they glisten.

I used an action by Rita of the Coffeeshop Blog called Cream Velvet and I also used her lace brushes to make the frame.

Day 12 of the August Break.    Have a great day.

I can’t make art to save my life.  Day 10 of the August Break.   Happy Friday.

 

Beware the Frogs

 

 

Last year while sitting by the pond I saw one butterfly after another hovering over the Swamp Milkweed and the Gaillardias and the frogs would jump straight up from the pond and snatch them.  Gulp gulp and they were gone. 

 

Day 9 of the August Break.   Have a great day.
