Flowers and Pearls

Daylillies were beautiful this year, the drought didn't seem to bother them, although I did water them somewhat. 

Horzontal view with a different texture.

Have a slow, peaceful day, enjoy the moments!--Michelle

The Rose

My faviorite flower...The Rose, I never grow tired of admiring it, photographing it,enjoying it's sweet aroma, I love roses.  What's your favorite flower?, it is hard to name just one for me.  I tend to favor the old cottage roses, espeically the David Austin ones.  The soft pretty pink one below is a tea rose bud.

I usedkkim Klassan's textures today, zuzu and organic, having fun combining textures lately.  Linking up with Kim and Leann and Beverly, this week. 

Blessings, Michelle

Here and There

Happy Friday, linking up with Leanne and Kim.

 This pretty butterfly was flittering from one flower to the next, hardly staying put before I could click the shutter on this sunny hot summer day. 

I used Kim Klasson textures soft light and urban on this one.  Have a great Friday!

Blessings, Michelle

Peony & Pearls Still Life

I used Kim Klasson texture "lola". I purchased these beautiful pearl strands at an antique shop and just love them. Peonies are from my garden. Trying to stay cool, we are having an extreme heat wave for western ny. Flowers are coming on fast this season, way ahead by about three weeks I'd say. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Michelle
