Texture Tuesday

This week Kim asked us to focus on 'gratitude'.  This was difficult for me simply because I am grateful for so much. Something that resonates with me is the beauty that surounds us every day.  All we need to do is look carefully enough.

I treated all of these photos with the same recipe.  First I duplicated the layer and adjusted the levels.  I then added a layer of Kim's robins egg, color, 64%.  Next I added a layer of cool grunge, multiply 34%.  I used a mask on each of these layers to remove some of the texture.  Finally I added a layer of fall in, overlay 77%.  The final layer is my favorite!  I also want to share that these images were not altered except for the steps above.  Nature at it's finest. 

Peace!
