First off… let me say its 4:30am Sunday morning. Every time this week that I tried/remember to catch my kids sleeping, I got busted. So after a REALLY overdone Saturday, I finally caught a shot. But its 4:30….and “I” should be sleeping. So here ya go. Now back off to bed for me 😉
Now go check out Kristin M. Young’s submission. Its sure to be a great one!
Instead of using a texture in Post Processing, I decided to find something with texture to photograph. On the way to look at floodwaters today… we drove past a wheat field that had been spared from the rising waters. Perfect subject.
Now go make the rounds and don’t forget to leave some love!!!
Next up is Robyn Oakenfold, Calgary Photographer
How cool is this! Love the natural texture here.
I love that there are so many natural textures as well. And the natural color of wheat is so pretty!
Oh, I love this!!! Very nice natural texture.
I always thought wheat was so beautiful up close. Great job!

Ooooh love the detail here Rachel. Great shot!
Wow! The detail here is gorgeous!
For our last assignment for our Bloom Workshop we were asked to tell a story using photographs. We were to choose from a selection of snipets from Dr. Seuss “The Places You Will Go”
My Snipet:
You’ll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You’ll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life’s
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And my Submission:
This week’s theme is Crisp/Fresh….
Again, I broke out the Macro for this one. The more I use it the more I love it! This is a close up of a Coneflower. I love how the light filters through the center of it!
Sorry to post and run! The past few weeks have been nutso around here! Thankfully our house is not being directly affected by the flood waters. I feel so for our friends that are. Please keep Vicksburg and all of those who are in the path of this mighty Mississippi in your prayers!

This week our theme is Joy. I used one of the photos from my Bloom Workshop as we also had the word “Joy” for our last assignment. Unfortunately our area is getting pretty hard hit with flooding along the Mississippi and I have been working a bit more and helping friends move… so something had to give.
Anyhow… Here is my joy… in his joy… M-U-D!
Now head on over to Kristin M. Young’s Blog and see her beautiful work!
